The reason Cyril Gane has little chance against Tom Aspinall

[Captain Herb]

Cyril Gane is a terrible student in that he applies himself to the things he is good at but neglects the things he is not, (don't ask me how I know this). Cyril gravitates to what comes easy and avoids situations where he can't be the best with only minimal effort--In other words he is a prima donna. But he is a natural athlete, elite for his size, and a striking prodigy, so he excelled in kickboxing. Unfortunately, there's no money or fame in kickboxing so he moved on to MMA. Ok, but the problem being, he's not a natural grappler, grappling being essential to the sport, and has zero interest in putting in the long and hard work it would take to become proficient. In true prima donna fashion he profited from favorable matchups and rode it as long as he could until he was brutally exposed by an old, slow shadow of a former champion who's wrestling had devolved to the point where he couldn't even take down non-wrestling Light Heavyweights.

Tom Aspinall is the complete opposite. He's not the best at anything but he has the drive and dedication to be the best overall. He's the student who isn't as smart or naturally gifted but he puts in the work that others won't, ultimately getting the better grades and achieving a higher degree of success.

Unless Cyril Gane has completely changed his nature, I don't see this going well for him.

What does that novel have to do with the fact that Tom is a fellow striker and will be striking with Gane?

So, this is all based on magic/psychic mind reading?

Or have has this person been offering services at a cut rate since Bill O'Reilley got dumped by Faux News?

 

[Ibm]

Gane will pick Tom apart.

Whenever I see the, "________ has little to no chance" threads, I always get a chuckle.

Folks never learn.

Should we bet the house?!

[Captain Herb]

Should we bet the house?!

Your mom's house? Definitely.

 

[Captain Herb]

That's the equivalent of starting your final paper the night before it's due. (To follow along with my excellent analogy)

So gane by spinning piledriver into a peruvian buttlock toe jam hold?

Like he struck with fellow striker Volkov, right?

 

[Deceasedxo]

You don't know or train with Gane my dude. Everything you said is just shit you've come up with in your own head. You don't know what kinda student he is, you don't teach him. He's most likely gonna lose to Tom because Tom is the better overall MMA fighter from what we've seen so far from the two.

Tom fights as a striker first and foremost. He goes in there looking for a KO

Taking the fight to the ground is a VERY distant secondary gameplan.

Sherdog continues the bad habit of analyzing fights how they want them to go instead of how the fighters actually fight. Tom is the favourite due to his potential to make it a possible grappling fight, but he’s going in there to try and KO Gane. Not shoot in 5 seconds like Khamzat
