The heavyweight champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is often dubbed the "baddest man on the planet", but Ciryl Gane is on a quest to prove there is no reason why he cannot also be one of the friendliest.
The Frenchman is 1.96m and 110kg of toned muscle but also armed with a megawatt smile. He made his UFC debut in August last year and has quickly risen to No. 14 in the heavyweight list, winning all three of his fights convincingly.
