Gane/Ngannou is the new Cain/JDS

Gane definitely has some a few good wins but he still has a long way to go.

That said, I think we're gonna see another Ngannou quick W.

Haven't seen anything from Cyril that looks incredibly good, tho his TDD is definitely solid.
 
Gane vs Jones and Aspinall are the figths i wanna see the most maybe Gus too
 
Nah mate.
Look what he did to Lewis.

But also, the reason Gane doesn't seem to be a hard hitter at first, is because he intentionally doesn't throw with much venom behind it, because it preserves cardio and he can score and slowly rack up damage while his opponents - who usually throw much heavier - tire themselves out.

If he does commit, he actually has very good power and this should be evident by the fact alone that despite almost 250 pounds of weight, the guy does flying knees as effortlessly as a bantamweight.
He throws woman punches when in close range, wrist behind his shoulder and all. Im not saying he doesnt have the skills, hes either not looking for the finish or hes incapable of getting a finish at the highest level. I would like to see what he does with someone with good wrestling... or someone that can check a leg kick.
If only Overeem was still around.

I'm trying to picture what a wrist behind shoulder punch is, but i can't form a coherent image... would you help out please? lol

Idk man, i stil think he concentrates solely on accuracy, which would also explain why he's got such decent/good cardio for his size.
 
I favour Gane to win, and also prefer him to Ngannou, but I think may have a path to victore if he does a wrestling based camp.

He concentrates on not spending energy, yes I agree. That does not mean he has good cardio, it means he doesnt want to risk spending the energy to finish the fight, hes happy being a point fighter.

I mean you can't expect such a big guy to be a cardio machine, right? So yeah, technically, his cardio might not be good compared to someone who's known for his cardio, but in reality, he does manage to win fights without gassing heavily, despite being a big guy, so i would say that a) his cardio is good in relation to his size and/or b) he's so good at pacing himself, that his cardio is not a problem.
 
With Chieck Kongo as the ref. The octagon would erupt with testosterone

Kongo in prime v Francis OMG would had been so good

Gane destroyed all the tops on HW without a scratch, he never bled in a fight he treated Lewis like a helpless baby in Striking.

he's a genius, the last test of fire will be when he fights a wrestler.

This is like arguing that Nate Diaz doesn't have good cardio because he doesn't put 100% into every shot. We've seen Gane in multiple 5 round fights and he's never gassed. He clearly has good cardio for a heavyweight.
 
I like how Gane went from almost being universally hated to being the GOAT and someone who is going to run through the division after a single fight.

He beat a slow as molasses Lewis. Let's talk if he runs through Ngannou. Gane is solid but I don't see anything magical about him other than speed and footwork.
