Ciryl Gane is getting ready to face one of the most decorated strikers in UFC history.
Alex Pereira is set to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, and he could become the first fighter to win titles across three divisions.
Most people think ‘Bon Gamin’ will need to take the fight to ‘Poatan’ on the feet, given that both men like to stay upright and exchange.
Donovan Wisse never faced Pereira, but as a champion in his own right with a similar fighting style, he’s got an interesting perspective on how this fight might unfold.

While Pereira’s focus has been on settling into the heavyweight division, Ciryl Gane has already started training with some of the top strikers in the sport.
Gane was recently seen working with GLORY heavyweight champion Mory Kromah, a dangerous figure in a promotion where ‘Poatan’ once held two titles at the same time.
Speaking to Bloody Elbow, GLORY middleweight champion Donovan Wisse said he expects Pereira to try and take away Gane’s movement early by pressing forward and applying pressure.
Wisse responded to this by pointing out recent footage from Gane’s camp and stressed how valuable it is for him to be sparring with elite-level kickboxers ahead of such a big fight.
“It’s a big step because Ciryl Gane is not an easy fight for the title,” Wisse said. “He moves a lot, he’s a good kickboxer… I think it’s going to be a great fight because I think Alex is going to lock him up against the cage and then explode but we’ll see how Ciryl Gane is going to move because he’s sparring now with Mory Kromah and a lot of kickboxers right now so it’s going to be an exciting matchup.”
Ciryl Gane is reportedly preparing by focusing on striking exchanges, as both fighters prefer to stay upright during fights.

Pereira ended his time in kickboxing after back-to-back light heavyweight bouts in 2021. Since then, Donovan Wisse has taken over as GLORY middleweight champion following the Brazilian’s departure from that division.
As part of his current training camp, Gane has been working alongside Artem Vakhitov, who split two fights with Pereira during those final months of his career in that sport.
