This fight will serve as the headliner for the first ever UFC event in Paris, and it seems fitting that Paris native Ciryl Gane welcomes one of the most devastating knockout artists of all time into the Octagon.
Tai Tuivasa is 1-1 as a UFC underdog and will need to pull off another upset this Saturday as a +400 underdog.
Cyril Gane has been a favourite in all his UFC bouts, having gone 7-1 in the UFC thus far. Title opportunity is on the line for both men in this matchup as they’ll be looking to earn a chance at gold.
Tai Tuivasa has grown up in the UFC as he signed in 2017 as a very new person to the sport of MMA as he had a background in street fighting. He came into the UFC firing on all cylinders as he quickly impressed by earning three victories in his first year for the promotion.
As he earned himself the Main Event slot against former champion Junior Dos Santos, he fell short, sparked a three-fight losing streak, and fell to his absolute lowest in the sport.
