VID #1 Ciryl Gane to meet # 3 Tai Tuivasa in UFC's first visit to France

[PaulieG]

UFC is bringing its #1 ranked big man to France for a homecoming. On September 3rd Ciryl Gane will meet hard-hitting Tai Tuivasa, in a battle of top-ranked UFC heavyweights. Tuivasa is on a nasty five-fight win streak. He's looking to knock out a man who has never been knocked out before. Gane suffered his first career loss to the current champion Ngannou in his last outing. This bout will be the main event of UFC Paris, the first time UFC has done an event in France since it became legal in 2020.

Tuivasa is actually the bigger man going into this fight, meaning he weighs more. He will be giving up 3 inches in height to the 6'5 inch Gane, as well as a sizable reach advantage. Gane is must faster and has the ability to outclass most big men he faces. Tuivasa might be looking to make it a short night he is on a great streak right now and wants to continue that.

Who are you favoring going into this matchup, Cyril Gane vs Tai Tuivasa?

Gane should win just by controlling the distance and having the better all around skills.


I hope Tua wins though because it means that it would be more exciting.

Nice comeback fight for Gane.
Nice test for Tuivasa to see how he can hang with the division’s top tier.

I expect france to surrender when the first plane of fighters shows up
