Quick read

Fernand Lopez, who coached both Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane, is being recognised as one of MMA's outstanding talent-developers following Gane's knockout of Pereira. Lopez is credited with exceptional fight-planning and an eye for talent, having brought both men into the sport from non-combat backgrounds. Reports indicate Lopez has sold his gym, sold Ares FC, and divested his management business, with his work with Gane expected to mark the end of his active involvement in the sport.
