Media Cyril Gane is the most exciting prospect in the UFC.

I had a feeling that he might be the future of this division maybe iam wrong but we will see how he will perform against JDS Tomorrow night

I don't think youth matters at heavyweight. There's a reason the average top 10 age is high. They beat the newcomers regularly.

Most exciting??? You’re forgetting someone View attachment 819369

No one will forget Khamzat and by the way his fight against Leon is rescheduled for January 20th

 

[Deleted member 567183]

jds is a more exciting prospect

10 years ago he was one of the best fighters in the HW division but now he is on a 3 fight losing streak but his losing streak is against Top contenders not against someone who is unranked

 

[Deleted member 567183]

He's exciting, but there's drawbacks. He moves like a MW but has the punching power of one too.

Most of the HWs have 1 KO punch but Stipe and Gane are moving like MW unlike the others they are moving a bit slower

 

[Deleted member 567183]

I agree, He es a very complete atlet, He really like JDS but He es no the same, the time comes for everyone

After 5 or 6 years from now the time for Gane will come and even the youngest fighter in the roster his time will come after 15-16 years from now

 

[D'z]

Someone missed a great opportunity for the name Cyril "Killer" Gane.

 

[dragovic]

So many absolute trash fighters there. But yeah, it's crazy.

 

[TerrorTimmy]

I imagine this will be the end of JDS ufc career

Same. I wish Junior had hung em up years ago. Those Cain fights took years off his life. Everything since then has only taken more.

 

[Doug Money]

Lacks power which is worrying at hw. He can be dominating from start to finish and one swang from black beast puts him out cold. Thats the reallity of heavyweight.

 

[theTKDguy]

I have watched his fights and he is decent but has a shit ton of improvement to do on his defence.
His power output is not on the Ngannou scale so his exposed chin (in most of his punching combos) is twice as bad for him to get clipped.
He can get away with a lot because of the shallow division but I'd favour Black Beast, Rozenstruick, Ngannou, Stipe and Tom Aspinall over him by K.O.
Volkov to beat him by decision. Tybura by decision.

He is a prospect and remains that (in my eyes) until he gets wins over those guys.

But this does not take away his potential. Remember his level of competition thus far.

Agree. He's good but i don't think he should be that big of a favorite against a more powerful jds.

that’s because the biggest and best athletes do other things and boxing surpasses mma.

the old dogs lived fighting. It’s not about that as much today. That’s why you see all of these old guys still hanging on. Overeem still with a realistic shot at a title fight.

the majority of the hw roster are big titted guys.

You should watch again because he never get touched. 73% striking defense in his UFC fights, and probably even more including his 3 previous fights in TKO.

I like watching him as well. But it’s almost impossible to believe a Frenchman could be the baddest man on the planet.

This guy in his prime was a serious contender for baddest man on the planet.

That is a good stat but when you have 10+ fights in the UFC then that can change dramaticaly.

But that wasn't what I was alluding to.

He is wide open. Covering up or moving out of the way is a chunk of it, but throwing with hands down is not a small factor.
Let's see how it pans out.

My favourite HW kickboxer of all time. Not the best, but up there and brought it, man.

JLB is badass.

Yes small sample, and lower tier opponents. Still, he's elusive and seems to have a decent chin.
The hands down give more mobility, facilitate head movement, and helps with TDD. Some have been successful with it: Adesanya, Conor, Wonderboy, Whittaker.

Well Lebanner is just one guy. And yeah he was the shit. I didn’t even know he was French and I watched him from early in his career. and I still don’t accept that as fact. Lol.

edit. And sure the last name should have been a tip off. But I guess I ignored it.

kind of like the band Queen. And then you’re shocked that the singer is gay and named the band queen.

Khamzat is exciting and all, but Cyril Gane, with his fluid, smooth standup, MW - like speed, and burgeoning ground skills, and youth (!), is the most exciting prospect in the organization.
And given that he fights in what is frequently derided as the most shallow and decrepit division in the sport, his presence will give a much - needed kick in the gonads there also!
Hopefully my man Reem wins the belt and retires before Bon Gamin' gets him too!

Fiziev the dopest on this card. Gane is dope but he’s not getting past stipe francis or that wrestler that lost to francis twice heavyweights thin tho so probably he’s top 5 soon

How do you see the fight going tomorrow with JDS?
