Fresh controversy has followed newly crowned UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane after he reclaimed the belt at UFC's "Freedom 250" event celebrating the 250th

Ciryl Gane's 2nd-round TKO over Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250 is overshadowed by video of repeated illegal back-of-the-head shots and questions about referee Herb Dean.

The first of two title fights on the UFC White House card saw former two-division titleholder Alex Pereira square off with Ciryl Gane for interim gold.
