Gane wins by TKO in 5th - According to Grok AI

RockyLockridge said:
but WHY?

it makes no sense, We know cryil is a High IQ tactical fighter why would him winning a decision shut the world down? Why does everyone view this as a forgone conclusion? Why am I almost certainly going to troll the ever loving shit out of aspinalls fans if he loses??

I know I have a feeling Gane will win a decision as well, but its more about Jones than anyone else, people will be fuming lol. I'm not convinced Tom has lots of fans (sure in UK) but I think its more about seeing Jones down. I know people will be mad on here if Tom loses because of Jones.

I have no clue why they feel the need to place that expectation on anyone. So what if gane loses to jones and beats tom? Maybe toms not a can AND gane is not a can. maybe they are both good fighters anyway regardless.

It's crazy to me that they dont want to give jones the credit. When Jones beat Gane, Gane was the best HW on the roster. No debate. the simple fact he's fighting tom again, and it's really the only HW fight (outside almedia) that makes sense Goes to show that Gane is a worthy opponent and a championship caliber fighter.

It seems like a ridiculous length to go, all for the sake of making sure Jon isn't given his flowers.

Just putting this out there...

If jon and tom both finish gane...
He wasn't "the best HW on the roster"
Which was the whole point to this.

Jon ducked Tom because Francis laid on Gane.

Side note...

Love that genius Grok claims:

Tom ko'd Volkov in 17 seconds...
<mirkosmile>
when it was an armbar.

Top notch, Grok. Top notch.

Yes he was. what happens in the future doesn't erase the past. When Gane was given the fight, He was the number 1 fighter in that division and the most deserving without question. I guess "Best" was a misleading word to use. "Most proven" may have been better phrasing.
 
It looks like ChatGTP is smarter than Grok:

Tom Aspinall by TKO (ground-and-pound) in Round 2.

Why I’m leaning Aspinall
  • Explosive starts + finishing threat everywhere. Aspinall owns the fastest average fight time among UFC heavyweights and one of the highest knockdown rates in the division’s history, reflecting how quickly he converts pressure into damage.
  • Efficient, accurate offense. He lands a ton (8.07 SLpM) with elite accuracy (67%) and solid defense (65%), which pairs with his speed advantage.
  • Grappling edge. We’ve seen Gane struggle when elite opponents forced clinch/takedown sequences (Ngannou’s wrestling, Jones’ quick submission). Aspinall has real submission chops (e.g., straight armbar of Volkov) and can mix takedowns with boxing to create a finishing sequence from top.
  • Form & momentum. Since late 2023, Aspinall blitzed Pavlovich and then stopped Blaydes to cement top status, and he arrives as the defending champ here. Gane rebounded with wins after the Jones loss, but this is his third crack at undisputed gold.
How the fight likely plays out
  • Early feel-out at range: Gane’s footwork, jab, and kicks can keep him safe for stretches and may draw out Round 1. He’s very accurate himself (61% striking accuracy) and hard to hit clean for long.
  • Momentum shift via clinch or level change: Aspinall’s speed lets him close distance behind fast hands; once he forces an exchange on the cage or hits a reactive shot, top control and heavy punches can snowball. From there, the champion’s finishing instincts take over.
Bottom line
Gane’s best path is a disciplined, mobile kickboxing match over five rounds. But given Aspinall’s blend of speed, power, and opportunistic grappling, I think he eventually pins Gane against the fence, drags him down, and pours on strikes for a Round 2 TKO. (Fight is UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane on Oct 25, 2025.)

And even Copilot AI is smarter than Grok:

Prediction
Winner: Tom Aspinall by TKO.
How: Ground-and-pound or strikes after a late first-round knockdown.
Round: Round 1.

Rationale
Tom Aspinall has an overwhelming pattern of early finishes in his career and has repeatedly ended fights quickly, so striking power and explosive starts favor him in early exchanges. Oddsmakers list Aspinall as a clear favorite, which aligns with his finishing profile and physicality against a more rangy, technical striker like Ciryl Gane. Advanced matchup models and expert breakdowns also favor Aspinall’s probability of a finish based on pace, power, and grappling leverage.

Alternate outcome to watch for
If Gane successfully keeps the fight at range, uses superior footwork, and avoids early damage, the most likely alternate result is a decision win for Ciryl Gane by late-round control and volume striking.

Yeah im just fuckin around about "best on the roster" ... is just ducking Tom... The best on the roster.

Unless Gane schools him on the feet.

Which i lean toward "unlikely to occur" longer than a round (which he will take off Tom at some point). Or, Tom finishes him quickly.

Jesus, i think i just Grok'd.

I disagree. Toms only path to winning is grappling. If he stands infront of gane for 25 mins he's getting outpointed for sure. I see this fight as 50/50 for this reason. If tom thinks he can stand with gane and ko him he has another thing coming. it is FAR more likley that Gane wins a decision against tom than tom KOing Gane on the feet. Tom subbing gane is the most likely outcome *on paper* but it depends on how aspinall chooses to approach the fight. If he wants to "make a point" and stand with gane he will lose.

My Advice to aspinall, Dont be a hero. Just take the path of least resistance.

Totally makes sense.

I said finishes quickly, whether sub or ko.

Asppy Advice is spot on.

<thisgonbegood>
 
As a proper just bleed fan I always find it weird the way people will root for "the guy who can win if he can make the fight completely suck and be brutally boring" rather than the guy who stacks bodies.

Anyway.

Round one. Face down ass up TKO


From which you should already know, Aspinal and still.

If Palhares were younger, he vs. Vos would be perfect. Two cavemen who both look a little "special."

I wouldnt even be all that shocked if Tom took his head off standing tbh. He has better boxing, is at least as quick if not quicker, has way more power and is very aggressive. We've seen Gane get rocked by Tai Tuivasa and have competitive stand up with Volkov, this idea that hes some untouchable striking savant is a little overblown.
