The reason Cyril Gane has little chance against Tom Aspinall

[Tweak896]

You also gotta factor in margin of error. If Tom fucks up, good chance he eats what Gane catches him with and the fight goes on. No guarantee of course (it's HW), but we've seen Tom take a decent shot from a much bigger punchers than Gane (Pavlovich).
On the flipside, if (when?) Tom lands there's a very good chance that's it. Everyone he's touched so far has crumbled. And while I don't think Gane necessarily has a glass chin, we saw Tuivasa (who has power to be fair) drop him like a sack of bricks. Good recovery by Gane (and Tai's follow up was spastic flailing), but if that's Tom dropping him I have little doubt that Gane is fucked.

Very true possibilities. But there is some context to the Tuivasa fight.... Gane was a headliner for France his country, and obviously could've taken Tuivasa down and done whatever or chill back and chip away to a decision, he instead got aggressive with him and paid for it. Still won the fight too. But yeah if Tuivasa can crack him, Aspinall too for sure, however I highly doubt Gane is going to go aggro like he did in that fight and Aspinall is going to have to get more clever to land.

Sure...but comparing Tai to Aspinall is night and day. Tai looks stuck in mud compared to Tom. Even if Gane is more defensively responsible, he may well get caught because he's gonna be facing the most dynamic offensive striker HW has seen in a long time. (Maybe ever).

True, but he stood with Volkov (who's mostly a striker), JDS, Lewis, Ngannou, Rozenstruik without getting knocked down.. I wouldn't say that it's crazy to consider Aspinall in a different league than those guys standing. And even until today, that was the only time Gane was knocked down in the UFC, he also was uncharacteristically aggressive to put on a show. If Aspinall does catch him it's going to be very impressive to me compared to when Tuivasa did it, I have to give Aspinall huge credit if he pulls it off and rate his striking as very elite.

All of those guys are good strikers definitely. They obviously just lack the combination of speed and power that Aspinall has. But Gane is obviously a helluva striker too so we'll see if his technical prowess is enough to overcome the offensive firepower he's up against.

Gane didn't get clipped because he was aggressive, he got clipped because he threw his shit lazy. Just like he got taken down because he threw a lazy jab at Jon Jones who was waiting for it like a shark in a fish tank. I don't know why a top level striker would do that except for maybe arrogance that no one matches him in that category, so he can get away with anything? Hopefully he's learned something or it's going to be a short night for him
