War Wagon Gane is going to shock the world.

[FriskyRandy]

you couldn't be more wrong.


Honestly, I fucking hate this place sometimes. Posts like this make me hate mma fans so much. Thankfully, the promotion doesn't respect mma fans.


He'd lose really badly if he tried it. He gets finished in 2 if he tries to strike with gane.

As you can see by the reactions of my post and your post, it appears the majority of people think you're wrong.
I'm not even certain Tom would lose in straight striking battle.

Aspinall can easily exploit Gane's trash grappling

 

[ThaiSexPills]

He has a puncher's chance that's about it. But he does even punch that hard

No. You don’t have a punchers chance if you have pillow fists

This is what gane was fighting with for 5 rounds. You do the math.

Volkov took him down in the 1st....any more excuses?

 

[Ibm]

Tell us you don't understand the sport without telling us...

Gane is a more technical striker, Tom is a faster and likely harder hitter, lets throw in better grappler too. If Gane keeps his distance, technical, he has ad advatage. Whats so un-understahding of the sport about that?

I am not sure what you are trying to say?

Tom messed up his knee against Curtis and immediately gave up, the heavyweight division is too unpredictable and injuries are common.

 

[Al Tair]

The more I watch gane and Tom the more I realise that this is going to be a competitive fight . Gane is constantly in a state of motion everywhere inside the cage and has slick head movement. I think Gane will survive the onslaught for the first 2 rounds and win a split decision 48/47

I don’t think Tom will be able to take him down, and if he does, it will be brief, against the cage, and gane will expect it.

how many heavywieghts can avoid getting sent to the shadow realm with ngannou?
Styles makes fights guys.

ngannou had a broken knee

ngannou had a broken knee

Watch the fight and watch how quick ngannous hooks were, they are fast as fk. Granted Tom shoots straight, but his entries can be predictable.

[GluttonforPunishment]

Huh? A majority of that division absolutely fucking sucks. Adding that he's a HW in your post makes your point worse, you know that correct?
You fucking suck dinglenuts.

He's actually talented and not some dumb fat slob. Can't say the same for you

I'm saying that Gane's broken hand had nothing to do with his takedown defense, checked by Volkov at the very first minutes of the round.
Volkov exposed what Aspinall can easily implement. He's superior grappler to those who took Gane down.

Well that's just dumb. Even if you really, really think Gane's going to win, you still have to realize that very few people agree and that the odds on him are only going to get longer as money comes in on Tom. I'm not at all sure where the odds will end up, but they definitely will favor placing bets on Gane later rather than now. Today's +300 is going to be at least in the +400-to-500 range at some point, and there's probably no reason to place a bet on Gane until fight week or so.

Now if you're going to bet on Tom, the only potential reason not to bet now is the float.

 

[Epsteins Guard]

On the FEET. He arguably lost his last fight and has been embarrassed twice.
Would you expect the #1 contender to have as poor grappling as he does? He got wrestle fucked by big frank. That's something that's laughable, not my reasonable take which the majority of people on this forum agree with.

.... and also..... defensively sound? Dude almost got KOed by Tai Tuivasa

I wouldn't be that sure. It's a HW division.
Even Tybura was +350 against Aspinall's -475.
So it might actually stay the same, especially since it's Gane.

On the other hand, if I were him and believed in Gane, I'd wait and check the odds of Gane by decision, or fight going after 3 rounds....

 

[Ronald Ringpiece]

no he hasn't, He's gone 25 mins multiple times and has won before.

I swear to god man, how does this place has people who actually fill out a registration form to join a forum only to post things that are factually incorrect with such confidence.

Why does sherdogs collective IQ drop 50 points when speaking about cyril gane?

Fair enough - I’ll take the L on that one.

OP mentioned the Ngannou / Volkov fight but I knew the Volkov one wasn’t 5 rounds. Didnt bother to check for any others.

Gane will still be out of there in the first round anyway.

 

[Squarechoke]

Actually it does because if you actually take the time out to watch the fights you'll see that ngannou was knocking everyone out in minutes flat as well but gane bested him on the feet and stood up infront of him the entire fight.

Gane is the only person to beat Ngannou in a stand up fight. Everyone else who has had to stand up with him has been ko'd bar lewis.

but now, All of a sudden, Aspinall is the greatest and most dangerous KO artist the HW division has ever seen. Ngannou; Just some pfl guy right? Just another common case of recency bias.

Quote when I said that Aspinall is the greatest and most dangerous KO artist the HW division has ever seen, or that Ngannou isn't good. Or even that Aspinall automatically beats Gane standing. You either failed completely at basic reading comprehension or you're a liar, which I guess may explain the hypocrisy of yours that I was pointing out.

Hopefully you can be a man about it and not run away.

 

[snugglecakes]

didn't rico verhoeven say said tom aspinal has the best striking out of any MMA HW he's ever worked with... or was it out of any MMA fighter in general?

 

[mkess101]

Gane is a more technical striker, Tom is a faster and likely harder hitter, lets throw in better grappler too. If Gane keeps his distance, technical, he has ad advatage. Whats so un-understahding of the sport about that?

Let's see...

You can argue about the technical striking. Tom keeps his hands low, but has head movement and uses faints well so he's not all that hittable. Gane is a solid point fighter and a very good overall striker yes. He looks different doing it, but Aspinall is also extremely technically proficient. He sets traps, and his counters are the fastest I've seen in 25+ years of watching HW's. And he has killshot power on top of it.

Now add in that Gane doesn't have good TDD and Tom is a better grappler. Your "puncher's chance" comment is laughable. And Aspinall isn't favored because he's champ. He's favored because the people who set betting lines and have to be right more than wrong think he's a 3 to 1 favorite. And they don't care who the champ is when they set lines. They care who the public will bet, and they care about where their exposure is.

 

[jeskola]

Its only an upset since Aspinall is the champ, Gane is a way better technical striker. Tom just has a puncher's chance.

"Puncher's chance" generally means you are a pretty big underdog who might be able to land a lucky KO. I don't think that description applies here. That's more a Derrick Lewis vs. Gane or Derrick Lewis vs. Cormier description.
