In the main event, former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane looks to rebound from a disappointing submission loss to Jon Jones when he fights fast-rising contender Serghei Spivac. Gane has twice challenged for the UFC’s undisputed belt, while Spivac seeks his first title opportunity after finishing his past three opponents.The co-main event carries its fair share of intrigue, as France’s Manon Fiorot seeks the biggest win of her career when she fights two-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. Fiorot can go 6-0 in the UFC with a win on Saturday, while Namajunas competes at 125 pounds for the first time in her career. Whoever emerges victorious could be next to challenge for flyweight gold.

How To Watch UFC Paris: Fight Time, TV Channel And Full Card
The card’s main event will see top heavyweights Ciryl Gane and Sergey Spivak try to move closer towards title contention in a pivotal bout for the division. “Bon Gamin” is a former interim titleholder but is coming off his second failed bid to become undisputed champion when he was submitted by Jon Jones at UFC 285, while Spivak enters the night on a three-fight win streak where he’s finished every opponent.
The co-main event features two-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas making her flyweight debut opposite #3-ranked Manon Fiorot. Namajunas’ last fight saw her lose the strawweight title via lackluster decision against Carla Esparza, and “Thug Rose” will try to erase the memory of that bout when she takes on a fighter that’s unbeaten since joining the UFC.

Prediction
I’ve been a big believer in Gane and it’s clouded my judgment before, but he’s one major improvement away from being an absolute nightmare. Gane possesses fantastic footwork, movement, technical striking and a Muay Thai background that makes him dangerous at every range. If he can round out his offensive and defensive wrestling, he could be a world-beater. It’s in Gane’s best interest to keep the fight at range. If Spivac ties him up, Gane might consider using his Muay Thai background to land an elbow or two before breaking free. The more Gane can fend off his foe, the more desperate or timid Spivac will become. It’s also worth noting that two of Spivac’s three career losses come via first-round knockout. Gane via KO2
