Joe Rogan, who reacted to the fight live, praised Gane for his slick movement and was thoroughly impressed by the technical prowess he displayed in the fight. Here's what the UFC color commentator said as he watched Gane outperform his rival at UFC Paris:

"My God, that's good. That is artistic, that is artistic! The way he stepped back and then landed that right hand, you couldn't draw that better. The positioning, the technique, God da*n, that was beautiful."

Joe Rogan on who fights Francis Ngannou for the title, suggests Jon Jones as the next obvious fight

A win for Ciryl Gane at UFC Paris opens the door for a potential rematch between 'Bon Gamin' and Francis Ngannou. However, Joe Rogan believes that the returning Jon Jones should be fighting for the title next.

In the aforementioned video, the UFC commentator weighed in on the current heavyweight landscape and suggested that Jones would be the ideal next challenger to Ngannou's throne:

"Who is Francis going to fight next? What is the obvious fight other than Jon Jones? Jon Jones is the obvious fight for the big money, right? That's the big fight. That's what everybody wants to see."

Francis Ngannou hasn't been in action since his first successful title defense against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 in January. The reigning champion picked up a close unanimous decision win over 'Bon Gamin' in the fight. However, Ngannou has been away from the competition as he underwent surgery to repair a damaged ACL and torn MCL.

During a conversation with TMZ Sports earlier this year, 'The Predator' stated that he could return by the end of this year or early 2023. There has been talk of a potential clash between Jones and Stipe Miocic, but 'Bones' could end up fighting Ngannou if the champion recovers in time from his injuries.
