Junior Dos Santos believes Ciryl Gane may have cheated during his win vs Tai Tuivasa during their fight at UFC Paris over the weekend.
On Saturday, Gane was able to knock out Tuivasa with a series of blows, a couple of which appeared to land behind Tuivasa’s head.

“What a dirty fighter this Gane is,” Dos Santos wrote on Twitter. “Again hitting the back of the head. And now what are those ‘fight experts’ [sic] will say about it?”
