Ciryl Gane undisputed champion

Ciryl Gane's journey to the undisputed heavyweight title spanned years of near-misses and eventual success. He first captured the interim belt by stopping Derrick Lewis in August 2021. His bid for the full championship ended in January 2022 with a unanimous decision loss to Francis Ngannou. A second attempt failed in March 2023 when Jon Jones submitted him in the first round. The third try came in October 2025 against Tom Aspinall, resulting in a No Contest. After defeating Alex Pereira in June 2026 to reclaim the interim crown, the path finally cleared. In September 2026, he was promoted to undisputed champion after Tom Aspinall vacated the title due to eye issues.
