Ciryl gane fight IQ is off the chart.

The heavyweight division is so weak it’s ridiculous
 
Gane is the Stephen Hawking of HW MMA. Super high IQ, funny accent and moves like he has wheels instead feet.

you might be confusing him with his coach. as a fighter he is just following the tactical gameplan.
 
Who will be able to possibly solve that puzzle ? The only I might see is Jones and he will have to work a lot and not try to cruise through a decision.

Ciryl's distance control is really superb. He just knows how far Lewis can kick and punch and he is always on his toes ready to skip back or sideways, it's brilliant to watch.

He's a bit like a scaled-up version of Wonderboy Thompson in certain respects.

Agreed and it’s made Ngannou look way more impressive than he actually is. Someone like Carwin would have KOed the entire division too. Hell, Derrick Lewis has KOed most of this division lmao.
 
Good video. Gane is what we needed at HW. Always an aging, shallow division and the champ needs a challenger.
 
Semmy Schilt would ruin him in 2004.

LOL Semmy lost to MWs who could take him down. We've seen that Gane has a functional ground game. He'd easily beat a prime version of Schilt in MMA.
 
I highly, highly doubt it. Schilt wasn't very good. He was decent but nothing special.

In Kickboxing Schilt would destroy him

Schilt weighs 300lbs is 6"11, with an 89 inch reach and an insane leg reach. He KO people with Jabs and destroyed elite kickboxers. Try to close distance? Schilt jabs may KO you and then his knee strikes would come up the middle. Schilt brutalized every elite kickboxer ever

??? where was anything discussed about kickboxing? llol
 
His IQ will be the level of Forrest Gump after Ngannou sends him to shadow realm....
 
Gane is all class but let's be real Lewis is an easy target for this kind of video. Doesn't really do much aside from looking for that killer punch.
 
What a messed up thread.

The man is obviously very skilled, and technical. But, has he ever eaten a clean shot from a top 3 HW?

Your skills and fight IQ will only get you so far. Sooner or later somebody is going to tag you. Can he rebound from a clean headkick like GSP did? Can he take Ngannou’s power like Stipe did at least 5 different times?

There is one HUGE unanswered question regarding Gane. Can he take a flush shot to his chin from the best fighters? We certainly didn’t see Lewis land his power shot. Which is exactly what I predicted.

Calm the fuck down. He may or may not be able to take that shot. If his fight IQ truly is off thecharts. He’ll never get landed on that badly.
 
For a Hw yes but Volk,Jones,Aldo or Cruz have better fight IQ

Where was Jones 'mythical high IQ' when he was getting battered in Gus 1, arguably lost to Reyes, didn't take a legless Santos down and lost on 1 judge's scorecard?

Just because he does spinning shit, has cartoonish reach for his division and has a license to eye poke does not = high fight IQ.

It's the exact same thing where people say Conor defended well against Khabib without pointing out he was cheating the whole time which lead to that 'great defence'.

Are you Jones guys saying he wanted to get hit, get hospitalised after fights, bleed and lose on scorecards? Because if not then this is what you call impeccable fight IQ.

Jones wouldn't have a chance, he's well past his prime and he doesn't even fight in that weight class. Ngannou has the best shot with his boxing and ridiculous power.
 
Someone who can dictate where the fight goes = high fight IQ?

Got it.
 
Gane is obviously the next GOAT and an unsolvable rubik’s cube that even prime Fedor could not solve. All because got a tko over Lewis in a match that Dana forced.

Lol shertards.
