Stylistically this seems like another Gane vs Lewis but I think Tuivasa will try to turn it into a dog fight more than Lewis did so it will be interesting

@@simplytrolling6869 Usman will always be the superior wrestler, with superior punching power; but Leon will always be the superior technical striker, with superior speed & agility. In addition and unlike the smaller, shorter, and less mobile Colby, Masvidal, and Burns, Leon also is taller & more athletic than Usman. Leon also has the superior leg reach and superior Muay Thai that could end a fight at any second and that's exactly what happened. Remember, Leon also came close to subbing the big man on the mat, if not for Usman illegally putting his fingers into Leon's glove, preventing it from inching his arm deeper into Usman's neck, first round. Leon's skills are not "a fluke." If all Leon had were "flukes," the big, powerful wrestler would have EASILY put Leon out of commission in 8 tough rounds of fighting in which every tackle, every punch, and every kick from Usman was MEANT to hurt or to put Leon out of commission... as what happened to Colby, Burns, and Masvidal...

This gonna be brilliant,can't wait.
One year after starting training MMA first fight in the UFC. That is the craziest thing about Gane he has only 4 years in mma and in the middle almost 1 year off for a knee operation and for a puncture lung
These two are just the most contagious personalities at HW
Let's go guys may the best win and love you both
How on earth you're not gonna like Tuivasa personality? Cane is cool as well. Two nice monsters dudes!
Ciryl is one of my favorite fighters to be honest, not only his fighting style, but this personality, seems so easy going and positive. :)
It is nice when a fighter shows the coach so much respect and does that with the belt in UFC/Boxing. Most fighters know it all and a coach can't teach them anything some Fighters are like that. Sergey Kovalev comes to mind in Boxing he was like that with his Coach.
Wow i like both of these Beasts! May the best man win

"I'm from Western Sydney, we are the underdogs, now we're here. We stroll on in, and do what we do and we take the bag home, just another day in office" with that calm but powerful voice, waow, I got beyond emotional. I did not know you Tuivasa, you got me. Now I am in trouble, I love both fighters, don't wanna see either one loose.

Tuivasa va rentrer d'emblée dans Ciryl pour casser son jeu de jambes, son in and out, et tenter de placer coudes ou/et poings. Victoire par soumission de la part de Gane au 1er round ce serait magnifique

You people are not serious. I have been in France for a while week. I’m back in the U.K. this Friday. Now I hear there is a fight in Paris. But need to say to people who do not know. France is extremely beautiful. Paris, Lyon then Côte d’Azur - Nice, Monaco - Montecarlo, Cannes. Then we went to Grass today count de guillimard to create our own unique perfume scent. The fact that the sea water is warm is icing on the cake. Great time.
Tai is a BEAST! Not too sure about this one, it's going to be awesome!
Cyrl gone f that boy up.
