    You have to take Gane down. He's got good speed, good variety of strikes and very good movement. Pereira looked in trouble immediately with a big ass dude like that circling and peppering him with shots.

    A lot of illegal shots there but it happens. He was trying to go to the side on some but still landed on the back.

    Called this happening, well Gane winning not the KO. As much as I love Mexican Monster this is what happens to him if he fights Usyk at heavy.

    That HW match was main event worthy

    Truth be told, Gane clearly lost the rematch vs Volkov just 2 fights prior to this one so he really shouldn't have even been in a position for a title shot so he needs to stop with that talk of fighting the champ Tommy Aspinall in France. Get your ass over to the tiny majestic isle of Great Britain, Ciryl, and make sure you watch those fingers when you do

    I don't like Topuria. He says he can be a boxing champion, so become one. If he could be a champ at 154, he is basically flushing down money staying at UFC.

    MMA fighters have more aura than boxers because they feel like modern day gladiators. However, like gladiators, they are also modern day slaves—at least compared to boxers.
