Who’s Going To Be The Baddest Man On The Planet?

This Saturday, the UFC will crown the baddest man on the planet when Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane go head to head in a 5 round main event for the Heavyweight championship belt. This will be Ngannou’s first titled defense against a former training partner in Gane. Ngannou’s last outing was against former champion Stipe Miocic and looked very impressive and became the champion that night they fought. At the same time, Gane had a spectacular finish against Derrick Lewis in his last match. Both fighters are coming off great wins and look in the most excellent shape ever. I believe this fight will finish either by submission or knockout. Both fighters have not been finished in their careers, and one of them might be this Saturday. Ngannou has one of the most powerful hitting punches in UFC history, and Gane puts on a pressure that’ll make his opponents fold and give up. Even though these fighters are former training partners, I believe all that was just practice and doesn’t dictate the outcome of this upcoming fight. so I’m looking forward to how they perform.

They are entirely different fighters, in my opinion. Gane has a kickboxing/ Muay Thai style and is very light on his feet; he’s a heavyweight but moves like a middleweight, has very technical striking, and is very sharp and accurate. I think Gane will try and pick apart Ngannou from the outside and keep him at range. It’s terrifying for Gane because he has to be almost perfect. one mistake, and he’s waking up in the hospital. I believe he knows that too, so he will have to come in sharper than ever, and I do not think trying to win by decision and tire out Francis is a good idea. I believe he should look for a finish of his own because no matter what round it is and how exhausted Ngannou will be, he’s still very dangerous. I think Ngannou will be patient in his approach and stalk his opponent and look for bombs without wasting so much energy. If Ngannou tags Gane early in the fight, it’ll make Gane very hesitant and leave him open for a big blast. A significant factor in this fight is Ngannou’s counter striking. I think he times his counter punches so perfectly when someone tries to rush in on him. I think Gane will use a lot of push kicks and calve kicks to slow down and keep Francis out of distance to land his bombs; if he does get in any clinch situations, he’ll probably use his knees and elbows to open up Francis. Francis will be able to throw his own leg kicks because of Gane’s Muay Thai style leaves him open for them all day, and if Ngannou can slow Gane down just a tiny little bit, it’ll give Ngannou significant chances of landing a big punch. This fight is among two giants and will decide who’s the baddest man on the planet. There has been nothing like these two heavyweights in UFC history. They are scary and humongous, and friends turned into rivals; this is absolutely out of a fictional book, but it’s really happening Saturday, and I am looking forward to it.
