But I know In combat sports speed is king and Gane is one of a million. Hits precise, amazing footwork, super slick, etc. I literally get Anderson Silva vibes from him. Even the hardest hitter in the world can’t do anything if he lacks The speed and conditioning to land.

    Rob is such a loveable fighter, and in the middleweight division, he has only lost to the champion twice, of which one of those loses was insanely close. That being said, you'd expect that he should have an ick towards Adesanya when he speaks but I watch most of his interviews and no one sounds as respectful and as intellectual about the champion like Rob does, he's such and enviable character and I'll always be an admirer.
