Who else is staggered that Gane is the favourite?

I'm not saying he's he's a lock or anywhere close but how can Ngannou be the underdog against anyone on the planet at this point? He's beaten everyone; & flattened them. He lost to Miocic, made the adjustment, & beat him back, so it's not like he's a one-trick pony.

Francis has been tested against much better competition than Gane too .
He seems to have a pretty good chin whilst having insane KO power himself, & that's a tough combination to beat. How's Gane gunna beat him? By schooling him for 25 minutes? That seems like a big ask.

He never beat Lewis and while he was off fighting far lesser comp after the first Stipe fight, Stipe had three fights in a row against DC which took years off him.

DC the fifty year old fat LHW?
 
Isn't it his first time as an underdog?

Yes. I find it crazy. We got a crazy HW prospect outta no where
 
Gane is a better striker, whereas the power edge is with Ngannou. Given the way Gane made Lewis look, not too surprising that Gane is a favourite.

With that said, this fight could go either way, but probably will be lopsided one way or another, early ko by Ngannou or dominant dec by Gane.
 
I do personally think Ngannou should be the favorite.
 
Gane has never been in trouble, in any of his fights and he's undefeated. Can't say the same about Francis.
Gane has shown how skilled he is, and that he has the tools to beat Ngannou. Doesn't mean he will, but he has a very good chance of doing it, and he has way more ways to win that fight that Ngannou who will need an early KO, otherwise it's probably game over.

Obviously Ngannou has the "touch of death" factor, but overall Gane is the better fighter. These odds make sense.
 
i'm somewhat surprised. but eh he's not a big favorite.

the lewis ngannou fight was basically a no contest. you can't really use it for an argument since nothing happened. i still feel beating stipe is a far bigger accomplishment than what gane has done so far
 
I'm not suprised, really

But I'm still going ngannou, I think people are disregarding his gameplaning
 
Ngannou was the underdog both times against Blaydes if I recall correctly as well. I got Ngannou by R1 KO.
