PARIS – The heavyweight headliners of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 226 got one final pre-fight look at one another Friday in the venue that hosts the fights.
At ceremonial weigh-ins at Accor Arena, former interim UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane went face-to-face with fellow behemoth Serghei Spivac. The two shared a respectful faceoff that was all business and concluded with a handshake.
France’s Gane (11-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) will have another home game as he looks to remain unbeaten on home turf while also bouncing back from a quick submission loss to Jon Jones at UFC 285 in March.
On the flip side, Spivac (16-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) aims to extend his winning streak to four. He enters the bout having recently strung together consecutive victories over Greg Hardy, Augusto Sakai, and Derrick Lewis.
Watch the faceoff between Gane and Spivac in the video above.
