It is quite simply the best series underway among the heavyweights, ahead of other figures in the discipline: Derrick Lewis, Francis Ngannou and Marcin Tybura (all four wins in a row).

"I want people to take me seriously"

Yet dominating thanks to his versatility, both on the ground and in his game of fists and feet, the former Muay Thai champion (1.98 m, 112 kg) did not appear satisfied.

"From the moment when I do not finish my fights before the end

(Editor's note: a KO offers 50,000 dollars, or 41,500 euros more to the winner)

Cyril Gane was also expecting stronger opposition.

“I was surprised by his wait-and-see attitude.

Normally, he touches you once or twice and it's over, you fall.

”An ease in a major fight which places the native of La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée) in a new dimension.

"I'm getting into the little papers now, I want people to take me seriously, to know I'm ready," he says.

If you want me to fight for the title, let's go.

I proved that I could do a 5 x 5 minutes without any problem, I could have started again for 5 rounds.
