Take the name Ciryl Gane, and chances are the first thoughts that might come to your mind would be his first-round loss via knockout against Jon Jones at UFC 285. Although winning and losing are part of any sport, fans can be cruel when it comes to siding with their favorites and pulling down those fighters who do not make it to their favorites list. Ciryl Gane recently found himself on the receiving end of such an act, for what many might argue, no fault of his.

Recently, a video of ‘Bon Gamin’ found its way online in which he can be seen showcasing his punches. He demonstrates his punishing power by striking a punching machine. Now, this would not be seen as something novel in the world of combat sports, but his detractors who saw the video couldn’t hold themselves back.

  • You’re a better striker than JBJ? Shame, he’s gonna outwrestle you. You’re a better wrestler? Shame, he’a gonna destroy you like he did with Shogun.
  • Just shows how good JBJ is. Doesn’t matter if you hit like a truck if you don’t connect.
  • That’s how jbj won. He closed the distance and choked him out before he could swing.
  • Bones ran through him too quickly for a shot like that to land lol
  • Doesn’t matter if your punch can break a wall. It’s useless if your opponent doesn’t give you the opportunity to land it.
  • You could have all the fighting style mastered, but getting into that cage with JJ completely neutralizes your skillset.

While some other fans maintained their neutrality and supported the Frenchman.

  • People can’t just have fun lol Like what did ciryl do for people to not like him lol
  • On the ground
  • Damn whats up with that hate in this thread, Yall act like ciryl is a pos or something.

Ciryl Gane vs Jon Jones and what lies ahead for Gane

Jon Jones’s spectacular return to the octagon at UFC 285, claiming the UFC heavyweight title with a remarkable performance, was a dream return for his fans. Jones fought against the French heavyweight Ciryl Gane to obtain the title. The fight against them lasted for a period of two minutes as Jones executed a guillotine choke to defeat the Frenchman. This win cemented Jones’s status as one of the sport’s greatest and set the stage for a highly anticipated showdown with Stipe Miocic, a two-time UFC heavyweight champion.
