The Daniel Cormier Show - Ciryl Gane on Alex Pereira title fight at White House, Tom Aspinall rematch

Alright guys, Freedom 250 check-in with the one and only Ciryl Gane—people are already crowning Alex Pereira, so are you cool with being the one they overlook?

I like being the outsider; the pressure shifts to him, and I can chase the belt with a clear mind while giving respect where it’s due.

Quick rewind to Tom Aspinall—you were sharp with the movement, jab, and that takedown defense; did you feel his confidence change in there?

I felt it; after my clean jabs and his first shot, his breathing changed and I grew more comfortable as the round went on.

You’ve been in multiple title fights—does that stack of chances add pressure, or can you keep it light at this point?

I earned these shots and my experience lowers the weight on my shoulders; my job is to show my best version.

There’s talk that a win makes Alex an all-time great—what does that noise mean to you, and what do you expect from him at heavyweight?

The outside chatter isn’t my focus; winning means everything to me, and I expect the best-prepared Pereira who knows one punch at this weight can change it all.

What would lifting this belt mean, and will the White House stage hit you in the moment?

It would mean a lot—I trained for this—and on fight night I’ll stay locked in while appreciating how special that setting is.

Before you go, I’ve seen your golf swing, but I want a hoops three-point shootout—want to put a little money on it?

Basketball over golf, I’m in; three-point contest for five hundred sounds good.
