For the second consecutive week, an Ultimate Fighting Championship main event ended early due to unfortunate circumstances. This time, Tom Aspinall was the victim of bad luck, as he suffered what appeared to be a knee injury just 15 seconds into his UFC Fight Night 208 heavyweight showdown with Curtis Blaydes at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday. That ends an eight-fight professional winning streak for Aspinall, who looked like one of the rising contenders in the division. Now, he could be facing a lengthy road to recovery.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday staged its historic first show on French soil at Accor Arena in Paris. UFC Fight Night 209 was headlined by France's own Ciryl Gane, who took on dangerous knockout artist and shoey enthusiast Tai Tuivasa in his first appearance since failing to capture the heavyweight crown against Francis Ngannou. The supremely talented Gane entered as a -500 favorite in what was largely viewed as a showcase for the Frenchman. However, Tuivasa nearly knocked out 'Bon Gamin' in a remarkable second round that saw both men hurt more than once.

Ciryl Gane proved that he can bounce back from adversity. Coming off the first loss of his professional career, 'Bon Gamin' survived some precarious moments against Tai Tuivasa to earn an enthralling third-round technical knockout victory in the UFC Fight Night 209 209 headliner at Accor Arena in Paris on Saturday. The 32-year-old Frenchman has been victorious in eight of his nine Octagon appearances and remains a major player in the heavyweight division despite a defeat at the hands of reigning champ Francis Ngannou this past January.
