5 Fights To Make After UFC 247
5. Justin Tafa Vs. Ciryl Gane
With mixed martial arts finally becoming legal in France this year, the UFC will be hoping to bring a card there as soon as possible. They'll obviously have a number of French fighters competing too, with the most impressive one being highly-touted heavyweight, Ciryl Gane.
Gane's Muay Thai background makes him an interesting prospect, but he's far from just a striker. Ever since making his mixed martial arts debut back in 2018, the Frenchman has shown that he's got some underrated ground skills too. The fact that he's comfortable with grappling and actively looks for submissions is definitely a positive sign for him and his coaches.
He has a tough match-up against Shamil Abdurakhimov at UFC 249 next, but whether he wins or or loses their scrap, he should take on Justin Tafa fterwards. If you're looking for a fan-friendly fight that pretty much guarantees a violent ending, then putting these two individuals in the Octagon with each other is a no-brainer.
