As he indicated after the bout, Ciryl Gane was hindered early on in his rematch against Alexander Volkov at UFC 310.
Gane revealed in a social media post on Monday the extent of the injuries he suffered on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In addition to a broken toe, “Bon Gamin” also apparently injured two metatarsals in his foot. The Frenchman told Joe Rogan in his post-fight interview that the toes were broken in the opening stanza.
“It wasn’t only the big toe but also the two metatarsals that gave out on me at the beginning of the first round,” Gane said on his Instagram stories. “Which basically means I had no foot, but we didn’t give up and used our brain to fight.”
Despite the injury, Gane defeated Volkov via contentious split decision in their heavyweight clash. Many observers thought Volkov deserved the nod, including 19 of the 20 media scorecards tracked by MMADecisions.com.
Gane himself wasn’t thrilled with the performance, as he attempted to exit the Octagon without speaking after the official verdict was announced.
“I was frustrated about my fight because of this [injury],” Gane said during his post-fight media session. “I was frustrated because I started my training in July for this fight, and you started your fight like this. Like the first second you land.”
Nonetheless, Gane is now 2-0 against Volkov. The 34-year-old MMA Factory product has won two straight fights since falling to Jon Jones in a heavyweight title bout at UFC 285.
