If you are a fan of UFC fighters, you should be aware that Ciryl Gane is planning to invite French soccer star Kylian Mbapp and his teammates to UFC 285 in Paris on May 2. While this may not be as good as getting a UFC superstar like Jon Jones to fight in France, the idea of inviting a star from the soccer world to a fight is still a great one.
Jon Jones vs Ciryl Gane fight card in France
Jones and Gane are going to square off on March 4 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This fight will take place at TMobile Arena and will air on ESPN+.
Until now, it’s unclear what will be the outcome of the fight. The two heavyweights haven’t fought since February 2020. Earlier this year, Jones announced he was going to bulk up and campaign in the heavyweight division. He’s expected to win a unanimous decision against Gane.
Both Jones and Gane have an impressive professional MMA record. They are both ranked in the top five of their respective divisions. Jon Jones has a 26-1-0-1 record.

As for the UFC, Gane is not only scheduled to compete in the UFC Paris main event in September, but is also set to face Tai Tuivasa at the Accor Arena in Paris. This bout will likely be Gane’s first fight in the French capital, a city that has never really seen the inside of an octagon before. Hopefully he can use his height advantage to his advantage.
On a more technical note, Gane has also been credited with bringing a lot of innovation to the table. He has been listed as a “keep an eye on” in the heavyweight division for the past couple of years. He has won seven straight fights since his UFC debut in 2019, and he will look to continue that trend against Tai Tuivasa.
