Do you think Cyril Gane can beat Ngannou?

[Takes Two To Tango]

A simple yes or no.

Personally, no I don't think so.

 

[Jason7227]

FK no

 

[User4908]

I don’t even think he can beat Curtis Blaydes lol

 

[kingConor]

He will and sherdpg will be so salty

 

[Pierced7681]

Five rounds is a long time to last against Ngannou, especially if you don’t have the wrestling to get him on the ground. More likely Francis clips him and puts him away.

 

[nately]

Absolutely. Gane just needs to survive the first two rounds and then he's the favorite. His striking is much more crisp and efficient than Ngannou's. Gane is really hard to hit as well.

 

[Small Town Andrew]

I hope not.

Might point fight him for 5 rounds and win.

 

[amok attitude]

Difficult cause he has to move a lot and in the same time he does not have the reach

 

[Ackmed]

Gane has longer win streak than Ngannou so he's basically already the HW champ

 

[CodyMckenziesPrime]

Gane is not a prize fighter, he doesn’t even deserve the opportunity to fight nganou.

 

[NationWideNinja]

No. Unless he has some crazy Roy Nelson level chin and he can just take Ngannous best punches and win a decision. Otherwise I see him getting slept fairly early in the fight.

His hands low stance is not the approach you want to use against Francis.

 

[CorninginChristianburg]

I'd much prefer a "will" rather than "can" phrasing, because anything "can" happen but what is more likely to happen is harder to decide.

I would take Ngannou, but it is an interesting fight to look forward to. I think they're doing a good job of building Gane for the inevitable Ngannou fight.

 

[Andrei Orlovski]

Did Gane even fight a wrestler in UFC? Test him against Curtis first. Or fight the Black Beast before he can take on the GOAT.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

Ngannou is similar to Wilder in that if he catches you it's nighty night

He has the patience and power to end the Gane

 

[Iron Nick]

Yes, he absolutely can.

But if Gane does not, i have a hard time picturing anyone beating Francis.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

He could potentially outpoint him but I think Ngannou easily knocks him out.

 

[Fatback96]

Depends on which Ngannou we see. Honestly I think early bum-rushing Ngannou has a better chance than the current slow paced Ngannou.

 

[Fesaine]

Yes.

For whatever reason sherdog is so salty about gane.

 

[BooBoyMan]

Ngannou literally has no clear advantage over Gane other than power. 100% Gane can beat him, in fact he's probably the contender with the best chance of doing so.

Don't know why people are acting like Ngannou would be a -1000 favorite

 

[morrisondafalln]

Francis will eat his punchs and put the pressure on him. Is also francis can take him down. If he wants.
