Fernand Lopez, Ciryl Gane's trainer, paid tribute to Russian heavyweight Alexander Volkov.
"You people from Russia should be proud of Alexander Volkov, because this is the only fight Ciryl has had after which his entire face was bruised. In his other six UFC fights out of nine in MMA, he never got hit in the face... Because there's no way you can get within proper distance of Volkov without missing punches. Because he's very big, very skillful, with excellent boxing, very uncomfortable for guys like Ciryl..." Lopez said.
