DANA WHITE ON CIRYL GANE’S UFC FIGHT NIGHT 186 PERFORMANCE: “HE WON, BUT LET’S LEAVE IT AT THAT”

Cyril Gane scored a unanimous decision win over Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the main event of UFC Fight Night 186. 

One person who wasn’t impressed with Gane’s performance was UFC President Dana White.

“Everybody’s talking about Ciryl being this big contender, but look at what Francis Ngannou did to Jairzinho,” White wrote to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports (via MMA Junkie). “This was his coming out party and his chance to show the world who he is. He won, but let’s leave it at that. He won.”

Gane is now 8-0-0 as a professional MMA fighter and his win over Rozenstruik was just the second fight of his to go the distance.

A victorious Gane got word of what White said during the post-fight press conference, but he didn’t seem too concerned with White’s criticism.

“I can understand that,” Gane said. “He is the boss, and he wants to make money, so you want the guy marketable. The people want the show. They want the big KO. So yes, I don’t finish the fight. I tried, but I don’t do it. I can understand that (criticism), but I’m OK.”
