Gane wants to take a few months off for family reasons

[Substance Abuse]

UFC 270 Stipe vs Blaydes for the new UFC SILVER BELT HW CHAMPION.

I'M IN!!!! LOL

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

A few months could 2, 3, 4 months. That's normal time to rest and relax with the new baby coming, I don't see any issue in this.

 

[ocfightfan]

Ngannou most likely won’t be fighting until next year lmao.

And we just had a thread celebrating his potential to be the first HW champ to give us frequent fights.



Time for another interim title fight. Make it happen Dana!

 

[Diktaattori]

Just give em all belts, surgeries and vacations

 

[Deathbycalfkick]

Say it ain't so. You mean these are human beings who are not obligated to sacrifice their personal lives for the blood lust of random window lickers on the internet?

 

[Sad Dad]

Ope Dana better make and interim interim belt let’s go. Gane clearly doesn’t want to fight and is a coward and he’s clearly no longer the best in the world.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

Back by the end of August, or we do an interim-interim title shot.

 

[JT RIPPER]

Interim interim sounds like the move to make

 

[CasualBot]

STRIP HIM !!

 

[iwantgsp]

Next year is only 5 months away. And he said he's open to fighting by the end of the year.

Shertards are expecting Gane to fight again in 6 weeks. lol Ngano shills.

Of course most Sherdoggers will ignore that he has a pregnant wife and this is why he wants to take time off. Having a child is important to some people. Also this doesn't rule out an end of the year title unification bout.

they're egocentric brats

Wrong. Francis was waiting for Jones and then when Lewis was offered he asked for six weeks. They immediately booked Gane/Lewis and created an interim title.

why did he need an additional 6 weeks? he had already had months off after taking no damage vs stipe. so youre saying he would have fought jones sooner but for some reason needed an additional 6 weeks for derrick lewis? he would have flew back from his holiday and immediately fought jones on 2 weeks notice? how does that make sense? he was obviously just stalling and trying to sit out. they were already talking about the derrick fight immediately after ngannou won the belt so it was hardly a surprise. ngannou did not want to fight until september at the earliest which is 6 months

 

[ID0ntTap]

Bon ducking

 

[Kb7]

not even surprised.

 

[Poser Caust]

If UFC wasn't so greedy they could have waited a month and made ngannou vs gane next month and they wouldn't have this problem. By the time they do this fight Ngannou will have sat out another entire year waiting to fight after already sitting out a year to fight stipe

 

[The Witcher]

- wants to spend time with his baby

Sherdog

-‘what a piece of shit’

 

[SuperNerd]

Congrats Gane

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

Ngannou most likely won’t be fighting until next year lmao.

Gane just got the biggest payday of his career plus 50 g’s. He’s in a very strong negotiating position as well. Ngannou and Gane should gameplan with each other and ask for millions in guaranteed money plus ppv points to unify the belt that Dana forced. What the fook is Dana going to do if both his champs hold out for big $$$?

Gane plays this right and he’s filthy rich within the next 12 months. Enjoy the fam Gane!

My opinion on this is if you want to be the champ that's the job. No off time, it's not your championship, but the promotion's and world ranking. Same in boxing or tennis, one man sports. If you take time off you lose your ranking. Question here is acceptable range. Because over 6 months it's like Stipe.

 

[TUFNewb]

A well deserved break for the champ. Let the man enjoy his new family I say. Dana can sit on it and rotate.
