8:15 Alex Pereira vs Ciryl Gane

Ilia Topuria is probably the biggest star in the UFC right now. Huge both in the states and internationally, the two weight champion is looking for a fourth victim that will be in the UFC hall of fame. But Justin Gaethje is not one to count out. A veteran of many tough fights, Justin Gaethje has some things to make Ilia Topuria pause at UFC White House. While I do think Ilia Topuria is (rightfully) the favorite, don’t act surprised if Justin Gaethje manages to make this a dog fight as he always does.

Alex Pereira is also going for history: a third belt in the UFC. While this is only an interim belt, the fact that he’s in this position is incredible already. But Ciryl Gane is the exact type of matchup that could give Alex Pereira a hard time. Ciryl Gane is large, nimble, and smart as a fighter. Watching Artem Vakhitov and Magomed Ankalaev beat Alex Pereira shows us there are paths to victory against the most dangerous Brazilian to ever live. Will Ciryl Gane finally be able to get out of this funk and beat Alex Pereira?
