Ngannou vs Gane preview and predictions
This well-matched showdown between two former sparring partners has pundits divided right through the middle in their predictions for the outcome.
In normal circumstances it would be hard to bet against Ngannou, who has made short work of his his last five opponents with none of those opponents making it beyond the second round.
Despite having put away an impressive list of former champs, the Predator is facing arguably the toughest fight of his life tonight as he comes up against an opponent who has yet to taste defeat as a professional mixed martial artist and has the guile to take out the sport’s biggest hitter.
Who is Francis Ngannou?
The French Cameroonian fighter – the reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion – has been officially crowned the hardest recorded puncher in UFC history.
Having tasted defeat in his first title challenge against Stipe Miocic in January 2018, he then lost once again to a unanimous decision to Derrick Lewis.
Undeterred, Ngannou bounced back in exceptional style, stringing six KO wins together, culminating in a title winning performance in his rematch with Miocic back in March.
Who is Ciryl Gane?
Having won all ten of his previous pro fights, seven of which have been within the Octagon, Ciryl Gane’s ascent up the ranks has been as rapid as it has been flawless.
The Parisian former footballer and bus driver only made his MMA debut in 2019 but has already racked up big wins over solid heavyweight names such as Junior Dos Santos, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Alexander Volkov and Derrick Lewis ad now holds the Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion title.
With a Muay Thai background that has instilled him with a varied strike style, Gane is often a patient fighter that can fall back on his sheer athleticism to grind his opponent down.
Ngannou vs Gane odds: who is the favorite to win?
Despite Ngannou’s champion status, its the interim title holder who leads the betting, with Gane coming in around the 4/6 mark to take the belt, while the the Predator is currently drifting around 6/5 to retain his title with most bookies.
