Who else is staggered that Gane is the favourite?

Well Gane has been more active recently, is undefeated in both MMA and Kickboxing/Muay Thai, and seems the more well rounded of the two overall. Although Francis does have more wins by submission.


Him being the favourite doesn’t shock me.

Whether or not he should be is another question. This fight is a very tough one to call.

Shoutout to everyone who will make a thread on here about how they are such a betting genius and use advanced algorithms to place a 5$ bet on the underdog francis through bovada

Relax, big shot, I'm just shooting the breeze. And its a surprisingly slow news day on here given we're on the Eve of a monster fight so I'm sure this thread isnt too much of a distraction .
 
Vegas was wrong on all three main fights on the nunes-Peña card.

Vegas does know what they’re doing though, will be interesting to see.

I'm not saying he's he's a lock or anywhere close but how can Ngannou be the underdog against anyone on the planet at this point? He's beaten everyone; & flattened them. He lost to Miocic, made the adjustment, & beat him back, so it's not like he's a one-trick pony.

Francis has been tested against much better competition than Gane too .
He seems to have a pretty good chin whilst having insane KO power himself, & that's a tough combination to beat. How's Gane gunna beat him? By schooling him for 25 minutes? That seems like a big ask.

Ngannou lost to Derrick Lewis. Gane beat the shot out of him.

Gane has lost zero rounds in his career. That's why.

In his entire career, he has only had a single judge score a single round against him.

This is Foreman vs Ali. Ngannou has the power, but Gane has the footwork, jab, and precision.
 
Not staggered at all. I do think Gane wins. Francis Gannosh can always KO anyone in an instant so of course you never want to put down money-- never put down money at HW-- but Gane can beat Ngannou if he doesn't make the mistake Stipe did in the rematch. Stipe will beat him too, if he does the same.
 
It makes sense to me. Gane is the far more technical and superior striker, and better overall fighter. I know it sounds fucked up to say Ngannou has a puncher’s chance—and he’s certainly the type of scary-ass puncher to cash in on that—but Ngannou is not gonna submit Gane I don’t think, highly unlikely to outpoint him, I’m not sold on Ngannou’s wrestling improvements fully and Gane has 100% TDD atm…
Ngannou must KO him early or Gane will make him look silly over however many rounds this goes.
A close line with Gane as the slight favorite seems perfectly logical to me.

Sure they did. And Ngannou was terrified.

Hahaha Ngannou-Lewis was such a dogshit fight you probably blocked it out of your memory.
A smart move, actually.
It was the co-main to Stipe-DC 1, at UFC 226.
 
i'm going Gane..I don't think he will ever be in a position where Ngannou can land his power..just like Lewis..he'll wait to capitalize on a tired Ngannou later on in the fight..anything can happen though just hope it's a good fight
 
Not really. Gane has been exceptional since he's started MMA. He's undefeated, brings an extremely unique skillset to HW, and the bookies always fall victim to MMAth, they see Gane schooled Lewis and Francis lost to him and think it means anything.

I'm leaning Gane but this shit is 50/50.

Lol, I understand why people think they have fought, but that wasn't actually a fight.

It was some kind of weird karate demonstration where neither guy was actually trying.
 
Both are facing a challenge they haven't faced before. Knocking out old, sloppy, bloated heavyweights isn't quite like facing the most technical striker and one of the quickest heavyweights in MMA history.
