UFC Fight Night 186 poster: Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ciryl Gane take center stage
A new heavyweight contender will emerge on Feb. 27.
Jairzinho Rozenstruik (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and Ciryl Gane (7-0 MMA, 4-0- UFC) will headline UFC Fight Night 186 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, in a showcase between two of the division’s brightest contenders.
After going 4-0 in the UFC with a knockout of former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos in December, France’s Gane will headline his first UFC event. Rozenstruik is also coming off a stoppage win over dos Santos, rebounding nicely after suffering his first career loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC 249 in May.
