The reason Cyril Gane has little chance against Tom Aspinall

[BEATDOWNS]

he wont if he's smart

I have a funny feeling Gane will initiate the grappling then get stopped by Tom.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

He sucks! That’s why!

 

[BEATDOWNS]

The idea you have any sense at all about this when Tom's fights end in 60 seconds instead of 25 minutes of footage is beyond preposterous.

We all know Tom is very good in the 1st. We have zero idea what happens if it doesn't end there and he actually gets tested.

You guys act like you've never seen an immensely talented offensive fighter before. They ALL look good until somebody doesn't fall like usual... THEN we get to see their limits.

The numbers never lie

wat does he suck at?

 

[Gregoire1]

I think this cult is growing. And it could soon become a global religion. Only first defeat can save Asp from becoming a true Goat.

TDD, striking basted on how pillowfisted he is, cutting weight as he’d be bigger at 205 (but he knows he’s not good enough for 205).

Marketing. Fiji online soccer, using a platform…

What is he good at besides being French?

Tom is great for 60 seconds and 30 punches. Thanks mate, real clarifying on if that holds up

Gane can win if he avoids the ground game and survives the onslaught of the first two rounds.

IF !
​

Mannnn, that is a big, not just big but a HUGE "IF" .

Gane will pick Tom apart...NOT !!!​

Fixt.
Aspinal still has 2 main admirers salivating about wanting to taste Tom's manliness.​

Gane likely has put that picture of Tom away, but DuckLips Jon Jones will NEVER be able to part with his chicken $hit fightin reality.

Ufc cowardice, without Dana's HW protection, proved jones to be...jones.

"LEGACY" Branded correctly was a Coward woman beater.

Jon is STILL living his best life - a scumbag with absolutely no honor.​

Tom runs on the fear of disappointing his father. By far the best base for MMA… see Khabib, Machida, Royce Gracie, Sage Northcutt, and Raja Jackson.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

The issue with Gane is hes a striker who lacks power. If he could crack like Ngannou he would have been an absolute terror because his delivery system is elite, but instead he has to point fight guys to decision. It doesnt leave you with great prospects against higher level opponents who in many cases are going to have better grappling and/or more power, and thats seemingly the situation hes finding himself in against Tom.

 

[TOMFDJYEDH]

Aspinall by whatever and when he chooses.

 

[bjjwar]

Gane seems to be training hard this time. Before his last fights he was always at some pro video game session or competition. Now he seems to be taking this seriously. Fu** before Jones he was in some kind of football gaming competition and even Jones was like, is he just playing video games and not training at all? Now you see alot of footage of him training hard and wrestling.

 

[spinup]

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).

How do you know this?

 

[Aurelian]

It seems like almost nobody is giving Gane any sort of chance, not even his opponent. It's a HW fight and the atmosphere looks primed for an upset.

He obviously "has a chance". It's MMA, and moreover it's HW MMA.

There are just a helluva lotta reasons that Aspinall is a -4xx favorite.

 

[Captain Herb]

Ehh...he may well be the best striker. It depends on what your definition of "best" is. Is he the most technically sound? No. Is he the most effective when you factor in speed, power, timing, and accuracy? I think you could easily argue yes.

Pure striker, I think Gane is probably much better although in a mma context, maybe not

Yeah, Gane "looks prettier" for sure. He slides out of range more smoothly, his movements are more subtle. But yeah in MMA, effectiveness factors in a lot of other things.
Aspinall's accuracy in the pocket is really overlooked. Yes he's fast and powerful, but he still has to hit his target to make that matter. And part of the reason he finishes everyone so quickly is that when the opportunity to land something meaningful is there, he rarely misses.

His chin is probably underrated too otherwise he wouldn't have that confidence to stand in and take one to land two. But yes, when he lands his opponents get into trouble quickly and he lands a lot because he is so fast and accurate. He's excellent at forcing exchanges where he has the advantage, he's like Brock Lesnar fast swarming an injured opponent. If that had been Tom instead of Tai knocking Gane down, there's no way Gane survives that. I half expect Gane to get clipped and finished early but I'm also half thinking he might take a more patient approach to conserve energy and look for the takedown.

I'm expecting him to win, but the stage just seems to be set for an upset. This is Gane's last chance at a title. He could just be playing FIFA all day but he might shock us.

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

i think that he said between the lines that he has the same attitude and it's the reason he can spot it on other people.
