What’s subsequent for Ciryl Gane and Serghei Spivac after UFC Paris?

In the principle occasion of UFC Paris, a heavyweight bout headlined the cardboard as Ciryl Gane took on Serghei Spivac.

Gane entered the combat coming off a first-round submission loss to Jon Jones again in March for the vacant heavyweight title. Previous to that, he scored a KO win over Tai Tuivasa to return to the win column after shedding a choice to Francis Ngannou for the heavyweight belt. Spivac, in the meantime, was using a three-fight win streak and was coming off a first-round submission over Derrick Lewis.

Finally, it was Gane who won by second-round TKO as he dominated the scrap on the toes. The Frenchman saved the combat standing and pieced up Spivac to the physique and head earlier than the ref stopped it. Now, following UFC Paris, right here’s what I feel needs to be subsequent for each fighters.

Ciryl Gane

Ciryl Gane returned to the win column in a giant means on Saturday night time in Paris, France. Gane entered the combat with numerous doubters following the loss to Jones, and he helped silence some by dominating Spivac and exhibiting off some good takedown protection.

With the win, Gane is again within the title image, however he did say he was in no rush to combat for the belt once more so quickly. There’s a chance that each Jones and Stipe Miocic retire after their combat in November, and if that occurs, it’s seemingly Tom Aspinall will face Sergei Pavlovich for the vacant belt. If that does occur, Gane is in a bizarre spot the place he has fought a lot of the prime heavyweights, however dealing with the winner of Curtis Blaydes vs. Jailton Almeida is smart.

Serghei Spivac

Serghei Spivac was seeking to show he belongs as a legit heavyweight contender at UFC Paris however that didn’t come to fruition. As an alternative, Spivac couldn’t get the combat to the mat, and had no solutions for Gane’s placing and finally suffered a TKO loss.

With the loss, Spivac is again to the drawing board however nonetheless stays a top-10 heavyweight. A logical subsequent combat is to face the loser of Tai Tuivasa vs. Alexander Volkov which takes place at UFC 293 this Saturday. Spivac beat Tuivasa again in 2019 and misplaced by submission, so sufficient time has handed for a possible rematch, whereas the Volkov combat could be a contemporary matchup.
