Sparring doesn't equate to what's going to happen in the cage...

If Cyril Gane is gonna look past Francis because he's the more technical striker, He might get slept...
I would have him as a slight favorite -150.
Probably beats Francis by UD...

I'll allow this because of your av.

TS, way to illustrate your point by providing some evidence for consideration!

On a serious note, thank you! I really wanted to know what the fry-guy at McDonalds thought about this fight.

The animosity between you two...

Just accept the fact that his AV is equally as awesome. and let it go....

I mean in this situation definately I'd expect Gane to come off better sparing vs Francis than the two of them going 100%, that will alwatys benefit the more technical fighter over the more powerful one.

Cyril needs to make Francis humble...

This one and the one with ssunbiki on the runway - I forget whose it is (but he introduced me to ssunbiki so he's a good guy), and a couple others always get my gf in trouble. She has to clean up their mess.

Francis style is based around his power and him being able to end almost any fight with just one solid connection. So during technical sparring hes just gonna be dropping rounds because he cant use his main weapon which is his ridiculous power and hes gonna get consistently beat by technical fighters.

Both Gane and Lopez have said as much. They know that technical light sparring favours Gane and takes away Ngannou's advantages. That being said, they also know Francis is emotional and takes pride in being the alpha. I wouldn't be surprised if Lopez released the footage to get into Ngannou's head. Make him angry and lose composure. Francis' best chance to win is if he stays calm and patient and this might be Lopez trying to get under his skin – same as him saying that Francis got dropped by a knee.
