Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa to clash for a potential shot at the heavyweight title at UFC Paris

Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa will headline the UFC Paris card this Saturday. This will be a crucial bout for the heavyweight division, with the winner potentially earning a crack at the heavyweight title.

'Bam Bam' will enter the bout on the back of a five-fight win streak. The Australian finished all of his last five opponents inside two rounds with his most recent win coming over Derrick Lewis via second-round knockout.

Ranked No. 3 in the division, Tuivasa will be eyeing another strong finish this Saturday to stake his claim for his first title shot.

Meanwhile, No.1-ranked Ciryl Gane, who was born and raised in France, will also be determined to produce a statement win in front of his home crowd.

'Bon Gamin' will look to bounce back from his loss to reigning champion Francis Ngannou, which is his sole career loss. A strong performance from Gane could instantly insert him back into the title picture. It will be a tough challenge for both fighters.

Both men will aim for a convincing victory this Saturday for a potential shot at the heavyweight crown. The fight is expected to be highly competitive and promises to be nothing short of fireworks.
