UFC Paris headliner Tai Tuivasa: Ciryl Gane elusive, but ‘if I dink him, I sink him’

PARIS – Tai Tuivasa is confident if he touches Ciryl Gane’s chin, he’ll go down.

Tuivasa (15-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) faces Gane (10-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 209 main event at Accor Arena in Paris. The card streams on ESPN+.
