Here’s How Ciryl Gane Can Beat Francis Ngannou at UFC 270

The Frenchman, Ciryl Gane, has fast become one of the most popular fighters on the UFCs heavyweight roster. ‘Bon Gamin’ is one of the most technically sound strikers in the power-packed division and has the best movement in the division. With that said, many in the MMAs expert column have started calling him the pioneer of the new era of heavyweights.

However, the question of utmost importance is, is it enough to beat the baddest man on the planet? It is not impossible as the ‘Predator’ has been handed defeat before. One of the fighters who conquered the Cameroonian was none other than ‘The Black Beast’ Derrick Lewis, whom Gane defeated in his last outing. And the key to defeating might be the same strategy that fetched him the interim strap.

Although there may be a significant power difference between both the strikers, Ciryl Gane is not to be dismissed as weak. ‘Bon Gamin’ boasts of one of the best resumes in the UFC and has a well-rounded stats game as well.

How can Ciryl Gane capture the Heavyweight gold?

As is evident from his past fights, Francis Ngannou is not someone who likes to wait for his opponents and then execute a proper plan. ‘The Predator’ is someone who goes for the hunt and starches his opponent. And one factor that makes him more dangerous than other mighty powerful heavyweight is his speed.

Not only is the Cameroonian overpowered, he also couples it with his speed. So, the only Sureshot way of victory for ‘Bon Gamin’ is to make the fight boring and go the distance. The same thing he did to Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Gane needs to pick on Ngannou and take the match by the means of a unanimous decision. And that is the tried and tested theory as all three of ‘The Predator’s professional MMA losses have come by the means of unanimous decision.
