UFC heavyweight Ciryl Gane's apartment was burgled during his main event victory at the Accor Arena on Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to French outlet Le Parisien, the 33-year-old's home was targeted during UFC Paris in which Gane eased to a TKO victory over Sergey Spivak in the final fight of the night.<\/p>\n
The report adds that the home in Nogent-sur-Marne was the target of thieves overnight with police called to the location at 7:30am on Sunday morning local time.<\/p>\n
The perpetrators are thought to have forced their way in through the front door and stolen a Rolex as well as various jewellery, with losses at an estimated \u20ac150,000 (\u00a3128,000).<\/p>\n

Gane is the face of French MMA, which was only legalised by the French Ministry of Sport in 2020, since headlining both UFC cards in the capital city.<\/p>\n
The former football prospect extended his professional record to 12-2 with the win over Moldovan contender Spivak, bouncing back from his March defeat to Jon Jones.<\/p>\n
Gane is a former interim UFC heavyweight champion but had also lost on his first attempt at the title against Francis Ngannou back in 2022.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The report adds that video and audio footage could be used to identify the assailants, with traces left at the scene.<\/p>\n
Footballers have been targeted by thieves in similar circumstances in the past, with Raphael Varane burgled while playing for Real Madrid in 2016.<\/p>\n
Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof's wife was then left traumatised after their home was targeted while he played against Brentford. <\/p>\n
