War Wagon Gane is going to shock the world.

[XociDe]

The last Volkov fight was 3 rounds, and he gassed hard af because he was forced to fight. He can probably dance around looking pretty for 10 rounds. If you pressure him, force him to grapple, hit him, he will gas and wilt.

I used to rate Gane very highly but I don't think his head is in the game like it used to be.

If Aspinall is having problems on the feet, there's nothing Gane can do to stop the takedown. Once it's on the ground, he has nothing to offer.

There are still serious questions around Aspinall's cardio and it wouldn't surprise me if it's pretty bad, but I think he finishes Gane within 2 rounds.

That would suck actually. Having a champion that lost to the last 2 champions would just make the division feel even weaker than it already does.

Striking - Gane

Wrestling - even
Grappling - Asp

cchin - ?

Gane absolutely fucking sucks, and he's going to lose badly.

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.

You think Aspinall is gonna strike with Gane???

I mean, I'm sure he could but that's not gonna happen.

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

Frank also had reach advantage, yet couldn't find the mark. I doubt Tom can find the target, especially in the later rounds.

Stop it kid. You can try to frame the fight any way you want. Everyone knows Frank was injured everyone knows why the fight went the way it went. And at the end of the day he won.

I disagree, it would just make those champs look better.

To think the division would feel weaker only because tom never fought the best is a bit offside for me.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Gane has only done 25 minutes once - and lost.

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?

Clown take (the second part, not the first). No, Gane isn't trash. He's a good HW. But thinking he'll beat Aspinall "really badly" inside 2 rounds standing...just...no. Gane has slick striking but he (like Tom) relies not just on footwork but speed. Except Aspinall is just as fast, probably faster. And hits way harder. And has the grappling threat, which affects how Gane has to deal with his striking.

 

[WhiteMousse]

You can never, ever count on anything at heavyweight. I would be surprised if Gane wins but it would hardly be unbelievable.

I was really hoping for a good dice roll on Jones vs Stipe. I will admit that I dislike Jones to the extent that I am hoping that Aspinall gets Gane out of there so quick that Jones' ego compels him to go back into the Octagon and gets smashed.

Why? If they're wrong and you're right and you know it, why does it bother you?

Champs that aren’t around anymore. So the current champion is a guy that lost to the last 2, makes the current division seem very weak. Whereas with Aspinall, you at least have the question, you know? He’s not the guy that lost multiple title fights now becoming the champ only because those guys left.

 

[prime_lobov]

Would love to see this happen just to see the Jones haters melt down. However, I don’t think it’ll happen. Gane got flattened and nearly finished by Tai Tuivasa, and also choked out by old Jones so easily that it looked like a fix. If he beats Tom I’d be surprised.

 

[RockyLockridge]

It's just such incredibly ridiculous hyperbole.

He's lost to ngannou and jones so he's absolutely terrible.

just like max holloway who lost to Volk and topuria he's abosolutely terrible too right?

Gane certainly isn't terrible but it didn't help your stance that same post of yours added that the guy that keeps knocking people out in under two minutes stands no chance on the feet with Gane though.

 

[RockyLockridge]

is also a fair way to look at it . Gane lost in title fights twice, yes. his fight with francis was very very close and he only lost via one fatal error which is not terrible for a young fighter like gane in his first title fight.

Aspinall has not faced a single fighter as good as Jones or Ngannou yet, So we dont know if aspinall is only champ because they are gone.

Beating Cryil, IMO is far more important for tom than beating Jones. Beating jones just means jones is old and past it, As expected. Gane, Is without a doubt, the best HW of the last 10 years signed to the UFC who is still there outside of tom himself..

 

[SuperAlly]

Aspinall’s a human highlight reel, but Gane’s slick footwork and technical game might just steal the show.
Picture Gane dancing around Ngannou’s bombs at UFC 270, landing crisp counters and kicks over five rounds—his heavyweight ballet could make Aspinall chase and test that unproven gas tank.

Tom’s has quick KOs over Pavlovich and Blaydes, plus a slick sub on Volkov , but he’s faced no one with Gane’s finesse. Gane was outstriking Volkov 146-106 and TKO’ing Lewis with surgical precision.

Aspinall’s never seen round 3 in 18 fights , while Gane’s gone 25 minutes against Ngannou and Volkov—can Tom keep up if Gane drags him to deep waters?

Seriously, if Gane avoids the early storm, he might outpoint or even finish a gassed Aspinall.

48-47 Gane, you heard it here first folks.

What, make the 2nd round?

I just read your post after my initial pisstake response

But it's clear from your summation you don't even believe what you are selling

This x 1000

casuals will casual

You're talking about yourself right?

 

[SuperAlly]

I think people dismissing Gane do so more to delegitimize Jones as a HW champ. If Jones hadn't man-handled him so easily on the way to a win, they'd still be talking about him like they did before their fight. I seem to remember predictions that he'd expose Jones.

No one could beat him until Ngannou did it, because his striking was that much better than everyone else, and even Francis chose to go for the wrestle-fuck decision path rather than stand and trade with him, which I thought was telling and somewhat remarkable.

He's very good. So is Aspinall. Aspinall has more ways to win, so I'd have to say he's favored. If Gane can keep it on the feet, mostly in the middle of the cage, and can keep it at distance, that's his path to winning.

I think people keep propping up Gane as a way to legitimise Jon's HW "run", he'd already been badly exposed as a one dimensional kickboxer by a 1 legged, 1 kneed Francis yaddi yadda yadda
