French kickboxer, Ciryl Gane, will go to war with fellow knockout artist, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, this Saturday (Feb. 27, 2021) at UFC Vegas 20 inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It did not take long at all for Gane to stand out from the Heavyweight pack. Debuting inside the Octagon at just 3-0, Gane quickly demonstrated a mix of skill that seemed to imply a decade of experience. However, the Frenchman was actual a relative newcomer to mixed martial arts (MMA), and while it’s a bit early to whip out the term prodigy, “Bon Gamin” is definitely a fast learner. Rozenstruik, however, is his biggest test yet. “Bigi Boy” has many, many years of experience on his foe, and unlike Junior dos Santos, his best days are not behind him. Is it too much, too soon for the talented prospect?

Two heavyweights are about to fight, and both of them are good, skillful strikers.
Before we move ahead with the rest of this article, I’d like you to pause and reconsider that first sentence. Because when, I ask you, is the last time we were able to say that?
Sometimes, heavyweight MMA feels like a hackneyed vaudeville act. We all know, based on personal interactions, that a man’s size has little correlation with his aptitude or intelligence, and yet here they are, the heavyweights, ever ready to set beefy boys back a hundred years with a single clash of clumsy punches.
