Pereira vs Gane

History's Greatest Striker vs. The Natural Heavyweight

Alex Pereira is chasing the impossible — a third UFC title in a third weight class, making his debut at 110kg outdoors in 90-degree heat. Ciryl Gane has never been stopped by strikes in 16 professional fights, throws volume like a welterweight with the frame of a heavyweight, and brought the man who beat Pereira in their second kickboxing meeting to camp. This is an honest coin-flip. The lean is subtle.
