On a side note, it seems like he heard those "criticisms", where people complained about his way of never getting hit, while methodically picking guys apart, being somewhat boring to some. He doesn't want to be a boring champ ; he noticed himself that he was barely tired at the end of most of his fight, and decided he had to change something. His fight against Tai is probably the start of a new, less risk-adverse way of fighting. Gane is still learning and I have no doubt he'll be more and more impressive.
Since his fight against Francis, he's already the most popular fighter from France (Rinner (judo is huge here) and Yoka being 2nd and 3rd), which is kinda crazy when you think MMA was literally illegal here before 2020 (broadcasting mma was illegal too, and it still is before 10 PM, which is usually not a problem, because UFC cards start after midnight most of the time)
