In a heavyweight bout with title implications and the potential for ultraviolence, Ciryl Gane squares off against heavy-hitter Tai Tuivasa in the main event of UFC Paris on Saturday night. Read on for our Gane-Tuivasa picks and predictions.
A legitimate title contender with only 11 pro fights under his belt, Gane fell just short in his championship quest in January, dropping a decision to division kingpin Francis Ngannou.
Following a three-fight losing streak that placed his spot on the UFC roster in jeopardy, Tuivasa has violently rattled off five straight KO/TKO victories, with three of those coming in the opening round.
With title relevancy on the line, here are my top picks for the UFC Fight Night main event between Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
