War Wagon Gane is going to shock the world.

[fzoid4454]

Gane was cruising to a win until he got dropped and put into a position where, if the opponent had been quicker or if he hadn't recovered so fast, it would have been over. But he did recover without any extra damage and went on to win the fight. There's no case to summarize the fight as "He cruised to a win". Yes, he was cruising at one point and he did eventually win but he didn't just "cruise to a win", that's stupid.

He outstruck Tuivasa 3.5X to 1. "if the opponent had been quicker or if he hadn't recovered so fast, it would have been over" pretty much categorizes every time anyone has ever been hit with a punch or a kick in any fight, ever. But Tuivasa WASN'T quicker. And Gane recovered fast. So how is that not to his credit? How does him being able to recover so quickly support your claim that he was desperately close to losing, and struggling mightily with what Tuivasa brought into the cage?

He won easily, he cruised, dominated and won by KO. He was in with a top ten HW on a five fight winning streak, in the UFC. This wasn't Kramer beating up little kids at the karate dojo on Seinfeld. There would be expected to be exchanges and moments for both fighters. Having difficulty for about 2% of the fight would still be cruising.

You had to stretch so hard to frame it as Gane having trouble with Tuivasa that they should have cast you in the lead role for the latest Fantastic Four remake.

He does get credit for a quick recovery but he doesn't get credit for getting dropped in the first place. Gane is a champion kickboxer and Tuivasa has no td threat. Why he was lazy with his punches and didn't cover up, I'm not sure but he basically made the same mistake against Jones throwing a lazy jab and paid for it that time

I think this is a 55 45 fight for tommy

I can see Bon Gamin retiring after this loss.

Yeah i thought the same thing when I read that retarded statement also huge exaggerations like "he was a cunt hair from being finished!" I guess every single person who has ever been dropped in a fight is a cunt hair from being finished.

You guys are delusional. He WAS damn close to being finished. It becomes kinda obvious as to who has never been in a cage, been hit, or understands sequences when you say shit like this.

When Gane got hit, he fell backwards into the cage--and read this next part slowly--his legs immediately lock up and he goes rigid for a split second. This is NOT a voluntary action. It means his lights were switched off, if only for a half a second. He then crashes back into the cage and (to his credit) recovers quickly.

That's not a "flash knockdown" or insignificant. He was rocked.

Okay dude, If gane was a cunt hair from getting finished, what was cheick congo against rothwell?

the same thing? a cunt hair right? Okay dude.

when silva got knocked down from chael I bet you thought Silva was on Life support LMAO

LOL and BTW, what you'd described is exactly what getting flashed is. and NO ONE said a flash knockdown ISN'T significant, It's just VERY OBVIOUSLY not "a cunt hair from being finished"

 

[SuperAlly]

Imagine trying to pretend this is "cruising to a win" and this guy isn't one good follow up punch from being ended



Absolutely ludicrous

False equivalence nonsense

Yes, claiming a flash knockdown in the HW division was a razor-thin distance from being finished is, indeed, false equivalence nonsense. Glad to see you're engaging in some self-reflection.

Well, Tuivasa jumped right on him and was hitting him with punches, so why didn't it end. I like the convenience of you cutting off that edit so we didn't see him immediately get back on his feet and hurt Tuivasa.

That's laughably phony, on your part.

Tuivasa has 14 wins. 13 are finishes. The guy has good power, even compared to HW, in general.

Expecting someone will make it through a fight against a top ten HW (which he still is) without ever being touched is more than a little bit of a ridiculous claim, isn't it? Especially since the knockdown happened as Gane was trying to lean away from the punch and the knockdown was as much about getting clipped hard while off balance more than it was about getting his wiring scrambled.

Usually the narrative if someone gets clipped and then pops right back up and destroys the other guy is about what a great beard they must have. But Gane? It means he was oh so close to death.

Except he wasn't. Again, he IMMEDIATELY got right back up and put Tuivasa in trouble.

Stop being a spastic mate

You can't deny video evidence

You certainly can when the video is clipped completely short and cuts out the part where he immediately puts Tuivasa into trouble.

That's a technique known as "propaganda," not evidence.

For definitions of "immedieately" that mean "30 seconds later." Sheesh. Gane got up pretty immediately after that but was still wobbly, landing a jab or two and eating a couple of isolated hard shots, until hurting Tuivasa with 1:10 left in the round; that video cuts out at 1:40 left!

Your brain is rancid.

 

[Stoic1]

A split decision for Tom is probably his best career move at this point. Set up the rematch in 2026 for another big payday.

Give it a rest mate, we all watched the fight and there's literally a video in here now showing Gane getting almost lights out KO'd. That's not "cruising to a win". There's no doubt he won the fight. But people are bum licking just defense when he let a guy with only a punchers chance and no other right to victory almost shadow realm him.

 

[wolffanghameha]

It would be cool for it to be competitive, but the Jones dicksuckers will get even more insufferable. Instead of enjoying the sport and appreciating every fighter, these slobberers turn the focus to whether their prediction based only on favouritism was right (in this case an MMAmath prediction, if Gane beats Aspinall).

Tom is supposedly great in the gym at kickboxing. I assume he and Rico spar for more than a few rounds. It's not the same as a fight, but I'd be surprised if it psychologically gets to him and has him gassing out early. It is an interesting striking matchup, if it stays there.

 

[Aluminati]

Gane is going to tap to strikes after a body shot.

I detailed exactly why it wasn't a "flash knockdown". I'd do it again, but you'd ignore it because it doesn't fit your narrative.
