Gane regains UFC heavyweight championship at the White House

Since then, the 36 year old from La Roche-sur-Yon, France, lost two contests to a pair of legends.

He was defeated by Francis Ngannou in January 2022 and Jon Jones in March 2023. After capturing the interim UFC heavyweight title for a second time on Sunday by taking down former two-division UFC titleholder Alex Pereira from Brazil in the co-main event at UFC Freedom 250 on the White House South Lawn in Washington, Gane will again have the opportunity to fight for the title.
