French fighters have historically had to compete elsewhere, far from home, far from their local fans. That&#8217;s the story of Ciryl Gane (4-0, 1-0 UFC), a deadly French heavyweight who recently debuted in the UFC.<\/p>\n<p>Gane&#8217;s professional MMA career prior to his move to the UFC was spent with French-Canadian MMA promotion TKO. He was able to collect the promotion&#8217;s heavyweight belt in his first fight, back in 2018, and defended it twice in the span of just 10 months.<\/p>\n<p>With a perfect record of 3 victories and no losses, &#8220;Bon Gamin&#8221;, then managed to get the most desired ticket in MMA: a UFC contract.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know UFC heavyweight roster is not that deep&#8221; Ciryl Gane told BJPENN.com &#8220;But it&#8217;s not the only reason [if I got signed]. I&#8217;m a fast learner, I&#8217;m like a sponge, I learn in a very quick way. So there is that. Plus my management, Management Factory, did a very good job in order to get me signed&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Although Gane is new to the MMA game, he&#8217;s not a rookie in terms of combat sports. He&#8217;s competed in both Muay Thai and kickboxing in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To be honest it wasn&#8217;t that easy to switch from Kickboxing and Muay Thai to Mixed martial arts,&#8221; Gane said. &#8220;The most difficult thing to manage was the distance part. I mean, in those sports you can afford to go forward, to chase your opponent but you can&#8217;t do that all the time in MMA since you expose yourself to level changes, to takedowns.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Looking at his record you can surely tell that switch went quite well for him. In his first four fights, he&#8217;s won two bouts by TKO or KO, and two by submission.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not an easy fighter [to beat],&#8221; he said. &#8220;With my skills, I&#8217;m sure I can be a threat to everyone in the division&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Bon Gamin, which means &#8220;Good Kid&#8221; in French, is going to welcome Don&#8217;Tale Mayes (7-2) this weekend at UFC Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m definitely ready for this fight but, at the same time, I&#8217;m not going to underestimate my opponent just because he&#8217;s at his UFC debut,&#8221; Gane said. &#8220;He has more experience than me and I know for sure it won&#8217;t be an easy fight&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2019\/8\/9\/20791403\/coach-fernand-lopez-on-newcomer-ciryl-gane-saturday-will-be-the-start-of-something-big\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an interview with MMA Fighting&#8217;s Peter Carroll<\/a>, coach Fernand Lopez said Ciryl Gane was born ready; that &#8220;the kid has something.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gane is happy to have the confidence of his coach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My coach believes in me and I do feel the same way&#8221; the Frenchman told BJPENN.com. &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna be the next big thing in the heavyweight division&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In order to do that, though, he&#8217;s going to have to face a lot of tough opponents first and one of those could be his friend and former teammate Francis Ngannou. He&#8217;d prefer not to fight his fellow Frenchman, but would do so under the right circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I won&#8217;t have any other choice I&#8217;ll fight him,&#8221; Gane said. &#8220;Say he has the belt and I&#8217;m the next in line for a title shot. If I&#8217;m chasing the belt, of course, I&#8217;m going to fight him. It&#8217;s a sport. It&#8217;s nothing personal. After that, I would train with him again without any problems. Anyway, I need to rack up a few other victories before thinking about that scenario&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Since we have to wait a while before that hypothetical bout to happen, it&#8217;s not that impossible we could see it happen in France down the road. As mentioned before, MMA will be legally accepted as a proper sport in France as soon as 2020 begins.<\/p>\n<p>UFC brass, in fact, already stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/radioguerriers\/status\/1185642368407670784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">they are going to host an event in Paris by the end of next year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s finally official,&#8221; Gane said. &#8220;The UFC is coming to France. I&#8217;ve been looking for that for a very long time now. We have tons of very talented fighters here, especially in our gym. I mean, Taylor Lapilus, Rizlen Zouak, Nassourdine Imavov, Mehdi Ben Lakhdhar, Samir Faiddine (the current Cage Warriors flyweight champion), they are all UFC material. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing them debuting at the first UFC event in Paris. Also, I want and I know I can headline it. I&#8217;m really expecting it to happen&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>With an impressive win in Singapore, Gane could really start climbing the heavyweight ladder. Do you think we&#8217;ll see him headlining the UFC&#8217;s debut in France next year?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 10\/22\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MMA will finally be legal in France on January 1 of the New Year.
