Alex Pereira - Cyril Gane

A lot of talk about this fight, Pereira put on about 40 pounds to fight in the heavyweight category;

My first reflex is to think Gane's body as a whole, muscles and muscle memory is natural in that weight category while Pereira is "brand new" so might be less efficient even if they have the same weight and may be lift the same weight in the gym, when intensity will be at its maximum I expect Gane to be much more powerful as in a raw power deep from the guts; of course I might be wrong as with everything in life and any bet one places.

Odds being 50/50 I take Gane without too much hesitation.

Actually when I first heard about that fight Pereira adding 40 pounds of muscle (steroids?? 40 pounds is huge) and I hadn't seen the odds yet I was expecting Gane to be a fav at around -200 not -115.

Yeah huge value on Gane, im betting him….plus he will eye poke Pereria once or twice. That said Periera is probably dangerous at any weight class, we’ve all witnessed what he can do when he connects

So we agree it's not me who missed something or is crazy to think that a body (the body as a whole unit, the heart, organs, muscle memory, etc...) that added 40 pounds recently versus a guy who has been training and fighitng with this approximate weight for the last 15 years is absolutely not the same thing;

i kind of have a picture in my mind of a rhino charging a buffalo, they're both big and strong but the rhino still has far more sheer power

I was leaning Gane, but i won't be betting this one.  Gane has never seemed like a "powerful" HW to me, he's elusive, skilled, quick, etc.  Just my opinion.

The reason im not betting it is because I just have a hard time seeing him able to avoid Chamas power for 25 minutes.  Perriera has so much power, in every limb, it's just hard to imagine Gane avoiding that for 5 rounds.  Should be a great fight!

Cyril Gane perhaps was on his way to beating Aspinall perhaps in a small sample size of about 4 minutes.

Jon Jones came in and absolutely silenced Cyril Gane.

I believe Cyril Gane should have lost the fight before the Aspinall fight but I believe it was in his Country.

Cyril Gane is not Champion material he will fold to this occasion.

Pereira to to get the Win. 

Gane is pretty scary looking. A lot of strength. 

I just watched the faceoff between Pereira and Gane.  Someone is going to die. Gane looks like he can hit harder but doesn't move very fluidly. Pereira didn't seem confident. I don't think I'm going to bet against Gane. 

    Great info in here. Made me change my pick to Gane. 

That was called an ass whooping!!!! Levels to this shit and Gane Let him know don’t come up here with the big boys!!!! Night Night Pereira
