Alex Poatan is about to compete in another major fight in his combat sports career. At UFC Casa Branca , an event taking place on June 14th in Washington (USA), the Brazilian will face Ciryl Gane in the second most important fight of the night and dreams of winning the interim heavyweight title (up to 120,2 kg), which would be his third in a different weight class. Aware of the importance of the fight, the athlete did his homework and studied the Frenchman.
In an interview with the YouTube channel 'UFC on Paramount+', Poatan, as always short and to the point, pointed out Gane's most dangerous weapon for the highly anticipated fight. Furthermore, the former middleweight (up to 83,9 kg) and light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) champion surprised with his analysis, as he didn't highlight the Frenchman's constant and light movement for a heavyweight.
