Is Gane the most gifted striker to ever lived?

For me it's Dan Henderson. One punch and bang your out. Head kick KOs. Backhand elbow with his kick caught and held above his head. Fought guys bigger than him anytime anywhere. Didn't cut weight. Hit like a mac truck. Beat the bricks off of Fedor. Scrambled like a madman like eggs bacon breakfast. A true America GOAT
 
Bad news bud.

The dude turned Wrestler, like seriously?
 
I assume you mean, striker that had taken part in MMA bouts?

And even then it's difficut, because lots of K1 greats had like a couple big fights in PRIDE or DREAM and then went back to kickboxing...
Like Stefan Leko, who got sub'd by a couple Olympic Judokas (Naoya Ogawa and KazNak, plus ol' Minowaman of course; I remember the Minowa bout in particular got some K1 heads to call bullshit on it being a legit fight)

Same for Badr Hari, who had one MMA bout in the early 2000s and got submitted in 10 seconds or something

Now that both Cédric "Le Meilleur" Doumbé, and Jimmy "Le Guépard" Viennot have gotten their first MMA bout in 2021, do they qualify?
Pound 4 pound, I would say that Doumbé is the better striker

And all of this is coming from a massive "Bon Gamin" fanboy, my post history doesn't lie; I've been hugging his nuts since he easily finished Adam "Kung Fu Panda" Dyczka in his second fucking MMA fight ever, that's huge!
Adamn was 12-0 and Gane sent him back to boxing where the competition is easier.

When it comes to Ciryl's muay thai credentials, I admit that I've only seen 2 of his fights... the famous one against Yassine Boughanem
(younger brother of one of the greatest farangs, Youssef Boughanem; he's not very popular around here though)
and when he beat French Brice "The Rico Verhoeven slayer" Guidon...

(here with his training partner Jérôme Le Banner)
But Brice was kind of on a downfall, and he retired right after that last loss (making him 2-9 in his last 11, but with 2 losses to Semmy Schilt followed by a brotal loss to Daniel Ghita)

Ciryl Gane could very well be one of the best HW striker to have competed in the UFC, but we'll need to watch more of him.
He didn't have much competition in muay thai at HW, even if Yassine gave him a tough fight.

Let's hope we can see a rematch with Ngannou down the road, their first fight was such a downer...
 
The "most gifted striker in history" couldn't beat a guy on one knee that hasn't wrestled a day in his life.

Ngannou is a wrestler now gentlemen! the most gifted puncher whose punch equals to a ford escort had to rely on wrestling skills to beat a Muay Thai specialist.

You can talk to Dana about all that, not me.

In case you missed it, the most gifted striker in history lost to a one-kneed Ford Escort.

Yea, let's see in a few years when the ford escort becomes another Mark Coleman. I was siding with Ngannou btw.
 
I don't care who you claim you were siding with. You sound like an emotional 12 year old.

You were the one talking shit, rubbing it in when I wasn't talking about Cyril at all. if anything you act like a 8 year old.
 
Exactly, don't say anything else because you knew you dug your own grave.



There's nothing else to say.

The "most gifted striker in history" got his ass kicked by someone on one knee and you're throwing a hissy fit because you can't handle your favorite fighter losing.

Ahhhhh, there's the rubbing in again. how's it feel? does it feel nice to be the king of the bloody castle, yeah I'm sure it helps you escape reality, very mature of you to call me an infant for basically calling you out for rubbing in things that people basically don't give two shits about. Ngannou won good for Him but you were the one who somehow out of nowhere wanted to show me that exact same picture thinking you're winning something but really you're embarrassing yourself. who's having the tantrum now from what I see you're not really mature for your age aren't ya?

Good lord. Get a hold of yourself. Yes, you clearly "don't give two shits".
