UFC makes its return to Accor Arena in Paris France, and it will be headlined by two remarkable fights that will shake up their respective weight division.
Our full UFC Fight Night: Gane vs Spivac Tips & Preview can be found below.
Ciryl Gane vs Serghei Spivac
Tip: Gane KO/TKO @ $2.20
Coming off a loss earlier this year against the GOAT, Jon Jones in March this year.
The former heavyweight champion Ciryl “Bon Gamin” Gane returns to the octagon in front of his home fans in France, but it won’t be without a challenge.
He’s coming up against the “Polar Bear” Serghei Spivac.
The “Polar Bear” is currently on a three-fight win streak after defeating the fan favourite Derrick Lewis inside the first round.
However, the challenge this Sunday is a bigger fish than Lewis.
With 27 wins between the two animals, they have a combined 13 knockouts, nine submissions and 13 first round finishes.
With the “Polar Bear” having 10 of those first round finishes, that tells me one thing.
The earlier the fight finishes, the more likely it is that the Polar Bear will be the winner.
However, I believe Gane has the tank to get the job done.
Manon Fiorot vs Rose Namajunas
Tip: Manon Fiorot Points @ $2.40
The number 2 ranked flyweight in the world returns to the octagon for the first time since October 2022, and she’s going head-to-head with the well respected and dangerous, Rose Namajunas.
Namajunas is also coming back from a hiatus, having not fought since May of 2022 in her split decision loss to Carla Esparza.
Fiorot isn’t nicknamed “The Beast” for no reason, six of her ten professional wins have come by way of knockout.
But she’s never faced a fighter like the “Thug” Rose Namajunas.
I love the value for Manon Fiorot to defeat Rose Namajunas via points.
Benoît Saint-Denis vs Thiago Moises
Tip: Benoît Saint-Denis Submission @ TBC
Benoît Saint-Denis is making a return to the octagon after submitting Ismael Bonfim in the first round in July of this year.
The 27-year-old has won nine of his 11 fights via submission, he will be very tough to beat.
On the other hand, you have the talented Brazilian, Thiago Moises.
The 28-year-old has an impressive 17-6 record with three coming by way of knockout and seven by way of submission.
A bout that will be mostly on ground based on their previous encounters.
I expect this to be a one-sided affair and Benoît Saint-Denis will get his hand raised at the end of what will be a dominating performance.
