pre-ufc Ciryl Gane was way more agressive.

Didn’t GSP finish all of his opponents pre-UFC? It’s almost like there are levels to this shit???

That's because he's not fighting cans anymore

He wasn't fighting cans then either.
His pre-UFC opponents had a combined record of 17-2.

Those HWs in this video are either tough SOBs, or Cyril has no power. Majority of shots landed clearly, but these guys just didnt go down.

It's the first one. Dyczka has an absolutely insane chin.

Roggers and Bobert aren't exactly the best though, Souza gets creamed by HW prospects more often than not. Dyczka is as good a win as any outside of a big org however.

Regional HW is just such a mixed bag that even decent records on paper can be deceiving and vice versa.

Damn. Didn't know that, his rise to the top has been so quick and he's handling suprisingly well.
Thanks for that piece of info.

That is the case of 98% of fighters thanks to fans who label fighters as washed up or cans when they loose once in 10 years.
Nobody can afford to take the same risks as in smaller orgs.

To be honest though if I'm Ngannou I think those fights do seem to offer some hope, when Gane gets aggressive he does get less technical and more brawlerish.
