Does Ciryl Gane Punch Harder Than Francis Ngannou? How Does the Former UFC Interim Champ’s Strength Compare to That of PFL Star?

The UFC Paris ended with a superb victory for the Frenchman, Ciryl Gane, over his Moldovan opponent Sergey Spivak. Gane’s previous outing resulted in a crushing defeat against the current UFC Heavyweight King, Jon Jones. But, he retraced his way back to winning books in the recently concluded UFC event in his home country. ‘Bon Gamin’ finished off his opponent with a barrage of strikes in the second round of the bout, earning himself a TKO victory. But a recently surfaced video showcased Gane enjoying his victory after the conclusion of UFC Paris.

‘Bon Gamin’ alongside the UFC commentator, Michael Bisping, went for a punching strength test as they struck the bag of a punching machine. The video also showcased Gane’s next possible opponent, Tom Aspinall, accompanying them. But it could only cover the ratings of the punch from ‘Bon Gamin’. After the Frenchman’s punch, the meter showcased a reading of 95.2. While some fans might get stunned to see the power in Gane’s punches, others might be wondering whether he punches harder than the famed former UFC champ and current PFL icon, Francis Ngannou, who is widely regarded as one of the hardest punchers in the entire sport of MMA.

The video showcased ‘Bon Gamin’ getting into a proper stance to throw his best punch possible. The bag also gave out an explosion-like sound when Gane finally hit it with all his might. ‘The Count’ standing beside him looked pretty impressed by his strike.

Apart from the 95.2 rating from the punching machine, Gane’s MMA record can also serve as proof to realize his punching prowess. Currently, the 33-year-old holds an overall record of 12-2 in his MMA career.

He has achieved six out of those 12 victories via means of a KO or a TKO which is a thoroughly impressive record. The stats also indicate that 50% of Gane’s total wins have come primarily due to his heavy punching power.

Although there’s no doubt that his record bears testimony to superb punching prowess. But, the widely regarded hardest puncher in MMA, Ngannou, can nowhere be underestimated looking at it.

Has Francis Ngannou achieved more wins with his punches than Cyril Gane?

The noted former UFC Heavyweight champ, Francis Ngannou, didn’t have an easy childhood. He used to load sand into trucks with shovels from the tender age of 10 years. This gruesome task developed him into an incredibly powerful individual with fierce strength in his hands. It’s probably Ngannou’s years of hard labor since his childhood that has turned him into the fierce puncher we know today.

A look at ‘The Predator’s overall MMA record will reveal that he currently stands at 17-3. However, it also says that 12 out of his 17 victories have come through the means of a KO or a TKO. Winning such a healthy percentage of his bouts by a KO or a TKO clarifies the fact that ‘The Predator’ backs some vicious power in his punches.

A comparison between the ‘wins by TKO’ percentage of Gane and Ngannou reveals that the latter will top the former with a healthy gap. While Gane’s ‘wins by TKO’ percentage stands at 50%, Ngannou leaves him far behind with a percentage of 70.5% ‘wins by TKO’ out of all his victories. Hence, a lot of fans might adjudge Ngannou as a harder puncher than Gane.

However, the same can never be documented since the situations and opponents were different in both cases. Hence, the only way to answer this question is to make Ngannou hit the same punching machine and record the ratings that come out. Would like to witness this contest?
