Ciryl Gane stopped Derrick Lewis in round 3 to become the interim UFC heavyweight champion. ‘Bon Gamin’ completely outclassed ‘The Black Beast’. He kept moving in and out of range and landed some chopping leg kicks on his opponent. Those kicks proved to be decisive as they severely compromised Lewis. It was yet another clinic from the undefeated French heavyweight.

Now, ‘Bon Gamin’, who already has some finishes over a few of the top heavyweights in the history of the UFC, is expected to fight Francis Ngannou next in a unification bout.

UFC fans and fighters kept a close eye on how things unfolded in the main event of the pay-per-view. With Lewis having the chance to become a UFC champion in front of his hometown, the anticipation was high. However, he was clearly no match for Gane. Pros reacted to the fight on Twitter.

Needless to mention, almost everyone was in awe of Gane’s flawless performance. Many predicted he is going to rule the heavyweight division of the UFC for years to come.

Welterweight contender, Belal Muhammad came up with an idea of a fatal 4-way match between Francis Ngannou, Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic, and Gane for the heavyweight belt.

The famous boxing trainer, Teddy Atlas, found similarities in style between Lewis and Deontay Wilder. Atlas believes both fighters are one-dimensional and depend on haymakers to get the better of their opponents.

Chael Sonnen called Gane a one-in-a-million talent. Another middleweight, Derek Brunson, found similarities between Gane with Stephen Thompson.
