DC says Ciryl Gane "sh*t his pants"

The fight was only 2 minutes, I think people make too much out of Gane allegedly underperforming.


Gane respected Jon like any fighter would, Jon just had an answer for everything Gane tried to do.

Like what did people expect, Gane to charge across the octagon and batter Jon with ease? Gane fought the same way he always does, but Jon had too many reads combined with the grappling threat.
 
I don't think so. Gane got just baited when Jones released the sub and Jones went for the sub again. You can watch the training videos of Gane. He drilled for that same position many times. He probably felt safe in that position since nobody can do anything to do him during training.
 
When Jones wins easily it's because he won the fight before he ever got in the cage. I didn't think Gane would be susceptible to that but it turned out to be one of the worst cases of it. On the other hand, he has his toughest fights when his opponent is not intimidated and believes he can win (and of course matches up well physically) like Reyes and Gustafsson. Stipe's coming into the fight with that frame of mind so I'm starting to think he may have a better chance than most people have been giving him credit for
 
Obviously a bad night for Gane, but "Jon beat him too dominantly for it to be a legitimate W" is the GOAT Jon cope, as if beating an opponent before they ever walk into the cage is something to criticize.
 
When Jones landed the takedown, it was because Gane was radically out of position on the feet. Gane threw a super-aggressive looping step forward power punch and stepped past center, actually turning his back to Jones and leaving his hands completely out of position to defend the back takedown.

The thing is, it wasn't something Jones had seen on tape and prepped for; he actually needed some time to react to Gane's mistake. That also means it isn't something Gane was expecting or had prepped to defend. Gane hit panic mode, and while it didn't finish him immediately, he also didn't stop panicking until Jones stopped him.

Gane definitely shit his pants.

Seriously. Ciryl was the highest-ranked available HW, but bedwetters here will just cry cherry-pick, perfect opponent, etc. Some even said UFC paid Gane off to throw it <lmao>
