5 potential opponents for Ciryl Gane after his latest setback

#4. Ciryl Gane vs. Tom Aspinall

Aspinall is ranked No.10 with a record of 11-2

Ciryl Gane and Tom Aspinall are two of the best young heavyweights on the UFC roster. A fight between these two is a mouth-watering prospect but in order for that to happen, Aspinall will have to win his next fight. He is scheduled to face Alexander Volkov on March 19.

Should Aspinall win that one, he will establish himself as an elite heavyweight whilst likely remaining a win away from a title shot. That would make 'Bon Gamin' a perfect opponent as both men would then be on the edge of the title conversation.

This fight makes a ton of sense and would be fascinating to watch. While Volkov is a very tough opponent and should not be overlooked, if Aspinall is able to get the win there, Cyril Gane could very well be next.

#3. Ciryl Gane vs. Chris Daukaus

Daukaus is ranked No.7 with a record of 12-4

Chris Daukaus may not be a name that sends social media into a frenzy, but this matchup does seem like an appropriate bout for both men. Like the Frenchman, Daukaus' impressive winning streak came to an end in his last bout when he was knocked out by Derrick Lewis.

With both men tasting defeat in their most recent fights, booking them against each other ensures one of them gets back on track. Despite his loss, Daukaus remains the highest-ranked fighter on this list thus far and would provide Gane with the opportunity to get back in the win column against world-class opposition.

On top of that, it might allow 'Bon Gamin' to put on a more entertaining performance than he has in recent times. Three of the Frenchman's last four have gone to a decision so putting him in there with Daukaus, who has only been past the second round once in his career, would be a fun option.
