Francis Ngannou quickly admitted Ciryl Gane looked great at UFC Fight Night 209, but the UFC heavyweight champion said it’s difficult to be too impressed with someone he already beat.
In the first UFC event ever in his home country, France’s Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) defeated Tai Tuivasa (15-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) via third-round knockout in a wild barn burner. Ngannou (17-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC), who also has spent significant time living in France, was present cage-side for the chaotic main event contender fight.
