Tom Aspinall: How Ciryl Gane is different from most heavyweights

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

​

Tom Aspinall believes Ciryl Gane will pose a threat like he has never faced before.

Aspinall (15-3) is scheduled to defend his heavyweight title against Gane (13-2) in the UFC 321 headliner on Oct. 25 at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. While Aspinall doesn’t want to pressure himself, he believes Gane is a kind of matchup he has never faced before. Aspinall notes that, unlike most heavyweights, “Bon Gamin” is fast and slick. “Honey Badger” believes both parties must be burnt out for him to touch the Frenchman.


"I think this is just another fight for me… Ciryl is really good as well,” Aspinall said on the ShxtsnGigs podcast. “He brings a whole new challenge that I’ve not really had before. His style is different from a lot of heavyweights. He moves really well, he’s nimble, super fit, super athletic. I think we’re both going to be in a stage where, to get to him, we both need to be pretty exhausted."

Aspinall finally got promoted to undisputed champ after a long wait when Jon Jones retired earlier this year. The Englishman has finished all of his Ultimate Fighting Championship opponents, barring an unfortunate injury against Curtis Blaydes, which he avenged in his most recent outing.

"he has absolutely no ground game"

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Gane moves well. That's his big advantage in the division. Tom is faster. Gane is fucked.

@BroRogan always felt different about being a heavyweight

But @don't ask @Luthien @HI SCOTT NEWMAN got him a membership at @Neck&Neck gym and things are looking up for the future title contender

TOM shold do what Jon Jones did: TAKE Gane immediately to the ground...... play it SAFE (just like Jon Jones did. Jon was not having any of the Gane striking at all.)

 

[Intermission]

hes different in that he lasted a mere 1 minute active battle against Jon Jones which makes his performance the weakest of anybody jon has ever faced.
