Ciryl Gane crowned UFC heavyweight champion and defends title vs controversial Josh Hokit

Ciryl Gane has been crowned UFC heavyweight champion after undisputed champion Tom Aspinall, who has been sidelined since suffering an injury in October, relinquished the official title. Gane had previously won the interim belt in June following Aspinall's injury. With the full championship now in hand, Gane is set to defend the title against Josh Hokit in a controversial matchup.
