By Michael Ferguson

Ciryl Gane’s sensational victory over Tanner Boser at UFC Paris was a testament to his incredible skill and ability as a mixed martial artist. The Frenchman has quickly made a name for himself in the heavyweight division, and many fans are now wondering where he stands in the UFC heavyweight rankings.

As of September 2021, Ciryl Gane is ranked #3 in the official UFC heavyweight rankings, behind only Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis. This is an impressive feat for a fighter who has only been competing professionally since 2018.

Gane’s performance against Boser showcased his striking prowess, as he landed 94 significant strikes to Boser’s 38. He also demonstrated his grappling abilities, successfully taking down Boser twice and controlling him on the ground.

With this dominant victory under his belt, it’s clear that Gane is a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division. But where does he go from here?

Many fans and analysts believe that Gane should face off against one of the top-ranked heavyweights next, such as Ngannou or Lewis. A win against either of these fighters would solidify Gane’s position as a top contender in the division and potentially earn him a shot at the title.

However, there are other contenders vying for their own shot at the championship belt. Stipe Miocic, former champion and current #2 ranked fighter, is coming off of a loss to Francis Ngannou but could still pose a threat to Gane.

In addition to Miocic, other rising stars such as Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Tom Aspinall are also making their case for a shot at the title. These fighters have been steadily climbing up the rankings with impressive performances of their own.

Regardless of who he faces next, it’s clear that Ciryl Gane is one of the most exciting fighters in the heavyweight division. His combination of striking and grappling skills, along with his impressive athleticism, make him a formidable opponent for anyone in the division.

As fans eagerly await Gane’s next fight, it’s clear that he has already made a significant impact on the sport of mixed martial arts. With his dominant performance at UFC Paris, Gane has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with in the UFC heavyweight rankings.
