Ahead of the scrap, BJPENN.com reached out to several pro fighters to make their picks for the fight. The pros are leaning towards Ciryl Gane returning to the win column at home by keeping it standing and likely getting a TKO.

BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Ciryl Gane vs. Serghei Spivac:

Volkan Oezdemir, UFC light heavyweight: Ciryl Gane for sure. He’s one of the best strikers and I think he can keep this fight standing and piece up Spivac.

Thiago Moises, UFC lightweight: I think Ciryl Gane, by TKO in the later rounds.

Christos Giagos, UFC lightweight: I’m going with Ciryl Gane, I expect him to have a big bounce back here. He’s super athletic and I think he will KO Spivac.

Josh Fremd, UFC middleweight: Serghei Spivac is on a rampage and I see him pulling it off. He has the momentum right now and his grappling will be the difference.

Isaac Dulgarian, UFC featherweight: If Gane shows up and fights what he is capable to, I don’t think he should have a problem knocking Spivac out. But, if he struggles early, Spivac can submit him, but I think Gane will find his chin.

Kyle Nelson, UFC featherweight: I’m going with Gane. I expect him to stay long with his range and use his boxing to land the better shots on Spivac. If Spivac can get ahold of him, it might be a different story, but I expect Gane’s footwork to be too good and be able to keep it standing.

Jasmine Jasudavicius, UFC flyweight: I think Ciryl Gane should win it, but he didn’t look good in his last fight.
