UFC LIVE: Star Aussie duo headline historic card as Whittaker hits back at rival's reality check.

I think the way that second fight with Adesanya went is hard evidence that I’m proving, so I think that I’m getting better. “I think there are hard facts that prove I am improving. Of course, when exactly they walk out will depend on the earlier fights. “I keep improving, I’m more hungry. I’m on my way up, I don’t believe he is. “I mean, anything is possible. “But if I dink him, I sink him. If I dink them, I sink them. “I think he’s underestimating how good I am, how fast I am, how hard I hit, and I think that will come out on Saturday [local time].” “We all know he’s a great athlete. He’s really fast and all this. If I hit you flush, then – don’t worry about the cardio, don’t worry about none of that.

UFC makes its debut in France on a night that may cement Gane or Tuivasa as the next heavyweight title challenger.

He's one of the best of the best. But things get started with a pair of veterans in the featherweight division when Charles Jourdain and Nathaniel Wood battle it out. That is a tall order for Tuivasa -- a high-level brawler who gives better than he gets but do not let three consecutive Fight of the Night honors fool you. Tai Tuivasa: Gane is a major favorite coming into the fight on the strength of his well-rounded game. Robert Whittaker is set to take on Marvin Vettori as the pair battle to remain relevant in the division thin on rivals to champion Israel Adesanya. I've fought a couple of champions now, and he's up there with the best for sure. His gift for drinking beers out of strangers' shoes, affectionally labelled a "shoey," has endeared him to the masses. Plus, Alessio Di Chirico and Roman Kopylov are set for another middleweight contest on the main card. A strong performance against Tuivasa assures that Gane's name remains on the tip of tongues in title conversations. The gimmick sometimes overshadows Tuivasa's natural charisma and a nasty habit of knocking out opponents. Tuivasa has knocked out all but one of his 14 victims in under seven minutes. Gane, 32, is only four years into his mixed martial arts journey but has developed a well-rounded game as evidenced by a nearly even split of KO, submission and decision wins.

Gane, who fights Tai Tuivasa at UFC Paris this Saturday night, played down the viral moment in which Arianny Celeste scoped him out whilst on the scale.

Against Tai it’s possible to do the same, but it’s not easy as the fight stays dangerous. It is the promotion's first-ever event in France following a decade-long push to legalise MMA in the country. "That's why it makes the video a little bit funny, because when you look at it you think I look at the girl and she looks at me, but no. It's not the first time Celeste has gone viral for scoping out a fighter during a weigh-in. “Every time I win my fights, it looks easy but it’s not easy," . The exchange went viral on social media, receiving millions of views on YouTube.

Ciryl Gane overcame a second-round knockdown and rallied to finish Tai Tuivasa in Round 3 on Saturday in the UFC's first card in France.

Gane landed several hard jabs, a body kick and then a head kick. Gane was clearly hurt, and Tuivasa went in for the finish, but Gane survived. Then, a head kick near the end of the round. Gane landed a knee to the body, a jab and a step-in knee to the gut. That strategy was working well until Tuivasa caught Gane with a right hook in the second round, dropping him to the canvas. Tuivasa dropped Gane in the second round.
