A heavyweight bout featuring former division champion Junior dos Santos taking on Ciryl Gane kicked off tonight’s UFC 256 pay-per-view event.<\/p>\n

Dos Santos (21-9 MMA) had entered tonight’s event looking to snap a three-fight losing skid. In his most previous effort at UFC 252, ‘JDS’ suffered a second round TKO loss<\/a> to Jairzinho Rozenstruik. That setback was preceded by stoppage losses to Curtis Blaydes and Francis Ngannou.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ciryl Gane had entered UFC 256 sporting a perfect professional record of 6-0. The Frenchman was stepping inside the Octagon<\/a> for the first time since scoring a unanimous decision victory over Tanner Boser twelve months ago when he squared off with Junior dos Santos this evening.<\/p>\n
