Ciryl Gane secured a TKO victory over Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250, but the win is marred by controversy over illegal strikes.

Referee Herb Dean has been criticized for failing to intervene or issue warnings during the illegal strikes. Despite the controversy, Gane is positioned for a title unification bout with Tom Aspinall, while Pereira's bid for a third division title was halted. AI
