USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, June 29: Ciryl Gane continues meteoric rise

Ciryl Gane continued his incredible rise up the UFC’s heavyweight division and will soon find himself fighting for a title.

In his latest performance, Gane (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) outpointed vaunted striker Alexander Volkov (33-9 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 190, keeping his professional record unblemished. The result proved incredibly important for the 31-year-old Frenchman, who was subsequently granted a surprising interim title fight against Derrick Lewis.

Gane also moved up in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie heavyweight rankings, settling in at No. 4.

Gane wasn’t the only fighter to make a move in the latest update. With Bellator and the PFL also in action this past weekend, check out the new look across all divisions using the dropdown menu above.
