Against Ankalaev, Alex looked off. I don't know why or what it was, but Pereira just did not seem to be in the fight, at least mentally. Whether it was arrogance, lack of motivation, discrediting Ank, other aspirations, or really was a broken hand, something about Pereira just wasn't right. Ank won the first fight clearly, but I expect we see a different fight this time around.
Gane just doesn't seem to fight with any heart or strong will to win. Just seems like a point-fighter waiting to land his good shots. I won't lie, if Gane beats Tom or takes him to a decision, I will be shocked. I like Gane over most of the UFC's top-10 heavies, but Tom matches his size and speed, but with more power.
