Poatan v Gane @ Heavyweight.

The Izzy KO is Alex's only true KO/TKO after cutting 50lbs, other times in his KB career, it was him getting leg kicked to death. Guy has a granite chin.
He got standing 8s before in kickboxing by Izzy. It's a stoppage if it is MMA. Izzy is not a hard puncher at all. Alex also got stopped by strikes by a juiced up former 154 lb fighter. Alex has been dropped by body shots but I don't think it is going to be an issue in MMA. It's just the nature of kickboxing. Everyone gets dropped and get standing 8s. I wouldn't say his chin is granite but he recovers well and has a good poker face. He has never fought HW in kickboxing before.
 
People here underestimate game jab power , his jab is nasty
 
Poatan would starch him. Guy got dropped by fucking Tai Tuivasa lol and I like Gane.

Classic Shitdog logic.

Guy gets dropped once - in a fight he otherwise dominated - by a big HW former professional boxer, therefore he has no chance against a guy who has been stopped twice at MW in MMA and has also been stopped twice in kickboxing.

Why does Gane getting dropped, and recovering, once by a HW puncher matter but Poatan getting outright starched multiple times below HW not matter?

Gane beat Francis on the feet. The same beast of a man who bullied (in the clinch) and dropped the lineal HW boxing champ on debut.

And yet you're absolutely convinced a former MW is just going to run through him on the feet at HW?
 
I would favour Gane to outstrike Poatan tbh. Too big and rangey, too quick and slick. Its a more interesting fight for Poatan at HW than most though, since it'd be a pure stand up fight.

Maybe Poatan would fancy his chances in the grappling lol .
