Ciryl Gane made a triumphant return to his home city of Paris for his first fight since losing to current heavyweight champ, Jon Jones. In a battle that saw Gane taking barely breaking a sweat, he completely dominated his opponent, Serghei Spivac, from the opening seconds of the UFC Paris main event which took place at Accor Arena. Billed as a classic striker vs. grappler contest, Gane was successful in thwarting an overwhelmed Spivac which resulted in a second-round finish by the former interim heavyweight champion, to the elation of the audience.
Their reactions to the heavyweight main event were only matched by the other bouts of the night, which were equally noteworthy and memorable. Among these thrilling encounters was the victory by former light heavyweight champion, Volkan Oezdemir, which accounted for his first UFC submission win. Additionally, the strange conclusion to the match between William Gomis and Yanis Ghemmori added an unpredictable dynamic to the proceedings, stirring dialogue amongst the spectators.
The public’s comments weren’t confined to the fighters’ performances of the night. Several tweets highlighted the uniqueness of the audience. One tweet by Terrance McKinney noted, “French crowds sing in unison for their countrymen. American crowds yell twist their dick.” Another by Belal Muhammad read, “Ok this little ugly gremlin sucks now I. Know why he was tryin to get attention by talking.” Lastly, Billy Quarantillo chimed in with, “Guy in the green was more exciting at the weigh-In than this fight.” Clearly, the event stirred a lot of interest and different reactions from both the fans and the fighters.
