Let me guess, Fedor fans think prime CC will kill Gane?

[true_fan]

There's no way Gane could do what elite strikers like Kevin Randleman and Gonzaga did. Those guys are basically the demigods of technical striking.

<45>

 

[true_fan]

I was so excited to see CC in his UFC and DEVESTATED to see him get destroyed by the gatekeeper Gonzaga

Sadly it became evident that a lot of the Pride hype was just theatrics and some of the stars just could cut it in sanctioned fights.
Guys like CC and Fedor would get murdered by todays top HWs


To this day, I dont know what the hell happened to CroCops leg when Gonzaga beat him unconscious


View attachment 904606

They already did get murdered by the likes of Dan and GG

 

[mjfan23]

Kinda irrelevant cause those guys primes were over 15 years ago. Let’s talk about Khabib ducked Charles instead

 

[true_fan]

Sure. Gane is hardly well rounded. He's heavily reliant on his standup. Mirko in his prime was an absolute monster imo.

The guy answered ur deluded opinion with that photo of CC in another dimension

 

[LikeItIs]

It's weird how much Fedor bothers some of you snowflakes.

Embarassing.

 

[pick999]

Fedor beats both same night

 

[GUY]

Yeah dude, Gane's style is totally reliant on a cage.

Also if you couldn't adapt under multiple environments and styles, then you clearly couldn't have been much of a mixed martial artist. This isn't a plus in your supposed GOATs favour if they became mediocre as soon as things weren't exactly how they needed to be to succeed.

Exactly what is "mixed" if you're only good in a specific scenario?

Gane has more fights in a ring than in a cage. MT rules or MMA rules Gane beats Crocop. K1 rules I give it to Mirko

Prime Cro Cop on a big win streak, fresh off winning the OWGP, at 32 years old, got his shit pushed in by Gabriel Gonzaga and proceeded to subsequently get dominated by Cheick Kongo. He wouldn't be doing shit to Cyril Gane.

Gane's claim to fame (before fighting Ngannou) was beating Derrick Lewis. You know, the same Derrick Lewis that was defeated by a 43 years old Mark Hunt 5 years ago.
Here's the reality. Styles make fights for one..

Secondly, Crocop was already past his prime before moving to the UFC.
Thirdly, Crocop has faced better, stronger opponents than the likes of Gane or Ngannou in his career. (Or Gonzaga & Kongo for that matter)
Mark Hunt (in his prime),
Barnett (way better wrestler than Ngannou, better gas tank too),
Nogueira (better grappler than both Ngannou or Gane, prime version of this guy could take tons of punishment and had insane endurance).
Jerome Le Banner (Imagine a guy about the size of Ngannou, 122 kg (243–269 lb, only faster and better striker)..
Peter Aerts (better striker than Ngannou or Gane)
Ernesto Hoost (see above)
Aleksander Emelianenko (see above, faster than Ngannou in his prime and more knowledgeable in the grappling department)
Igor Vovchanchyn (more experienced than both Ngannou or Gane, wasn't protected by any of the organisations he fought for...was a better grappler than both Gane or Ngannou)

And there's a bunch more i can think of in both mma and K1 but i'm not going to mention them all.

 

[TR1]

CC is a much more accomplished kickboxer than Gane.

Sorry the truth hurts bug. Fedor living rent free in your pea sized head.

 

[HHJ]

Mirko's the man!

Fedor fanatics are delusional. Every single time a big HW fight is about to go down, or goes down, the Fedor crowd gets threatened for some reason, and makes a shitload of dumb threads.

Is normal.

I dont.

Its like making threads about oxygen's uses.

Tyrone,you silly fat bastard.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

Fedor fans will downplay everything and everyone to make Fedor invincible even though a middleweight finished him in Dan Henderson!
So tell me Fedor fans prime CC will destroy Gane, am I right?

Tell us you're a loser, without telling us you're a loser.

 

[djacobox372]

People like to talk about the "evolution" of the sport... yet last Saturday we had two french kickboxers with almost no ground game fighting for the HW title.

Igors grappling? I do not think he had any

 

[Yellowcrab]

After multiple surgeries and barely any training. Since you’ve brought him up, the Gonzaga from that night could probably beat the versions of Gane and Francis we just saw simply by taking them down and smothering them elbows.

Not even Mirko would dare to make such excuses, but fine :



Yet he still won everything.

But but but...

Fedor fans are in @true_fan ’s head rent-free

 

[TheNinja]

Putting a fighter's name in caps doesn't make them greater. Hoost got knocked into a coma by like 10+ guys in K-1 including a football player with no skills. Same with most of the other ones, who are from a different sport with pillow gloves covering up their glass chins.

Overrated Cro Cop had no heart and was terrified of pressure fighters and was too small. Fedor was the GOAT at losing to guys smaller than himself.

lol if you dont' think Aerts, Lebanner, Hoost, Remy were some of the best strikers ever. Now granted the gloves are clearly huge difference in defense. Most K1 didn't do well in UFC/MMA b/c of glove size and obviously threat of takdown.
to be far Sapp was sooo massive in a small ring with huge gloves he just covered up and was so hard to hurt without just getting blasted by 350 pounds of man muscle.

Back on topic. I think CroCop has a tough time with Gane. I don't think either has a huge advantage.
I think Fedor beats him. He's too well rounded and too fast..

 

[Choco]

Gane who started training as an adult man would kill those unskilled novices fedor and cro cop.

I don't care when he started training. (And he has more and better resources that Mirko ever did if you want to go the "what if" route). I like the guy a lot, and I generally dislike frogs, but this is a legitimate question. You can factor unrestricted PEDs vs microdosing, and it would be a genuine claim since Mirko responded so incredibly well to PEDs. But otherwise there is not much to say. Gane has only his stand up game going for him. And Mirko was way scarier on his feet.

 

[AB234]

Well, CroCop had a 26-8 record in kickboxing before joining MMA. He had wins over Aerts and Bojnasky, who are absolute legends of that era. So, yeah. Prime CC likely beats point fighter Gane in a stand up war. Right leg, hospital. Left leg, cemetery.

 

[kingmob6]

Gane who literally evaded the most dangerous slugger of our time will have a hard time with little CC? Height and size and strength and athleticism are all in favor of Gane and u r still spewing this is beyond me, all for the balls of Fedor???

Fedor was the smallest HW in almost every fight he was in. Size doesn't mean as much as you think it does.
