Here is everything you need to know about UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Tuivasa before it goes down on ESPN+ :

On Saturday, heavyweights will clash in the UFC’s debut event in France. Ciryl Gane, a French native, will face fan favorite Tai Tuivasa in the main event from the Accor Arena, with a potential title shot on the line.

At UFC 270, Gane (10-1) fell one round short of dethroning UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. A critical tactical blunder in Round 5 may have cost him the world title. Gane, 32, has only been doing MMA for four years, but he has established a well-rounded game, as seen by an almost even split of KO, submission, and decision victories. Gane is an elusive fighter who has never been stopped on defense. A good performance against Tuivasa ensures that Gane’s name remains on the tip of everyone’s tongue when it comes to title talk.

“He’s incredibly dangerous, and everyone knows it,” Gane told reporters during the media day on Thursday. “And he demonstrated it. He’s on a roll right now. He defeated every opponent. He’s quite dangerous in his striking, so I have to concentrate…’ Bon Gamin’ style: footwork, distance management, touch and never be touched. That’s all.

“I’d like to use more volume than normal.” So I want to terminate the argument before it gets too late since we’ll both be exhausted, and I expect this kind of fight.”
