I'm not sure I agree with a lot of the points raised here. Gane might never be a champion, but many a man comes and goes in this sport without ever winning a belt, it isn't the be all and end all of a career. Gane is a martial artist, not some pub brawler. He is there to be clinical and precise, not to just wildly flop his arms about and hope something lands. He is there to test his own skills against someone else, and sometimes the opponent is the better man, it doesn't matter. That to me is exciting, we can all learn from his displays of skill, see what works and what doesn't and we can learn from his failures. The UFC is a better place with him in it than without.

I think what got him in the ring is Jon Jones' aura, when he joined the UFC in france interview he said a few times he admired Jon Jones and he's one of the reason why he got motivates to switch from MMA. He got impressed he and he lost it really fast, a headlock like this is not devastating on your moral, it hurts to lose yes but Cyril is the kind of guy who copes fast realizing he made it up until JJ which quite the achievment already; how many UFC fighters would have had this kind of opportunity?

Interesting way you guys phrased it near the end. Big difference between guys who are *technically* very good, like from a literal basis they are very technical and skilled. Gane being a great example. But when it comes down to a fight with a KILLER, they fall short. Obviously angry beefed up guys would get smoked without formal training, but you get someone in there like Jones who is both highly skilled AND has the savage instinct in the octagon, very difficult matchup for a prettyboy clean cut fighter like Gane. And I like Gane too he’s a super likeable character, build of a champ, but not the heart of one.

After Jones beats Miocic, Pavlovich gets a bad case of food poisining the day before his fight against Bones. The reason ? The Russian machine is drinking vodka and not Howler Heads in the weeks leading up to the fight. Out of solutions, the UFC turns to the man, the myth, the legend, Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski who was supposed to fight on the undercard. It looks like Arlvoski is no match for Jones, the Belarus is getting mauled for all 4 rounds but with 30 seconds left on the clock and Jones on top of him, he manages to find the last strength left of his career and get Jones's achilles heel and submits Jones to regain his championship in the same way he did almost 20 years before. That's my story and I'm sticking up to it

tom aspinall fires his newly healed knee through the underside of jones' jaw in the 3rd round and leaves him gasping like a toddler falling off its first flat seat swing

It was the combination of Jones and Francis. Francis (whos a mediocre wrestler at best) managed to expose Gane’s weakness for 3 rounds even on 1 leg. Then, Jon comes in…outstrikes Gane for a minute, takes him down 2 times with ease and gets the easiest submission of his career on the #1 heavyweight.

A larger light heavyweight that is good at wrestling can beat most of the heavyweights in the UFC. We have seen this happen recently with Jon Jones and Jailton Almeida, in which the latter could be argued that he isn’t a true heavyweight and he still destroyed Jairzinho just by simply being a good wrestler. Elite wrestlers will always rise to the top by default because takedown defense and grappling, especially in this era, is absolutely abysmal in the heavyweight division.

there are two options he either manages to get ground game or he ends up as the next rozenstruik.

To me, heavyweight was actually - in reality - ALWAYS gonna be so, so, SOOOO much more a piece of cake for Jon than light heavyweight ever was for him, and even then, whenever he actually applied himself, even decently (at LHW), he was going to beat everyone out there, at least in the world we live in, devoid, as it were, of a TRUE match for his artistic capacity for fighting - he deeply understands how to be extremely damaging, extremely efficiently, to another human being - and that's a fucking ART. Sad he couldn't believe he could do so without resorting his own little nasty version of speed ("mother's little helper") - the steroids, which allow you to recover from anything, always, every single fucking day with straight-up miraculous impact, whether it's any kind OR degree of physical abuse and training, or almost any kind OR degree of alcohol and partying. That - THAT - would have shown his inner pussy, and all his inner failings, to the whole world. (But of course, he never would've been exposed to the world without the steroids lifting him above and across what-all would have OTHERWISE been his early self-destruction in life, anyway - he resorted at a young age to what is the "endless power-up" and the "endless extreme hormonal motivator" ... and combined it with his high self-esteem, his strong sense of identity, his own family's athletic pedigree and their high athletic standards, and his own inner visionary, creative, artistic capacity for severe damage to an opponent... not to mention the awesome and worthwhile benefit and advantage that the good green _rightly_ gives you/us, to connect to your artistic dreams... And, ALL together: we have the person, the life, the accomplishments, that we now know as "Jon Jones.")

His stock may be less in the future, things come up, something could go on and end up potentially being years before they go to France again so the smart move is, they are having a card in France (which im sure the location has been planned for a long time like most) so they will put their France guy on there.

In all honesty, there is only one major hole in Ciryl Gane's fighting, and it's obvious, which is the grappling. Sure, he has some submissions on his record; however, unfortunately, it isn't enough to compete with people like Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall, etc. I say these because these are very well-rounded strikers but also are very dominate on the ground. All in all, I still am a major fan of Ciryl Gane; his striking is so crisp, but he also earned my respect when he fought Tai Tuivasa personally was such a great way of looking at how different people participate in this sport. I say that because Ciryl Gane went out there with no trash talk, no funny business, nothing just went out there incredibly humble and, most of all, excited to fight he is doing this because he has a passion for fighting and loves it so much he was smiling and having some laughs with Tai Tuivasa mid-match. That right there makes me like him a lot tbh his personality and his great striking, all he has to do is learn to take down defense, and well, all there is to grappling, and he would be such a force to be reckoned with.

I think you guys are underestimating what a Gane vs Aspinall, or really, a France-England card, would be like US citizen wouldn't care, but people in France and England definitely would. People usually tune in and watch Rugby (even if it's not so popular) when it's a France England match, and fighting being fighting, anyone can get it.

No. No he did not.

Spoiler gosh 😅

Ganes respect for mma is zero one of the least hardworking guys we have in the top of the sport

Of course y’all gone hype Aspinall over Gane lol they need to let them two fight and we will revisit this topic

Gane looked at jones like he didn't know grappling was allowed

Why are y'all acting so casually towards MMA? I respect MMA ON POINT, but saying Ciryl will calf kick you for 5 rounds is mad disrespectful. Listening to this was hard, y'all sound like non MMA purists.

its fairly obvious that dana & co kinda shelved gane after the first title loss simply cause they built him up to be the Guy That Beat Francis, so for "redemption" they put him up against the greatest fighter of all time

They’re definitely attempting to set up Gane vs Aspinall

That guy in the red never says anything of substance, he just kinda curses and says some random thing. The guy in the middle always has to correct him or cover for him so they don’t look so clueless lol

Both great points but with JBJ throwing around the R word, it’s plausible that he’s next up, and I watch the fights cause I love fighting it’s such a beautiful sport

Wait what, why wouldn't you want to see Jones vs Gane 2? If he beats Spivak and shows that he's worked on his wrestling and his TDD by stuffing his takedowns, why wouldn't you want to see him get a second chance? The chance of him getting finished that quick and in a freak way like that are pretty unlikely so I still think it could be a decent fight. Everyone always mentions how he's only been training MMA for a few years, but then is also ready to say he's finished after his wrestling is shown to not be top in the division. When you don't have a background in it, proper technical wrestling and wrestling defense is the most difficult thing to learn and takes the longest. That being said though, he does need to train with or bring in a proper wrestling coach if he wants to get better. Someone like DC I think could do wonders for him. As for a killer instinct, a smaller part of it is his personality, but mainly it's that he just doesn't really care about fighting that much. To him it's just a sport and a way to make money, which is fine, but it's obviously not going to bring out a fire in him. It's also not a career profession for him, he wants to make as much money as he can and get out early.

Hype!

There's levels to it. Gane is above people like Lewis, rozenstruik about the same as Francis but not close to Jon Jones.

I actually think Ngannou is above Gane and on his best day, is a dangerous fight for Jones. The ONLY reason his fight with Gane was close was because Ngannou had a knee injury and was a shell of himself in the fight because of it, yet he still won. Not a great look for Gane.

My question is does the UFC want Ciyrl,Tom, Pavlovich or Jailton as there new champion? My thoughts are Tom.

Ciryl Gane is the Anthony Joshua of MMA

Yall calling stipe old just because of his last fight. If I had a dollar I'd put it on Stipe to ragdoll jones like no one knew was possible.

If Gane had been able to make the fight stand, he would have defeated Jones.

Good thing this isn't boxing

DC started at heavyweight, look up his numbers, he moved down to LHW because Cain Velasquez was at the time, the heavyweight champ. DC beat Josh Barnett in a five rounder. DC won the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix.

who beats jones at heavyweight: Hank Schrader, he's the best damn cop in New Mexico

Tommy Aspinall by Revenant Vitor armbar.

The way Jones won against Gane, made me realize he’s gonna dominate that devision for some time to come.

Must evolve to version 3

Derrick Lewis's flying knee has entered the chat...

no Gane no pain know Gane know pain

I forgot that fight happened. I guess my mind is just blocking Jones out at this point...

remember when cejudo lost to DJ and it wasn’t close then lost to benavidez then reinvented himself and took the belt off DJ. I’m not saying Gane can or will do this, we haven’t even seen the drive to do it, but it’s not impossible.

Gane doesn't need an outsized personality and he doesn't need American fans because he embodies MMA in France. Same with GSP or Zhang Weili. His problem is simply his lack of wrestling and grappling defence which will make success difficult. Edit: The "kill trigger" as you put it makes no difference here. It's not going to fix his lack of ground game.

To me, it was the Rozenstruik fight that showed me he was never going to be a champion unless he changed things up. Within 2 minutes of that fight, everybody watching knew it was going to go the distance, without any real jeopardy. To win a belt, you have to be willing to go and TAKE the belt, and not just coast into it, and that comes with taking risks.

@@DReynolds_OG Yes, but that's fault of the judges who are idiots, not fighters for fighting the best way they think will secure them victory

This fight will show how good tom aspinall is weirdly as he finished spivack in 2 mins easy with basically just an elbow and gane struggles shows how clear Jon and aspinall are

1 win over Aspinall and he’s back at the top again… Gane is a future champ

Sterling beefs up to 265 and wins with dq knee😂 the 2 time dq Champ Champ history is made

5:26 spot on

He's gotta stop hammer fisting people in the back of the head and learn to use a damn uppercut.

If anyone can come back and beat Jones at HW... It's the people champion, the undefeated, one with the biggest arms. Chael Sonnen.

Sergei has a very real chance of overwhelming Jon jones. Power mixed with wrestling ability makes me think he’ll get ground and pounded

Who beats Jones and how? Well in my opinion, Jone's weakness is gonna be the fact he's not used to going and fighting people bigger or same size as himself. So I see someone like a tom aspinall winning against him. He has very powerful strikes and most importantly leg kicks as Jones legs are pretty suspect and can also stuff takedowns or potentially even try and implement his own grappling which may be effective due to his size and crazy good jiu jitsu. Plus he's much faster and younger, one of the youngest in the division in fact. So yeah all in all out of everyone I think Aspinall would be the one to beat jones.

I think Aspinall can beat Jon Jones due to his technique on the ground. No doubt he’s much faster than jones, like you guys said he’s moves almost like Cyril. So with that being said if he can keep the fight standing or at least survive on the bottom I believe he can tag jones and potentially finish him.

Tom Aspinall, obviously. and by TKO!

All Marketing, Prime Crocop kills Gane in kickboxing

It doesnt matter what any of these heavyweights do..... SERGEI PAVLOVICH IS GOING TO BE CHAMPION

I think the only person with a chance is Tom Aspinall
