UFC 310: Controversial Decision in Gane vs Volkov Fight

The UFC 310 event held on December 7, 2024, in Las Vegas ended in controversy as Ciryl Gane was awarded a split decision victory over Alexander Volkov. The decision surprised many, including UFC President Dana White, who publicly stated, "I think Volkov won." This sentiment was echoed by Volkov himself, who expressed his disbelief at the judges' verdict, questioning how the less active fighter could win after taking more damage during the fight. Gane, returning from a fifteen-month hiatus, admitted he was "not happy" with his performance despite the win.

White's comments came after the fight, where he apologized to Volkov for the decision, noting that the fight was closely contested, particularly in the second round. The T-Mobile Arena crowd reacted negatively to the decision, booing the judges as the results were announced. While Gane's victory does not diminish his skills, it raises questions about his next steps in the UFC, as he may need another fight before contending for the title again.
