I don't think the issue was poor wrestling on Gane's part (though going for that leg lock in the 5th was uncharacteristically bad fight IQ), Francis is just bigger and much, much stronger. At a certain point, strength and size cancel out skill in wrestling/grappling. I mean, Gane was still mostly able to get back up and never took damage on the ground. Was actually attempting submissions. That doesn't take away from Francis though, he absolutely had some slick, skillful takedowns.

Loss taken like a true champion. I like and respect both fighters but something so refreshing about seeing a fighter just take the loss admit they made some mistakes and recognise their opponents performance. A lot of fighters in his situation would say the usual shit “Oh well he just lied on top of me didn’t inflict much damage etc;”. I can’t wait to see what’s next for both fighters was impressed with ngannous ground game, for a guy who just knocks people out he did a great job on controlling the positions on the ground and scored some clean takedowns. Hope both fighters rest up and I hope ngannou stays with the UFC he’s really beginning to blossom into a more diverse fighter.

2 rounds, while fresher, trying to strike and get the KO. Fails to do it and gets the worst of the standup. 3 rounds wrestling and controlling on the ground showing his stronger and can dominate there. Cyril? “He did exactly what he has to do to win this fight, I want to say big congratulations to all his team.” Just a lesson to all itchy losers out there.

Very good representative for his Country! A man who was raised to be respectful yet has the fire burning inside to achieve greatness. A fan.

Francis was HUGE looking on the ground. It was hard for him to get back up but he did it first few times. Francis was like a locust berserker when he had him in the ground his arms are super long and the fact he body slammed ciryl just shows once Francis improves more he will he damn near impossible to beat. Next fight ciryl would have to go into the flames and risk it to get Francis next time or else he will probably lose again.
