Pereira vs Gane

I am going to make a bet. I might even be wrong.

Gane does not belong in the same league as Alex P.

I am betting that Gane gets KO'd violently in the very first round.

I think Gane is getting underestimated in this fight. Ngannou, Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa couldn't knock him out.
He fought beasts like Volkov and Aspinall and looked quite good.
I'm picking Gane in this one.

I could be underestimating Gane. I was going by his performance with Jon Jones.

Could go either way, obviously, but leaning towards Gane in 3rd or 4th.

Wow. Very interesting. I am seriously thinking Alex will go Chuck Liddell on Gane Tito Ortiz and light him up on the feet.

Alex has that killer mindset.

Yes Jones is a beast. Pereira will not be able to do the same as he doesn't have the same grappling skills. However, he can KO anyone so who knows. Maybe he will make it. But Gane is a very technical striker.

Already placed some bets in parlays going either way. I am retared tho, as look for too much risk I guess. But makes it fun.

Both Alex and Gane look like they are both in excellent condition.

BTW, this is Alex's normal weight. All of his fights before, he had to drop weight, severely. This tells me when he hits, it will be lights out.

Both great athletes. I just think when look at these mma dudes in general, they look like shit on their feet compared to real boxers, even the great mma ones.

Alex is great and can certainly touch anyone and close it, but look how sloppy he looks vs a boxer.....hands down all the time etc. Gotten knocked out by a relative twink.


Pair that with someone used to moving around at the weight, keeping distance. And probably can take a punch or two as well.


Anything can happen - noticed these ppl's fight iq's are so low sometimes that you never know what you'll get.

Very good points. LOL @ twink. So true that most MMA fighters lack elite boxing skills.

This fight will be a decisive fight for Alex as a heavy-weight and a decisive fight for Gane.

I'm rooting for Gane, my brain tells me Pereira is likely to win, but I'd love to see Gane KO him.

Also, hope Topauira gets KO'd. He is a greater fighter, but I love seeing cocky guys lose.

I hope Lewis can KO Hokit, because Hokit is just pure cringe and annoying.

And finally, I'd like to see Sean O'Malley win

I am for all that, but I am cheering for Alex because this is his natural weight and he can throw. I'm not sold on Gane, yet, but my MMA precitions suck.

You guys were right about Gane. I was wrong about Gane and Alex.

You cannot really compare the boxing of mma fighters or even kickboxers/MT fighters to that of elite boxers.
Firstly the boxer obviously spends more time developing his boxing skills and the other fighters have to train the other aspects of the game (kicks, clinch, grappling).
Secondly, what maybe looks like shit technique to a boxer, has a reason in MMA or Kickboxing/MT. The low hands are great for takedown or kick defense. Having a high guard like boxers makes you susceptible for double leg, single leg takedowns as you can't sprawl fast.
Also the front foot heavy boxing stance is a problem. It allows you high mobility in the upper body and great head movement. With low and calf kicks involved, your front leg will get chewed up though. You can do it occasionally to get out the way but if it gets predictable, your opponent will blast a hard low kick and you will have to take it with all your weight on that leg.

To the fight: Yes I predicted Gane to win but I was still surprised that Pereira didn't really get of anything except maybe one punch.
He seemed very hesitant in there. Maybe he got rocked early and was surprised from the heavyweight power coming at him.

Good points.

I made the comparison, not as expect mma fighers to be at the level, but just to point out the obvious difference in these days of crossovers, gimmicky fights, and the belief by many mma fans that their favorite strikers are great just seeing them hit bags etc. Plus had 2 6 packs at the time. :)

Will rep on r/c.

I agree with Alex. He didn't have the killer look in this fight that he had in the previous fights. He didn't throw and he didn't look confident, IMO.
