Ciryl Gane is a former champion, albeit of the interim variety, and he's one of the greatest all-round athletes in the UFC. He's fit, quick, explosive and presents numerous problems for his opponents. He's not a one-dimensional guy who relies on big-time power.
Ngannou, who could not come to contract terms with the UFC and parted ways with the promotion earlier this year, is arguably the most powerful puncher in MMA history. But he defeated Gane by outwrestling him, a tactic that drew Ngannou and coach Eric Nicksick much praise but also raised questions about Gane.
"I feel just as athletic [as Gane]. The standards in my mind are the same as they used to be. I'm expecting an Alexander Gustafsson-type war." He insisted that people who doubt his wrestling because of the loss to Ngannou are making a mistake. A, he said, they're not giving Ngannou enough credit by overlooking his wrestling and B, they don't understand what went into his preparations for the Ngannou fight.
"You look at a guy like Francis and what do you think the problem is?" Gane said."His striking. He has that amazing striking and that's what we prepared very hard for. Remember, I knew Francis [from having trained together] and I knew how good his striking was. So we spent a lot of time getting ready for that."
