Watch Ciryl Gane score the latest heavyweight submission ever at UFC on ESPN+ 20

Not just a striker, Ciryl Gane now has more submissions than knockouts on his resume.

Gane (5-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), a kickboxer, notched another one Saturday in ever so impressive fashion, tapping out Don’Tale Mayes at UFC on ESPN+ 20 via heel hook with only 14 seconds left in the fight, the latest submission win in UFC heavyweight history.

Check it out here (via Twitter):

Training out of MMA Factory in Paris, alongside heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou, Gane has aspirations of headlining a show in his home country of France. And with the sport getting legalized effective January 2020, he could see that come to fruition.

Either way, we’ve got a new heavyweight contender on the block.
