Explosive and epic return between two exceptional fighters!
After more than two years since their first clash in 2021, Cyril Gane and Alexander Volkov meet again in a crucial showdown at UFC 310. This time, everything is different, and the stakes are higher than ever. Will Gane prove his dominance again, or will Volkov take his revenge and overturn his opponent?
Are Cyril Gane’s punches “that powerful”? Volkov responds…
At the press conference before the fight, Alexander Volkov was asked about the power of Cyril Gane’s punches. Volkov’s response was not surprising as he said:
“The first fight ended by decision of the judges, so I think it wasn’t that powerful.”
But Gane doesn’t seem concerned by this comment. He confirmed that he has prepared well for the fight, and his goal is clear: to finish the fight before it goes to the judges. Gane commented during the media day:
“I haven’t seen any big changes in Volkov’s style. This time the fight will be in three rounds, and that will be completely different from the first time.”
While Volkov remains confident in his statements, Gane is determined to deliver a performance that will turn the odds.
Preparations and factors: Who’s stronger?
Cyril Gane: After a big win via TKO against Sergey Spivak at UFC Paris in 2023, Gane seems to have regained the momentum lost after a lengthy break. He is currently ranked second in the heavyweight division and aims to reclaim his spot as a contender for the title soon. Gane is known for his speed and physicality, but he seems focused on finishing the fight quickly.
Alexander Volkov: The Russian enters this fight on the back of an impressive win streak, including a victory over Sergey Pavlovich. Volkov has the advantage of height and conditioning and plans to exploit these physical advantages to take control of the fight.
Importance of the fight: A “semi-final” for the title?
The fight between Gane and Volkov is not just a fight for points or interim titles. For Gane, it’s a semi-final for the title. As he said:
“Jon Jones is the current champion, and Tom Aspinall holds the interim title. I believe this fight will largely determine who gets the closest chance for the title.”
If Gane wins this fight, he could be one step away from a title shot.
Big questions: Who will rise to the top?
- Will Cyril Gane be able to manipulate Volkov’s style like in their first fight? Or will the Russian be ready for revenge?
- How will the new fight format (only three rounds) affect the strategies of both fighters?
- Will we see a quick, decisive fight, or will it go to the judges’ decision?
The end: A big wager for UFC 310!
This is not just any fight; it’s a true test of strength and willpower for both Cyril Gane and Alexander Volkov. Victory here could bring one of them a step closer to a title opportunity, while defeat may mean a rethink of their future in the sport.
UFC 310 promises to be a pivotal night, full of excitement and creative fighting. Don’t miss this chance to witness one of the most intense showdowns in UFC history!
