Ngannou vs. Gane will most likely end in a quick KO in Round 1.

It's highly likely that Gane circles around Naganu and picks/peppers his shots, annoying Naganu into bum rushing him. Either Naganu will catch him or he will get caught coming in.

Gane gonna do him BAD

I can't believe the disrespect Francis is getting. He KO'd Stipe in his last fight, who had just beaten DC back to back.



Gane looks good, nothing spectacular so far, and he might win but it's far from a certainty.

I'd say another big issue really is whether Gane can show a strong counter game to have Francis afraid to go after him, I suspect that was part of the reason he froze up against Lewis.

The Stipe rematch though is I think the best Ngannou has ever looked, I can imagine that version of Francis staying in the fight with Gane much longer rather than it merely being a case of whether Gane can without very earlyt pressure.

Just don't bet on this fight..?

I totally disagree and think the exact opposite. Gane by lopsided unanimous decision, might even be a TKO leg kicks win too.. but probably a decision.

No one really kicks in UFC HW modern day lol, but I noticed the very few times Ngannou did get leg kicked he didn't have a clue what to do, he auto started loading up, he didn't know how to check or block it. I think he is gonna get leg kicked to death and also many body kicks.

I don't think Ngannou is as clueless as you think he is. Against Stipe, Ngannou threw several good leg kicks and also nearly caught Stipe with a high kick.

Stipe himself doesn't really kick. We haven't seen Francis fight someone like Gane, but Gane isn't the only one with good kicks.

I've never seen writing on the wall more clear than this, Francis is not winning. He's always focused on and talking about the wrong things. he's too caught up about money and boxing. he doesn't really want to do this. this man is not a draw and cries about 500-600k guaranteed per fight. Gane wants to do this. you can tell by how Gane fights his title defenses for him.

Last time this shit happened (Francis vs Stipe 1), Francis looked helpless in there.
