"Too slow for Tom" - MMA fans erupt as Ciryl Gane teases potential title fight 

UFC heavyweight Ciryl Gane has suggested that a potential title bout against Tom Aspinall for the undisputed championship could be on the horizon.

Gane has previously competed for the title on two separate occasions, first against Francis Ngannou and the second against Jon Jones; however, he came out on the losing end in both of these bouts. The Frenchman has now set his sights on a potential third crack at UFC gold.

During a recent interview with the UFC, 'Bon Gamin' revealed that his manager, Feno Lopez, has been in contact with matchmaker, Hunter Campbell, regarding a potential bout between Gane and Aspinall. Gane is currently sitting at the No.1-ranked spot in the official heavyweight rankings of the UFC and could be next in line to challenge for the belt.

Gane recently shared a post on Instagram, teasing that his upcoming fight is in the works. He wrote:
