I think Cyril Gane couldn't get up due to the weight difference between the two. I bet nobody except 1 or 2 guys expected this. With this Francis Ngannou's contract is over, his expired contract extends to one More fight because he's the champ but that fight hasn't to be right next to the Cyril Gane fight. He can have a mega combat with Tyson Fury and a mega contract with UFC or whoever he wants Head up for Cyril Gane because he's still the future of the division, if he learns from this defeat he would be champion don't have any doubts. Maybe he can fight Stipe Miocic in Case Francis Ngannou leave the belt vacant or maybe Jon Jones or any other top 5 if trilogy with Francis Stipe is made it

I have grappled for almost half my life. I think the first take down Ngannou landed was skilled, beautiful, and well timed. Not just a bulldozing slam. It took timing and or quick reaction time to catch the leg, hand and body positioning, and leverage. Definitely not just a power move. Reminded me of Rampage Jackson.

Wrestled for quite a while and definitely agree. Having the kick like that takes you having to adjust to their own center of gravity and balance. He adjusted perfectly, changed his hip position well and really just impressed me. The level change transitions in the entire fight looked clean. I was genuinely impressed. I also can’t talk on all the bjj stuff, but his hips looked really good during that. Also the way he handled situations with waist whizzer and arm whizzer. Everything he showed was great. Size plates a role, but he showed great skill here.

He never gave up. They would have to sleep in the woods for days, hunt their meals on their way back to try to cross the border again.

@@grimaffiliations3671 I completely disagree with the whole challenger vs champion bs. But i do agree that Francis easily won 3 rounds. But every fight should be judged objectively. Whoever is the better man wins. who cares who is champion or who isnt, the better man deserves to be the champion right? but yeah Francis won not arguing that

People underestimate how much strength helps in grappling. When your are that strong, a little bit of technique goes a long way.

U've got the Eye Bro! Great Summary as always! Questions?.....ANSWERED!!! ✌

That was something no one expected from ngannou. This shows how hard working this man is, He has improved a lot.

I think that, to be able to get most of these submissions against Francis, with his freakish strength, and his ability to actually straight-up _power out_ of so many holds - it's seemingly gonna take a heavyweight with the BJJ execution skills more on the level of a FRANK MIR to successfully exert their will upon Ngannou in that submission dept!!! 👊👊👊 (Even chokes might fall slightly into this category... i could now see the man willing his way out of an otherwise tight rear-naked that was even just a little over the chin - 🤔🤔🤔??)

Great breakdown thank you :)

I love this channel man

This fight showed me Ngannou should never fight Fury in boxing. He couldn't even touch Gane in striking His true future is in UFC, he can keep improving and keep defending his title for his legacy

Ciryl made a huge mistake trying to submit francis. In the fifth, when he took him down, he should have just laid on him untill the bell rang. He took a chance and paid for it. It does call for a rethinking of how much should we value takedowns without any damage. Should we encourage fighters to avoid taking chances and just keep top position?

I hate fighters that get the takedown and do nothing ex Brunson vs holland

It's exciting to watch someone exhibit the capacity to learn a new skill and then go out and demonstrate it. Francis has done it twice. People talk like Ngannou came out the womb punching. No. He had to learn striking, which he did. Then he learned the wrestling after falling short to Stipe, which he did. And then he came and sat the exam and aced it. Francis Ngannou has nothingg left to prove in MMA. Let him box if he wants.

The commentators kept saying “he’s just SO strong” NO he had amazing wrestling technique. Which is super impressive, it takes years to gain the muscle memory and to learn how to leverage someone’s weight against them. That’s a champion, when one mma aspect isn’t working, beat him with the next aspect. AMAZING 🙌🏻

Can someone clear some things up, according to the rules how much does ground control matter? If you’re landing strikes on a grounded opponent that’s obviously scoring and takedowns score too I know, but if you just hold someone down are you awarded points for that? I thought Fransis controlled Gane on the ground but wasn’t really doing much and Gane outlanded on the feet

I'm not too sure about what the rules have to say, but from watching it live, I'd say Gane didn't have an answer for Ngnannou's wrestling for the last 3 rounds. Ngannou was constantly trying to advance positions and mostly succeeding in getting to a more dominant position. So the dominance of the last 3 rounds by Ngannou, and honestly how light and ineffective Gane's striking seemed. Francis pretty much walked through everything like a Tonka Truck lol

Gane spent the first two rounds running away and doing outside kicks with no damage. Francis did more damage (look at Gane's face afterwords) landing three elbows in the third after he slammed him. You don't become champion by running away on the feet and laying on your back on the ground.

You have to update your impression of this fighter after damn near every fight. Builds new tools like nobody's business.

It was amazing to see Ngannou evolve as he has, but I personally still believe they give way too many points for just laying on someone because Gane was attacking with subs and strikes almost the entire time and Ngannou just held him. But it is what it is (that slam was sick af though)

Going for the heel hook in the 5th Rd was a huge mistake. Especially to give up top position. BUT, the earlier ones he attempted I thought were pretty good , especially now finding out Francis had a torn MCL and small tear in his ACL. If Gane would have gotten that in the 3rd, everyone would be praising him for going for it. But yea, who would've thought Francis would not only win a decision, but out grapple Gane. And he didn't really land any significant punch on the feet. That's pretty amazing.

Guys just accept their defeat I don't know why but Gane won in reality. He's just too humble. If weasle does the "who really won" video, it'll be a lot clear for everyone. The most i can give Francis is rd 3

Francis also clearly had an injury. If itnwasnt for the ACL tear we would have seen more strikes.

I really love it when fighters prove me wrong. It would be easy for him to get stuck similar to Lewis and still find some success for many years.

That shift to 257 may been a game changer

Loved every aspect of this fight! How did you view the 5th round? I felt in that round that Gane struck Ngannou and got the takedown. After getting the reversal not much happened, which made me question the round in terms of damage. However I can see the amount of top time giving Ngannou the round and I assume thats how it was judged.

Gane barely landed any damage cause his strikes were not committed. He got the takedown, but Francis swept him - which is considered the same thing. Francis maintained the most dominant position for longer, and landed some GNP himself at the end - basically equalling the damage in the round. When the damage from strikes is equal you move to effective grappling, which Francis clearly had more of in the 5th round. If Gane had actually landed some solid strikes he'd have an argument, but he barely committed to any significant strikes, and was content to try and point fight, and it cost him.

@@Neil-qg9cw while I agree he continued to point fight, I disagree about Francis landing any ground and pound in the 5th. Hit Ganes shoulder and arm a couple of times but barely threw. Theres no way that those strikes alone evened out what happened on the feet.

Gane will fight for the title again, and soon. The level of disappointment he showed tells me that he truly desires to be the best, and he was piecing up Ngannou for all the striking exchanges. If he can improve his grappling, that is just as scary of a heavyweight as Francis

Ngannou has turned into a super Kamaru Usman
