Ciryl Gane won against Francis Ngannou.

[Versez]

Ciryl won the first 2 rounds, then he saw his weakness in the next two, in the 5th one his corner saw what's wrong, he did a takedown, she tried an submission attempt !! why did he lost ?!

ciryl did takedown francis in the 5th

It's been over a week. Ciryl accepted he lost as soon as the final bell rang.

It's time to start letting go.

 

[Sosua]

It was very close but Cyril even thought he lost.

Best to forget that fight ever happened though

Dude did you just wake up from a cryogenic sleep?

top control wins in the UFC.

You could easily argue Cyril 3-2, but realistically the judges always award top position regardless of how active a fighter is on bottom. The decision was to be expected.

Lol, nah, he's been at it since the fight.

I appreciate the passion from @Versez and @GORO though.

I guess you missed the rest of that round. He lost to a 1 leg Ngannou. Let that sink in.

They are the special needs yin and yang of sherdog. Truly heroes among men.

 

[RayA]

He did a takedown, and then got swept and put on bottom.

Lol, well said.

He should have won, but the judges don't really know the official scoring criteria or just choose to ignore them. It is what it is. It was really close anyway.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Yes, Gane unequivocally won the fifth round according to the scoring criteria set forth in the unified rules, which would have swung the fight in his favor since he won the first two rounds on two judges scorecards. There is a significantly stronger argument for awarding Ngannou the 1st round than awarding him the 5th round.

This youtuber does a good job of explaining it.

Ultimately though it does not matter, to the victor go the spoils, and Gane was not the victor. Gane is a very good fighter with a unique ability to rapidly develop new skills due to his athleticism and he will go into his next fight having made the necessary adjustments to be champion. The deficiencies in Gane's grappling have been exaggerated but holes did exist and a stronger grappler than Ngannou could have capitalized on them to inflict actual damage. It is better Gane take the L now, fix the existing holes in his grappling, and leave no room for the judges to make another bad decision when he inevitably gets another title shot in the not too distant future.

I honestly was rooting for Gane, but the way he finished the fight was like a man who’d accepted his fate and already knew he’d lost... , for the sake of the judging he needed to appear as a guy who thought he won a tight decision... after the final buzzer he looked dejected, head down, posture of the vanquished, you cannot finish the fight as such and expect to win. Judges made the right call.
