Ciryl Gane's distance striking rate could be a positive indicator for his future success

Ciryl Gane signed with the UFC after only three professional MMA fights. In his four fights inside the Octagon, he has proved that he belongs with an undefeated record, three stoppages and a victory over a former UFC champion. Despite winning his first two UFC fights by submission, the majority of Gane’s fights have played out on the feet. 82% of his landed significant strikes have come at distance, which is defined as standing and not the clinch. Including only strikes at distance, Gane has a +2.74 differential (significant distance strikes landed per minute minus significant distance strikes absorbed per minute). That distance differential is the third highest among ranked fighters and ahead of notable strikers such as Alexander Volkov (+2.69), Joanna Jedrzejczyk (+2.58), Max Holloway (+2.05) and Kevin Holland (+1.96).
