UFC free fight: Watch Ciryl Gane finish former heavyweight champ Junior Dos Santos at UFC 256

Ciryl Gane continues to make fighting in the octagon look like child’s play.

In his highest-profile fight to date, the unbeaten Frenchman faced former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos at UFC 256 in December 2020.

Always calm and collected, Gane was methodical in his approach, firing low kicks and jabs early. He mixed up shots to the body, too, as he kept Dos Santos on the back foot in Round 1.

In Round 2, Gane’s kicks started to take their toll on Dos Santos and the Frenchman hurt the former champion with a stinging jab. Gane then backed him up against the fence and dropped Dos Santos with a beautiful elbow. “Bon Gamin” then moved in and applied the finishing touches with ground strikes as the referee dived in to stop the fight.

Gane (7-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) returns to action when he faces Jairzinho Rozenstruik (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 186, which takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The event streams on ESPN+.
