Ciryl Gane open to interim title after UFC Fight Night 209, explains why Francis Ngannou rematch would be different

PARIS – Anyone, anywhere.

That’s long been the answer from Ciryl Gane when asked about future matchups. However, after his UFC Fight Night 209 TKO victory over Tai Tuivasa, things are a tad different. There’s a stipulation. Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is set on gold.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen exactly,” Gane told reporters including MMA Junkie at the post-fight news conference. “I think nobody is knowing what’s going to happen. They had a big turnover in this division at this moment. I don’t know if there’s going to be an interim title. I don’t know when he is going to come back if he stays in the division, Francis. I don’t know when he wants to fight (or is) able to fight. I don’t know exactly, but no matter who. I say every time, anyone-anywhere. But now I’m looking for the belt, yeah.”
