UFC Fight Night Gane vs. Tuivasa picks and odds

Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa are going head-to-head at UFC Fight Night from the Accor Arena in Paris this Saturday.

The winner of this bout is likely to face Curtis Blaydes down the line. Gane is coming off a title defeat to Ngannou. Tuivasa has five straight knockout victories en route to his No. 3 ranking.

Gane is the home favorite. He has gone over 2.5 rounds in all four of his last fights.

Gane is the more agile and developed striker. He will use that to his advantage against Tuivasa. Tuiva is coming off five straight victories, all of which ended in under 2.5 rounds. This will be his first five-round fight in the UFC. His last two knockout victories both took place in second round.

Tuivasa is on a heater and he's won 13 of his 14 fights in the first two rounds. He's a good bet to win early. There's an opportunity for a double-cash if he can sleep Gane after the 12:50 minute mark or win by decision.
