Gane has made the heavyweight division sit up in style and performance. We have evolved from one hit knockouts to men over a hundred kilograms fighting like eighty kilogram combatants. I knew Francis would confuse the challenger with wrestling over a one hit kill, I didn’t expect him to beat Gane completely using the skill.
Totally agree with you. He switched his plan after the outcome of the first two rounds.

Watched the match this morning.

Gane won the first two rounds, Francis won the second two. Gane got the takedown in the fifth and final round and made a tactical mistake, giving up his advantage to Francis.

Very close fight.

The rematch would be a banger if it ever happens.

Francis biggest advantage in this fight was not his power. It was his corner. I mean, those guys were telling him the exact right things to do, and to his credit, Francis listened.

I like both men but I'm a bigger fan of Cyril than Francis.

I'm happy for Francis. This is his last fight and he can leave the UFC and that vampire, Dana White. Dude only gets paid $600K when he can make close to N40MM in professional boxing having AJ or Fury as opponents.
That guy is no fit for boxing. Whether with Furry, Joshua, or any other, it's a KO.

Gane for me would win a rematch.

It was impossible for gane to win. Francis knew him too well.

Gane was scared all through the fight. He never advances towards Francis for once. He fought like a coward. His kicks were good though but he made the fight boring. I guess he was very scared of one of Francis fist landing on his face

I want him to fight Fury.

The match would be interesting and sells lots of ticket but Fury go win last last

When U have Kamaru Usman in ur corner, U must learn wrestling and grappling

Seeing him calls to mind the value of determination, and the support a country gives her own.

Say what you know please. That guy will likely knockout AJ.
And he can take Furry or Wilder to 12th round

Lol
Is this what you know? It was obvious Nganu was worn out after just five rounds. Boxing is 12! The same thing that happened to McGregor would happen to him. McGregor even tried to have lasted up to 10 round

☑️ West Africans, South of the rivers
Niger and Benue are taking charge
in UFCs.

Kudos..✌️✌️✌️


Not surprisingly, you never hear of
Northerners achieving anything anywhere
in the world. Even in Nigeria, they can
only rise through govt quota system. Dangote
who they always boast about is nothing
Without government backing that
put down competition.❌❌❌
Very sad.☹️☹️☹️

These guys fight on the influence drugs
Like cocaine and testerone influencing drugs

They can continue a fight even when they are bleeding from the ears and eyes.so am not suprised ngannou could fight with a torn knee.

Your name looks like warisi so I'm not surprised. You and I know that majority of girls in this country don't really watch sport, only few follow football trends. I'm really surprised that a girl on this forum is actually really updated on UFC events. If you should check this thread you will notice that she is probably the only lady that commented.

As for you calling me a simp, be like you dey ment oo. Na your father for house you dey call simp, unam ikot
