UFC heavyweight Ciryl Gane’s home ‘ransacked by burglars with £130,000 stolen during fight’

CIRYL GANE'S home was robbed while he was fighting in the octagon with £130,000 worth of jewellery stolen, according to reports.

The Frenchman beat Serghei Spivac with a knockout in round two at UFC Paris on Saturday night.

During the bout Gane was the victim of a burglary at his home in Nogent-sur-Marne.

The house in the suburb of the capital city was targeted by the thieves, who claim forced their way through his front door.

The report claims a group of robbers ransacked the property and took jewellery worth £128,000.

A luxury Rolex watch was among the items stolen.

Police were allegedly called at 7:30am on Sunday morning with the robbery happening overnight.

Law enforcement are investigating and hope to identify the perpetrators using video taken at the scene.

Gane has not yet commented on the matter.

The heavyweight was competing in his first fight since losing to Jon Jones for the undisputed belt in March.

Gane, nicknamed Bon Gamin, said after his win that he is willing to fight anyone to earn a second attempt at becoming the title holder.

The 33-year-old could be set to fight Britain's Tom Aspinall next with the winner potentially meeting Jones for another shot at the belt.
