Canadian luxury outerwear brand Nobis announced a new partnership with French mixed martial arts (MMA) champion, Cyril Gane. This partnership is driven by both the fighter's and brand's values of excellence and a state of mind of success.
Ciryl Romain Jacky Gane was born on April 12, 1990, in La Roche-sur-Yon, France. His early athletic endeavors included football and basketball. While working in sales in Paris, he was introduced to Muay Thai, where he began a professional career in June 2016. Gane secured the AFMT Muay Thai heavyweight title in his debut, winning by second-round knockout, and successfully defended this title. He expanded his record to 14 undefeated Muay Thai fights, with 9 victories by knockout, showcasing his striking abilities.
Gane transitioned to mixed martial arts professionally in 2018 under the coaching of Fernand Lopez. His early MMA career with TKO Major League MMA was marked by immediate success. He captured the vacant TKO Heavyweight Championship in his debut by submission in the first round and defended it twice, demonstrating proficiency in both striking and grappling. His dominant performances led to his signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2019.
His UFC debut in August 2019 resulted in a first-round submission victory. Gane quickly climbed the ranks, maintaining an undefeated record through his initial UFC bouts and earning “Performance of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” bonuses. A significant milestone occurred in August 2021 when he defeated Derrick Lewis by TKO to win the Interim UFC Heavyweight Championship. Though he later faced defeats in title unification bouts against Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones, Gane has remained a top contender in the heavyweight division, securing additional “Performance of the Night” awards and continuing to compete at the highest level, with a scheduled championship fight against Tom Aspinall in October 2025.
