Is anyone else secretly hyped about this weeks main event?

Probably the two most technical strikers in the HW division, one has movement like a LW and an underrated all round arsenal, and the other who utilizes his height and fundamentals better than arguably anyone at HW(particularly in his last 2 performances).

I actually think Volkov might get the upset but it’s very much 50:50. What do fellow Sherbros think?

P.S. I know Ngannou and Romero are thought of as freak athletes, but for Gane to look as well rounded and technically sound as he does, on the feet and on the ground, + having decent 5 rd cardio and potential KO power, for an 8-0 guy who started MMA at 28 and Muay Thai at 26, is he secretly a freak athlete (both mentally and physically)?

I think both of these guys could win the HW strap at one time or another. I slightly favour Volkov but I'm kind of biased, I always like the big long strikers who throw straight strikes and use their reach, but either way it's going to be worth seeing.
 
Make or break for Gane for me. Sherbros been hyping this guy up forever, to a concerning degree as well.

This weeks event will show who the the next title prospect is.

Here’s the thing. I think he beats Ngannou regardless of whether he wins or loses this weekend.

100%, Gane has potential, but Volkox is the vet and is a tough SOB.

If Gane can beat him without going to a decison, he can make a great claim for the title shot.

If Volkov does a number on Gane like he did to Reem, then I think we might see Volkov and Francis, if he beats BB of course. That could be a great fight

If Volkov runs through him we might see a Volkov vs Blades 2 or, maybe, possibly a Volkov vs Stipe fight.
 
Volkov is a legit UFC caliber MMA fighter. Still nothing to get super excited about. Gane is a super exciting prospect who hasn't really been challenged, it appears, in his MMA career including some UFC opponents. He could still get slapped by someone of Volkov's ability. This is a very very interesting fight to see where both fighters lie on the spectrum. I'm not picking either one of them, but rooting for Gane to add some excitement to the heavyweight division.
 
Why the hell did the UFC pick this time to air the card? I’d love to see it but the time makes no sense. Should be an interesting rewatch though.
