MMA News Roundup: Cyril Gane Falls Prey to Robbery; Conor McGregor Showers Praises on Brian McIntyre After Terrence Crawford and Chris Eubank Jr.; Merab Dvalishvili Hits Back at Dana White

The world of MMA (especially that of UFC), is a happening one. There is always something or the other going on and the fans who never miss a beat, know exactly what has transpired in the last few days. However, if you are a ‘die-hard’ fan of the game but missed the last few developments in the game, don’t worry – we got you covered.

In this edition of our MMA Roundup, we shall dive headfirst into some events that transpired outside the UFC Octagon. First, we shall take a look at Ciryl Gane‘s house getting robbed as he robbed Sergey Spivak of a victory at UFC Paris. Then, we shall move on to former UFC Lightweight champ Conor McGregor giving a shout-out to one of the most successful coaches, Brian McIntyre. Finally, we shall talk about Merab Dvalishvili finally answering Dana White.

Money made but money lost – Ciryl Gane wins and loses big

Ciryl Gane certainly won back some of his pride at UFC Paris. After suffering a harrowing defeat at the hands of Jon Jones, people were skeptical about Gane picking up the win against Spivak. However, he showed complete domination and it was evident that he had worked on himself since his ‘first real loss’.

Not only did Gane win that night, but walked away with a fight night bonus of $50,000. According to sources, his total earnings from UFC Paris would be somewhere around $620,000. But the night didn’t end well for ‘Bon Gamin’. Official reports suggest that while Gane was busy taking down Sergey and winning back, his house in Paris was robbed. The robbers made off with roughly $162,045 worth of belongings.

People suspect that the people who robbed his house could have been watching his house since before. In fact, some people suspect that it could have been someone inside Gane’s camp who dropped a tip.

Conor McGregor gives Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre a shout-out

Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, who is the coach of Chris Eubank Jr. and Terence Crawford, recently got a shout-out from former UFC Lightweight champion Conor McGregor. The coach is currently being hailed as one of the best modern-day coaches in the world, especially after Terence Crawford and Chris Eubank Jr., collectively made $25.5 million from their last fights. Eubank Jr. won his fight against Liam Smith and Crawford won his bout against Errol Spence Jr.

Now, Conor McGregor has showered the coach with blessings and praises – and a shout-out. Recently, Sky Sports Boxing shared a picture of the proud coach with his starfighters. McGregor shared this picture and added a caption of his own, that read: “BoMac knows! @ForgedStout”. In that picture, McIntyre was seen wearing a cap of McGregor’s own brand, Forged Irish Stout.

McGregor, who is supposed to return to the UFC this year to fight Michael Chandler, is also a successful businessman now. Naturally, seeing McIntyre wearing a cap with the branding of his company – he just had to go out and promote it.

Merab Dvalishvili claps back at Dana White after he warned him and Aljamain Sterling

Although the friendship between Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili is heartwarming, it is not going down well with UFC President Dana White. Dvalishvili and Sterling have previously said that they do not want to fight each other. Now that Sean O’Malley is the Bantamweight champ, people are wondering if Merab Dvalishvili is next in line for a title shot.

However, Dvalishvili has said that he wants Sterling to get a title shot immediately. In case he doesn’t, then Dvalisvhili should be the one to get that title shot, without any question. Dana White recently voiced his discontent with the friendship between the two and has said that this would not end well for either of the fighters.

Dvalishvili, who is not ready to fight his friend, recently took to X (formerly Twitter), to declare that if Sterling didn’t get the title shot, then he should be next in line.
