Gane vs Spivak: What has been said?
Gane fought Tai Tuivasa at the inaugural UFC Paris event last year but he believes Spivak is going to be a tougher challenge.
He said: “Tai Tuivasa was spectacular and he was a dangerous guy.
“Spivak, he doesn't look like a dangerous guy but he is more dangerous because he can strike, he can wrestle and he can go to the ground game.
“It's gonna be a big test for me. This is a new guy in just joining the top five. He's a good guy, a good fighter. He's well-rounded and he's dangerous.”
