Heavyweight contender Cyril Jean respectfully declined Khabib Nurmagomedov’s offer to help him develop his ground game after a less-than-stellar showing against Jon Jones earlier this year.
Arguably, Jin’s lack of wrestling skills cost him the chance to become UFC Champion on two separate occasions. After falling out against Francis Ngannou at UFC 270 last year, ‘Bon Gamin’ found himself with another chance to reach the top of the mountain in March, squaring off with Jon Jones for the vacant heavyweight crown. Fans have been expecting a highly competitive contest between two of the sport’s greatest forwards. Instead, they were treated to a quick two-minute match that saw Jones easily removed and Gane submitted.
The loss prompted one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of the game, Khabib Nurmagomedov, to reach out and offer Jan some help in honing his skills on the mat. However, Gene does not see himself venturing to Russia for months at a time, leaving his family behind in the process.
“That’s really kind of him,” Jen said, “but I have another job, which is being a dad.” Mirror fight. “I have two daughters, and it’s a big job. People underestimate this. It’s impossible for me to leave my family for six months. Some people talk about one year and stuff like that. If I go for two or three weeks, my family misses me so much. To bring some people home Gym, it is possible. Having these high-level players in judo, wrestling and boxing.”
Cyril Jane’s meteoric rise through the ranks
Making his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2018, Cyril Jain’s meteoric rise to the top of the ranks was largely due to his status as one of the most active fighters in the division. In four years, ‘Bon Gamin’ has already competed under the UFC banner an astonishing 10 times, and his 11th fight is scheduled before the end of the year.
“Just four years ago, no one knew me, and it was easy to fall asleep in the gym. Now it’s different. I’ve had a lot of petitions, so I have to manage this, too.” “Like anyone in this sport, when you have success, you have to prepare for life after your career. Just like Conor McGregor and Khabib did, they prepare for life after a fight. It makes sense because you can’t fight for 30 years. I was already in a hurry when I started MMA. We fought after fight, and that’s why my career went really fast too.”
Cyryl Gane will try to make a comeback in September when the promotion returns to Paris. Standing on his way back to the winning column would be streaking heavyweight Sergey Spivak. The Ukrainian “Polar Bear” got three straight knockouts against Greg Hardy, Augusto Sakai and Derrick Lewis.
