The happiness was short-lived. Winner on Saturday evening against Serghei Spivac at the Accor Arena Paris, MMA champion Ciryl Gane immediately learned that he had just been the victim of a burglary in his apartment in Nogent-sur-Marne (Val-de -Marne) for damage estimated at 100,000 euros.
Four days later, the Val-de-Marne fighter returned to this misadventure during an interview on his show broadcast on Twitch. “I was robbed for the first time in my life,” he says soberly. Unfortunately, I really want to be that guy who lives in a world of care bears and I think I’m an average person who doesn’t attract malice or jealousy. We talk a lot about MMA, the fighters are very highlighted. I earn money and I don’t necessarily hide it. I didn’t take enough precautions. »
Still in shock, Gane says he avoided the worst. “It was only material. I don’t know who to thank for this but they took action when my family wasn’t there, that’s the main thing. My wife and two daughters had just left home. In my opinion, these guys were watching. »
If his family had been present, Val-de-Marnais does not know how he would have reacted: “The moral damage could have been very serious. When you’re robbed and you’re on the scene, your wife is tied up and beaten like your children… I don’t know how I would have reacted, it would have hurt me a lot. I don’t know who I would have hurt but I would have wanted to hurt a lot of people. »
After these events, the 33-year-old fighter realized that he was part of the same universe as his friend Kylian Mbappé. “I’m going to have to live with this and adapt my life, it sucks. I always wanted to stay that guy. I have a lot of footballer friends like Kylian (Mbappé) and Achraf (Hakimi), these guys don’t walk around alone. They always have a super armed guard on them, their family the same. I didn’t want to get in there, it sucks. »
