UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Volkov Full Fight Results

Heavyweight Ciryl Gane confirmed his ascension into the UFC elite with a decisive five-round victory over veteran Alexander Volkov at UFC Vegas 30 on Saturday, June 26, in Las Vegas. His crisp boxing and Octagon control made it a straightforward victory for the Frenchman.

In the co-main event, Tanner Boser knocked out Ovince St. Preux after a controversial potential fence grab — video evidence was inconclusive. The 13-fight card produced plenty of fireworks, with only five of the fights going the distance.

The UFC takes a two-week hiatus before returning for Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 3 on July 10.
