The Frenchman was the interim champion at the time and was attempting to become the undisputed heavyweight champ for the first time. 'Bon Gamin' came up short against 'The Predator', losing via unanimous decision. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSpeaking exclusively to Sportskeeda MMA, Pedro gave his thoughts on the heavyweight clash:&quot;For me, everyone know's Tai's gameplan, he wants to knock you out. I feel like thats what he's gonna have to do, he'll have to pressure him [Ciryl Gane], put the pressure on, put his back to the cage, walk him down, because Gane is a skilled kickboxer and skilled standup. He's gonna have to turn it messy for him.&quot;Catch Tyson Pedro discussing Tai Tuivasa here:
