In a controversial result, the Frenchman won by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The fighter himself was not satisfied with his performance and left the octagon without giving an interview. He later regretted it and returned, saying that he fractured one of his toes in the first round.

With the victory, Gane now has a record of 13 wins and two losses, one of them against the current champion Jon Jones. The triumph over the Russian could put him back in a possible fight for the heavyweight belt (up to 120,2 kg).

Yes, Alexander Volkov lost the second time to Gane and now has 38 wins and 11 losses. His four-game winning streak was broken and he will now have to wait longer for a possible title fight.

Giants in action

The two giants started the fight intensely. Volkov was the first to attempt a takedown against Gane, who retaliated a few seconds later. Without definition on the ground, they returned to exchanging blows standing up, but Gane managed to take the fight to the ground again. However, the first round ended before the Frenchman landed a submission.

In the second round, Volkov came back looking for a knockout and landed a beautiful spinning punch on Gane, who resisted. The two began to conserve energy by moving less. The Russian even managed to land a few blows, but they weren't enough to knock down the Frenchman, who continued to insist on taking him down.

The third round was a close fight. The Frenchman showed more confidence and gave the Russian a hard time on the ground. But Volkov managed to stay on top for most of the round and landed several punches to Gane's face, but he was unable to finish. Even so, the Frenchman managed to win by split decision and some boos at the T-Mobile Arena.
