UFC Fight Night Gane vs Tuivasa fight card is set to take the stage on Saturday, September 3rd at 2:00 PM CDT from Accor Arena in Paris France. Catch all the action on ESPN+ when the prelims start at 11:00 AM CDT.

The main event in this one features two of the top 5 heavyweights when Ciryl Gane #1 takes on Tai Tuivasa #3 for what would be an apparent future title shot. Gane’s only loss came by way of decision in January of 2022 when he faced the champion, Francis Ngannou, at UFC 270.

The co-main event is in the middleweight division as Robert Whittaker #1 faces Marvin Vettori #3. Whittaker just went the distance with the division champion, Israel Adesanya in February, and Marvin Vettori did the same in June of 2021, though both challengers came up short with the judges. Either winner here could see a rematch where both fighters have the experience of a UFC title fight against the reigning champion.
