MMA: "I accomplished my mission", welcomes Ciryl Gane

After his great victory against Serghei Spivac during UFC Paris on Saturday at the Accor Arena, Ciryl Gane did not hide his satisfaction: “I accomplished my mission. I performed tonight to show the UFC that (the loss to Jones) was just a mistake and that I need to get back into a fight for the belt.” Despite two failures, he still aims to conquer the heavyweight belt. “It was not easy. A sporting defeat is never easy, especially the one I suffered. We don’t want ones like that, I would have preferred to give my opponent Jon Jones more adversity in March. Unfortunately, I went off the road. It’s not easy because people don’t miss you. But we are strong and everything that doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, as they say. Today we proved it. We had a vindictive mindset about our performance, we wanted to prove that we were still there. We worked hard and we did it. And I also had to glorify my image a little with my country and tell them that it was just a mistake. This evening we shared another magical moment.”
