UFC 310 is set to deliver a night of unforgettable action as the promotion's final PPV event of 2024. The headline clash is a highly anticipated flyweight title fight between reigning champion Alexandre Pantoja and the UFC debutant, Kai Asakura, ready to make his mark.
Before the fireworks in the main event, former interim UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane takes on ex-Bellator champ Alexander Volkov in a high-stakes showdown that could shape the future of the heavyweight division.
Ciryl Gane, the No. 2 ranked UFC heavyweight, is a force to be reckoned with. The 34-year-old French powerhouse has only been bested in UFC title fights - first by Francis Ngannou in 2022 for the undisputed title and then by Jon Jones in 2023 for the vacant belt.
However, Gane's career boasts a monumental achievement - capturing the interim heavyweight title in 2021 with a devastating knockout of Derrick Lewis. Most recently, Gane displayed his power once again, TKO’ing Serghei Spivac in September 2023.
Veteran powerhouse Alexander Volkov, ranked No. 3 in the UFC heavyweight division, is a seasoned force with a point to prove. At 36, the Russian has been with the UFC since 2016 but has yet to taste gold. Volkov is currently on a scorching four-fight win streak, with his latest triumph being a dominant decision over interim title contender Sergei Pavlovich in June 2024.
With his eyes firmly set on a title shot, Volkov is ready to make his mark and prove he's a contender to be feared.
Volkov is undeniably skilled, but he hasn’t evolved in ways that suggest he can overcome Gane in 2024. The Frenchman’s agility, athleticism, and unmatched speed give him the edge. Gane will outmaneuver Volkov, using his fluid movement and pinpoint accuracy to dominate and secure a decision victory.
