Ciryl Gane has admitted to being "lazy" by not training before his UFC title fight against Jon Jones was announced.
Gane, 32, competes against UFC legend Jones for the vacant heavyweight title in two weeks. 'Bon Gamin' is a former interim champion who lost out on the chance to win the undisputed title last January at the hands of former undisputed titleholder Francis Ngannou, who recently parted ways with the UFC and vacated his title.
In a shocking admission, Gane revealed that he wasn't training for several months after knocking out Tai Tuivasa in Paris last September to set up a title fight with Jones, which was made official last month. "I only train when a fight is announced. I had my fight against Tuivasa, barely trained since then, and now I’m back it since the Jones fight has been announced," Gane told La Sueur.
