Game is bigger than Ngannou, but also bigger than Gane too.
He might or he may just do what he did his last fight against the previous champion and pace himself better throughout until he finds his moment to blitz and take the Frenchman out. Then again I could see Francis using wrestling to get in close and on breakup swinging away.Francis is going to quickly blow his wad in a failed attempted blitz and then go nighty night.
I'm gonna love it =)
Ngannou seems to have dropped a bit of muscle imo.
Seen him in a picture with Verhoeven and he seemed to have lost size but there again Rico is huge so would make most people look smaller.
I miss ole tippy toesGane might be big but does not have wide shoulders which makes him vulnerable to left high kicks.
Also Francis unlike BJ Penn fight always with bent knees to have better explosion so height won’t matter
yeah but it was before the rematch between themThat was three years ago.
it's cause uncle dana turned the bah bah sheep fans against Francis in like five minutesIt’s why I love the sport. Just wish people would stop trashing Francis for no reason.

Their shoulders are the same height, Gane is holding his head more up so his chin is slightly higher. They are the same height. Gane uses his length very effectively in striking but Francis has that bullrush take your head off thing in reserve at all times.
Both men are very girthy… I love it!
If and when either of them get in trouble, I expect we'll see some panic wrestling. Certainly some clinching agianst the fencei wonder if either one of them will go for a takedown. I’m sure they both know it’s the other persons weakness.
Even the part of his power that doesn't has power has power.agreed. talking about it being "volume vs power" has minor merit when both guys are this big. Gane's volume has power, and his power has power
All part of the plan.

Didnt know this. Gane looks like Ngannous big brother. I will be asking for a refund on my 7 dollar bet on francis. I was duped via false advertising.
No doubt Gane's strong but there's no evidence to suggest he's physically stronger than Ngannou who's been digging ditches since he was a child. You can only really judge that once the two are actually fighting and they decide to clinch. You might be right, but at this point it's nothing but a guess.Francis may be heavier but Gane is physically stronger. He is a bigger boned guy so his lean muscle does not give off the same visual aesthetic as Ngannou's.
The fight will reflect this when Gane clinches Ngannou onto the cage wall and is able to hold him there.
This is the exact opposite of what Fernand Lopez and Gane himself said. “Till today, I’ve never seen anyone as powerful, as athletic, with such knockout power, I’ve never seen it. In terms of strength, he might be the most impressive guy in UFC’s history,” said Gane.Francis may be heavier but Gane is physically stronger. He is a bigger boned guy so his lean muscle does not give off the same visual aesthetic as Ngannou's.
