Ciryl Gane now finds himself in position to at least knock on the door to title contention in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s heavyweight division.

As one of only 22 undefeated fighters on the roster with at least one win inside the Octagon, Gane will put his perfect 8-0 record on the line when he meets former Bellator MMA and M-1 Global champion Alexander Volkov in the UFC Fight Night 190 main event on June 26 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. His rise nothing short of meteoric, the 31-year-old Frenchman has delivered six of his eight professional victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission. “Bon Gamin” last appeared at UFC Fight Night 186, where he took a five-round unanimous decision from Jairzinho Rozenstruik on Feb. 21.
