Ciryl Gane has revealed he earned close to a career-high €3million purse for his recent UFC win over Tai Tuivasa.
The French star headlined the promotion's inaugural event in Paris after MMA was legalised in France, where he took on the challenge of fellow contender Tuivasa. Gane put on a sensational display in a thrilling encounter where he recovered from a knockdown to finish his opponent on the ground after two thundering right hands sent his opponent sprawling to the canvas.
Gane had previously earned a guaranteed purse of $500,000 when he came up short in a title challenge against Francis Ngannou back in February. However the Frenchman has now revealed he earned a lucrative payday for the bout, which saw him fight on home soil for the first time.
