One fan joked that Gane’s evolution went from a great kickboxer with no grappling skills to a bad kickboxer with no grappling skills.
It's been great seeing the evolution of Ciryl Gane over the years. When he came to the UFC, he was a good kickboxer with no grappling. 5 years later, he's a bad kickboxer with no grappling.

UFC 310: Alexander Volkov Slammed Judge After Losing To Ciryl Gane
At the press conference after the fight, Alexander Volkov, clearly upset with the decision, expressed his frustration. He pointed out that in the UFC if a fighter isn’t professionally fit, they could be fired. Volkov emphasized that the same standard should apply to judges, stating that if someone can’t professionally do their job, they shouldn’t be in the position.
He stated, “I don’t know if she works on her [judging] skills. Or she just sometimes comes to watch the fights because she likes it and give the victory wherever she likes… Maybe she liked the body of Ciryl Gane more.”
Indeed, it will be interesting to see how Dana White, who has been focused on making the rankings fair, addresses the growing issue of judging. With the controversy surrounding recent decisions, many are hoping that he will take action to ensure more consistency and fairness in the judging process, which has become a significant concern over the years. Fans and fighters alike will be watching closely to see if changes are made.
