Obviously missed the Volkov fight lol
Derrick has very heavy hands, but we also have not seen Gane knocked out or even down through 90+ minutes of octagon time.
Until we see Gane KO/TKOd there is no way to know if he is even susceptible to being finished in that manner.
I would apply the same logic to Ngannou. We have not seen him go down to a single shot nor KO/TKOd. While there have been signs he is susceptible to a TKO due to fatigue, there is nothing to suggest he is going to go down from any one shot.
Not every fighter is built the same so it is MMA math to conclude that the ability to KO Volkov means one has the ability to KO Gane.
I swear people have been saying this on sherdog for like every Black Beast fight since forever, then he just knocks them all out cold hahaha its cute really
This is another myth. Derrick has not actually knocked out that many opponents during the second half of his UFC career.
At the beginning of Derricks UFC career he was knocking out nearly every opponent. That high knockout rate though has waned significantly as his career has progressed. His first knockout post pandemic of Aleksei Oleinik was his first knockout since his fight against Volkov in 2018.
Over Derricks last ten fights he has won by decision nearly as much as he has won by knockout. He has won by knockout four times, won by decision three times, lost by knockout twice, and lost by submission once.
For context, over his past ten UFC fights Alexander Volkov has also won by knockout four times and won by decision three times. Curtis Blaydes over his last ten UFC fights has also won by knockout four times.
Derrick is not quite the knockout artist at this stage of his career as he is made out to be; most of it is hype and recency bias.
This is about the third thread TS has started now claiming Lewis has absolutely no chance of winning. Beginning to think TS is shook and trying to convince himself.
Anyway, Lewis via heel hook
Just balancing the atmosphere.
Not every thread needs to be about McGregor or an ode to The Black Beast's greatness.
You are either dumb, or poor.
If dumb, carry on.
If not dumb, then let's see your life's fortune on a betting slip.
Gane unfortunately commits a lot of accidental fouls (eye pokes, groin shots). I don't trust that an opponent who knows they cannot win will not eventually take the easy way out.
Theres a strong chance the referee will be one that has ever officiated one of Ganes fights so he won't get the benefit of the doubt.
While unlikely, it is something that must be kept in mind in 2021 when betting on fights, given the rash of DQs and fights ended prematurely due to fouls.
