Ciryl Gane is undoubtedly one of the greatest strikers in the UFC heavyweight division. However, when it comes to wrestling, the Frenchman falls short of other strong heavyweights. Ever since he stepped foot in the world’s biggest MMA promotion, he has been able to earn great victories one after the other. This continued until Francis Ngannou and ‘Bon Gamin’ faced each other. He lost against ‘the Predator’ via decision due to his lack of wrestling skills. Similarly, when he faced one of the greatest heavyweights, Jon Jones, he was unable to stand against Jones’ wrestling skills. This paved the way for his pathetic loss against ‘Bones’ in just 2 minutes, and 4 seconds into round one.

When Jones trapped him in a guillotine choke, he had no other choice but to tap. However, it is the second time Gane has lost in a title bout, as both his opponents knew that he knew no grappling techniques and used it against him. When Gane lost the very first time against Ngannou in 2022, the UFC legend, Khabib Nurmagomedov, offered to train the Frenchman in Dagestan. Gane didn’t give an official reply to Nurmagomedov back then. At the moment, Gane has posted some photos from his training session, which has provoked fans to advise him to take some training in wrestling.

"Like many, my journey into the beautiful game began by watching the mesmerizing Lionel Messi, as his impeccable vision on the pitch and role as a playmaker, meticulously calculating the path to goal always amazed me. This fascination with the finer details of soccer strategy naturally extended to my interest in content strategy. However, my zeal for being a soccer content analyst is not only because of Messi's magic, as I am a keen follower of the Becks as well. While in David Beckham, it was a special affinity for his mastery of crosses, passes, and set pieces, in Victoria Beckham, the fashion queen, I find inspiration in how she masterfully navigated the world of aesthetics and brand identity. This unique blend of admiration for both the tactical intricacies of soccer and the world of fashion and entertainment helps me to cover the game from angles that seamlessly balance sport and entertainment. Before joining EssentiallySports, I worked as a content analyst as well. A Master's degree in English and Comparative Literature from a premiere institute has helped me hone my writing skills and given me a unique perspective on the world of sports. Interestingly, besides soccer, I also extensively covered UFC, especially the Joe Rogan podcast. In my free time, I enjoy reading and keeping up with the latest developments in the world of sports.
