Didn't help that Gane was kicking his leg off either.
Sorry Nolan…Lesnar went from first UFC fight to holding the belt in 9 months (and only 1.5yrs from his very first pro fight)
Don't get lost in the stats. I'm talking about his athletic ability to get in and out at will.
Kharitonov would demolish Lewis.
Mitrione would probably lose by complaining about an eye poke, mouthpiece falling out, and groin shot from the previous round while a right hand is coming down the pipe.
I think the pressure played a huge part too. He looked off the entire time.
If Gane was so quick to tuck tail, and run from the slightest sign of Lewis pushing forward, imagine how he'd perform against Ngannou
i vote @PowerBottom
I'm not a big fan of Gane. He reminds me too much of an MMA Lennox Lewis, but I can't stand when people post shit like Derrick didn't show up or wasn't trying to win. He didn't have the opportunity to do dick. He was out-techniqued at every turn.
Just because a fighter isn't able to do something, doesn't mean he isn't looking for it or trying. It can often mean it is being taken away from him by a superior fighter. This happens a lot against wrestlers when they face a fighter who can control distance and has great footwork. It often seems like the wrestler never went for a takendown. He never did because there was never even an opportunity for an attempt.
Not everyone is Alexander Volkov walking straight into punches with his hands down even though he has the fight won...

You make a good point. Either way, I don't like him.
Did you see the drill he was working on UFC Countdown where he was bouncing in and out as his coach swung a tethered ball? You could see in the fight that movement is second nature.

A lot of people thought Gane would pop shot Lewis on the outside and elude. He eluded on a few occasions, but he was throwing really hard shots.
the guy could be finishing people with capoeira kicks and i still wouldnt like him based on the fact that he is french
and it was a real UFC title.
I'd give him a little more leeway if he didn't fight like MMA Lennox Lewis. Thank you for that
@Haulport
That would be cool
He could gain favor by dusting Jon
Doubt it ever happens or that Jon ever fights a top HW
I think we can tell by now that Jones absence most likely has more to do with USADA than "giving up his belt" and "moving up to HW"...that narrative looks more ridiculous by the day

I'm starting to think that blue checkmarks don't carry as much merit as they once did.
