Gane fractured his foot in THREE DIFFERENT PLACES in the FIRST ROUND against Volkov ( X-ray IMAGE)

[Tweak896]

Volkov is so delusional that not only does he believes that there is zero controversy in the Almeida split decision, but get that.... Alex actually believes he got shameleselly robbed in the FIRST Gane fight.
Yes, that one => https://mmadecisions.com/decision/12040/Ciryl-Gane-vs-Alexander-Volkov

Volkov is straight-up delusional with that take, and he was lucky Gane has a broken foot in their rematch (still couldn't finish him though, shamefur dispray, I've scored that fight a draw but officially it's a win).

WAR BON GAMIN GANE
Best striker at HW \o/

Yeah, I think it's wild after such a clear 1st fight, that in the 2nd fight, even with Gane's injury, people wanted Volkov to win. Which would've just made Volkov/Aspinall rematch instead of Gane. Also it's such a weak "revenge" fight for Volkov, it was his chance to prove he's different now and he got outstruck by numbers and out controlled for both rounds.

The first match has Gane out striking Volkov on the feet 4*/5 rounds, well one round was a tie so you can say 3/5 for sure.

So these guys have gone 8 rounds total. Gane by numbers won 5/8 rounds. Volkov won 2/8 rounds. 1 round is even in numbers. Each fight Gane landed more strikes than Volkov.

Yet every other day you hear about Gane/Volkov like it's a great injustice in the world. It's just straight Gane hate since he lost to Jones. Volkov hasn't looked great, and even still has a major weakness on the ground and is 37.

Ranking wise, after beating Almeida, the only ones above him are Gane or Aspinall, two rematches. If Gane ends up taking the belt I think he'll look more dominant than ever in the 3rd match, if Aspinall keeps the belt then I'm assuming he takes down Volkov like butter again. Man the HW division is so fucked up. Only Pereira moving up or Jones returning even makes it interesting.

Gane will beat him way worse in a 3rd match than he beat him the the first fight. Gane was very green compared to volkov. Volkov started MMA in 2009, while Gane in 2018. So when they fight Gane had only 2 years and 10 months of experience, while Volkov 12 years . Also, Gane said that he took it easy on volkov in the first fight because they already signed a contract that will have them fight black beast 2 months later for the interim title if he won the volkov fight, so he did not want to risk injury and not being able to compete two months later against Black beast for the title.

Interesting. That makes tons of sense and I never knew. Yeah I don't subscribe to the "Volkov was screwed against Gane" narrative floating around here. Volkov had 2 chances to prove his point, and judges saw it differently, including when he broke his foot. Some reason I feel like there is enough people who believe Volkov has a chance we may even see a trilogy or the division has to flow that way, but I think it's total garbage.

Gane broke his foot in the first round of their second fight which is why he was only bouncy on his feet for the first minute of the fight. Gane without his footwork is not Gane. Even if he lost, the fact that Gane could be competitive in that situation prove how garbage volkov is.
