Ciryl Gane believes he will be fully prepared for Tom Aspinall when they collide<\/a> at UFC 321.<\/p>\n

\"Ciryl<\/p>\n

Gane is a former interim UFC Heavyweight Champion, but he hasn\u2019t held the undisputed gold yet. He will have a third chance to do so when he meets Aspinall on Oct. 25 in Abu Dhabi. Aspinall is a sizable betting favorite going into the title fight, but Gane thinks the work he\u2019s put in behind the scenes will pay off.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters during a press conference in Paris, \u201cBon Gamin\u201d had high praise for his team (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes life is a little bit strange because some bad results and then people think that you\u2019ve never worked on your ground game, on your grappling,\u201d Gane said. \u201cBut believe me, as someone who\u2019s come from Thai boxing as well, I\u2019ve got a team behind me. My coach Fernand Lopez, we\u2019ve worked on our ground game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are experts. We know exactly what we\u2019re doing. Sometimes I\u2019ve not been able to show it and that\u2019s on me, but this time, believe me, I\u2019ve been working, and hopefully I can show it this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gane\u2019s last bout was a highly debated split decision<\/a> over Alexander Volkov. Many experts felt that Volkov did enough in the fight to secure a win. Even UFC CEO Dana White approached Volkov after the score totals were read and said he\u2019ll \u201cmake things right.\u201d Volkov will meet Jailton Almeida in a potential title eliminator at UFC 321.<\/p>\n

Aspinall hasn\u2019t been defeated since suffering a knee injury against Curtis Blaydes back in 2022. He eventually avenged that loss by starching Blaydes in one minute. Aspinall has developed the reputation of being a knockout artist, but Gane hasn\u2019t been stopped via strikes in his pro MMA career up to this point.<\/p>\n
