PARIS – Fernand Lopez won’t make any excuses on behalf of Ciryl Gane . The coach of MMA Factory knows they failed in their goal to take the UFC heavyweight title in March when they faced Jon Jones at UFC 285. A lot of people were disappointed to not only see Gane (11-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) come up short , but also see him tap out in just two minutes of the fight. Many have pointed at Gane’s mentality, while others have questioned his dedication to training and quality of wrestling preparation. Lopez shut down all those questions and simply said Jones was the better man that night. “What’s good about this sport is that MMA can humble you and make you think twice,” Lopez said.
