Ciryl seems to be a very a like-able guy. In addition, his straight forwardness and honesty is also something to be valued.
He really does make it so easy to admire him. His nickname is truly perfect.
@@Lowgenn what's his nick?
@@stevethea5250 Bon gamin, it means “good kid”
Tbh Idc who wins cause Gane’s stock will skyrocket after the fight. He’s a likable guy, he won’t dip low at all. All the pressure is on Francis. Gane takes everything day by day with humbleness. THAT will get him far in this career path
Great take 💯% agree
It's similar when Francis fought stipe as a green fighter. In a year Gane is gonna be super scary
💯
@@ramonbriones4487 No because Francis didn't follow the game plan because he thought that Stipe was a lot easier to beat....Cyril know very well how strong and fast and tough Francis is...they did spar at least 6-7 times.
@@ramonbriones4487 He's going to be even scarier! Already a scary dude
I’ve always rooted for Francis but in this fight, I wouldn’t be sad if “Bon Gamin” came out with a win. You just cannot hate this guy.
I was rooting for Francis too until I watched the press conference and seeing him disrespecting his "former" coach 😒😒 that was lame move 👎👎👎
I hate his face
@@tiagonguma6518 his former coach has been slandering him for months tho
@@CT-yr8ph ngannou is difficult asf. Also did you know he basically picked him up from the streets and made him who he is today? Ngannou probably won’t even shake his hand after the fight
@@CT-yr8ph he been just tellin the truth, I watched the interviews, and Francis himself confirmed everythin the coach said about their beef... Maybe he pissed cos he still pointin out that he knows his weaknesses...
The one who's got the most powerful knockout power versus the one who's got the most technical skillset or overall game at heavyweight, can't wait to see how this fight plays out
Maybe job Jones most technical at heavyweight....
@@oshanegriffiths8972 he hasn’t fought at heavyweight. Therefore he’s not in the convo yet.
Sounds like Wilder vs Fury
all rounder vs Full power
a good man, authentic
Most genuine guy on the roster. Dudes so comfortable in his own skin
@@hischam0698 au-ten-tique
His combination of extreme honesty and huge self-belief is a breath of fresh air. Saying "I don't know" for a prediction... it's the truth! Nobody knows, but everyone acts like they need to know.
Like McGregor and Ngannou
Win lose or draw I’ve got to see more of Cyril during the build up to this fight and I’ve got a lot of respect for him as an athlete as well as a human being.
He's going to be a good Champion. Hopefully gets France going!
I have a sneaking suspicion were seeing the rise of the greatest heavyweight we've ever seen in real time.
Dana White will always be the greatest
Yeah Francis is pretty spectacular
Omg the hype
@@enlightenSAINT Technically and visually he probably is the greatest heavyweight we have seen step in the octagon for the UFC. But being able to put it all together all the time is the struggle I think. Well deserved hype, let’s hope he lives up to it
Big respect to both. I want Gane yo win purely so I can watch his legacy unfold. Francis is clearly outta here win/lose/draw.
@TheRELLDon This is gonna be fun to come back here when Ciryl wins. But you can send me some tissue and Tylenol if you'd like. I can't afford them right now due to inflation so I'd really appreciate it
Not really. If Francis wins the UFC can still keep him in the promotion as a win will extend his contract due to the champions clause.
@@madgavin7568 nah....he wants out....he can make waaaaaay more money in Hollywood or a boxing match.
@@madgavin7568 it's just casuals making comments cause it's a big card haha
@@obijuankenobi420 More money in Hollywood? Are you kidding me? Lol....
Watch a Gane interview - yeah I’m definitely betting Gane Watch a Francis interview - yeah I’m definitely betting Francis
MMA fans are not the smartest people around…so that’s not surprising.
@@derekd7756 why you in your feels bruh?
@Mystic Editor fights like this are the coin toss, especially with power puncher like Ngannou, it can go either way. Im learning more towards Gane tho, we will see saturday night
Bet on both
@@derekd7756 another guy who thinks he’s better than all the other fans. Like who cares bro cause Idgaf. I’m just grateful to be a ufc fan and that’s all I care about.
such a humble champion
Love his personality. Smarter and not as far up his own ass like Francis. Hope he wins and reigns long
UFC narratives go brrrrrrrr
Lol. Prepare to cry tomorrow
@@derekd7756 you'll cry
@@derekd7756 you’re gonna cry kid
either way, I hope it's an awesome fight and doesn't end up being a dud like Lewis vs Francis was, that would be the worst case scenario. If Gane wins that's great cause he's a great person, very humble and respectful. If Francis wins (by ko obviously, don't see it happening any other way) that's always impressive to watch, dudes a pure monster.
Hell yeah, I hope Gane gets the win, he seems like a real cerebral fighter.
i think Ciryl Gane has the potential to be one the greatest fighters ever never seen a Heavyweight like him even heavyweight GOAT in the UFC.
Somehow he remind me of prime Caine idk why
@@Jnikola97 i dont know bout that he beat the best super heavyweight Champ Yassine Boughanem in Muay Thai Cyril Gane is the only guy who beat him in 7 yrs.
DC is such a great addition to the UFC commentary team. Personally not always a huge fan of Bisping or Cruz commentating, but love the energy and friendly humor DC brings to the table.
HOPE THIS FIGHT DELIVERS 💯
I honestly don’t know how this fight is gonna go but I can’t bet against Francis
It will deliver, but Hulk Hogan would have smashed them in his prime
Ciryl Gane the new champion 👑 let's go ciryl let's go champion 👑💪
Love Cyril gane what a smile with glimpse of innocency
Hopefully Ciryl gane vs tom aspinal gonna be a big fight too. Got my eye on that fight.
Aspinall have volkov on his road already a big test for him
I really like both him and Francis, may the best man win!
Cyril wish all good for saturday night. In France we believe in you
I like both dudes alot I mean either way if Gane loses I still am a huge fan regardless but if he wins man that shit will be legendary
This interview is harder than his fight tomorrow 😂
?
Cyril doesn't just stay composed - he stays light as well. He stays loose and relaxed and light on his feet.
Not a fan of Francis but I respect his power and he’s hard to bet against. Huge fan of Ciryl since he made his debut into the UFC - his personality and demeanor is one of a kind. Also, I loved that he plays FIFA 🤣 I stayed in the top 100 several years back but I had to find a new hobby cus my FIFA addiction was bad lol
Gane is mega cool!
I love Ciryl Gane
I’m not a MMA guru but have been watching regularly for 12-15 years. I can say without hesitation that Francis is top 3 pound for pound hardest punchers in UFC history. In the same manner I can without hesitation say that Cyril Gane is the most agile, well rounded HW in UFC history! He has no competition until we see what Jon Jones does at HW
Francis is the hardest puncher nothing to compare his strength it's just off the chart of avarage fighters .
He is number 1 I’ve been watching since 09 and pfp the only contenders are Anthony Johnson, figgy, and maybe Lewis. Francis above all these guys
i started watching from 2 years, but figgy is up there with johnson and ngannou???? (pound for pound obv)
@@khalidqureshi3168 Francis literally lift 260 pound man with an upper cut.
I think Ciryl will win this fight in the clinch against the cage. He will push Ngannou into the cage and work him.
Bro he is gonna maintain distance let alone push ngannou
Francis it's extremely dangerous he always come with an upper cut from nowhere he has turn a clinch to a kamora.
I don’t think clinching is safe
I don’t see Ciryl being able to hold Francis against the cage
@@pinchesmbuche4354 agree Francis is crazy when it comes to clinching. He can just hit a short uppercut and end it. Cain failed badly trying to grapple him.
He sounds laser focused, not putting any stock into the shenanigans behind the scenes and potential what if's.
Ciryl Gane is the man 😎
Cyril is a good guy, he is also hilarious
really hope ciryl comes out with the win (though i fear this might be like a francis/gsp situation where it took them 2 tries to become a champion). He (along with ngannou's coach nicksick) have across as the two most likable guys in this promotion.
FURY AND WILDER OF MMA!! Best of luck to both!
He will win he so good to watch smart fighter
Wtfuck. The same questions and statements,I watched 5 of his last interviews in the last two days. How you see this fight going, 1000 times what happened in the fucking goddamn sparring and 100 times and you are the interim champion, interim, interim,interim.
Ya LOL the media/journalists have been brutal this event
Personally I don't see a Ngannou left high kick catching Gane in an actual MMA match regardless. I dunno no disrespect but I hope Gane wins with skills over power.
Does anyone else notice the differences between Francis and Gane in these interviews. One is so fixated in knocking the other out while the other one is ready to display all his skills
Love Laura's shirt 🖤
I'd love to see Stipe vs Gane... I think that would be a good fight.
Just make Francis exhausted 😴 Come on Gong you got this!
Very good Guy
Can anyone tell me how many hours left for the fight? Thanks!
Bon Gamin ! 👊 🔥
FRESH AND FIT PODCAST🔥🔥🔥🔥💪.
This guy is so cool...
Cyril is a different fighter and he does have a chin and power. He fought Muai Thai and has been a champion. Francis is overlooking all of that. I think this will be a clinic and masterclass performance by Cyril
Il a battu le multiple champion du monde de muai thai, et en seulement 3 ans de sport de combat… ce mec n’est pas normal
This fight is going to the ground.
definitely, ngannou will smash him
@@chilloutpelao9252 nah Gane submits him
If stipe who’s a better wrestler than Gane couldn’t get an improved francis down, why do you think Ciryl can do it?
@@UFCWWE69 Cardio and movement. We'll see, we can revisit this tomorrow night.
@@UFCWWE69 Stipe came in very light in the rematch, that cost him big time when it came to wrestling because the weight disparity was huge.
Am tired of everyone typing oh Cyril is such a lovable dude. We know that find something new.
I don't think people will base their comments on your feelings dude
I hope Gane gets the job done. Like him even more after the press conference and during fight week before the Lewis fight.
Win or Lose, Gane is definitely going to be a champion (Undisputed) by any means necessary
1:40 startled me
" This is an animal he he he's really Strong " 😂😂
Power vs technical striker/kickboxing just intelligent all around the cage. Francis gave his prediction well done Cyril as a person his very nice but you can hear the difference between the 2 for me Cyril is an athlete not disrespecting Francis but the mindset focused and that's why his so successful sofar he don't let the Lil things get to him his in a sport - it's his job but it's also a game and he wants to beat everybody Francis his mind is bit all over the place it seems yes his champ and have to put up a show his leading the talking exchanges but still needs to do what he says his going to do. None had answers fighting cyril will Francis stay focused in the fight I doubt it My money is on gane and if khabib says he is the best heavyweight I have no doubt his talking because he knows when you see a special fighter set apart from the others. Francis power yes and takedown defense but has he been put to the test really where he have to defend subs really? Cyril 3rd round tko/submission
put to the test?.. are you kidding me?.. you think that the 5 round against stipe was light sparring.
Who picks "the good kid" as their nickname? Cyril Gane does - and it fits - seems like a great guy. The new GSP.
Let's go Gane!
Cyril will be goat in heavy weight championship.
his english is really bad, but in french you can hear he's smart, calm, and likeable. A gentle giant that turn ino a beast in the octagon.
Who ever wins deserves it.
Skills > Power, Cyril 🏆
I think Cyril vs Jones would be huge and ngannou vs fury
I’m guessing Cyril will find out tomorrow if Francis can put him to sleep. If Francis does, he would be the 6th top level boxer/kick boxer than Francis has KO’d. Stipe Overeem Rozenstruik Cain JDS
Overeem and Rozestruick were great kickboxers, Stipe JDS and Velasquez weren't great boxers.
Cain was predominantly a wrestler
@@MrRorySteel JDS had great boxing skills arguably the best in the HW division at one point tf you talking about…
@@remo_1564 Wasn't a great boxer by any means though. Stipe had the best amateur credentials golden gloves winner still nowhere near great.
@@MrRorySteel I think a big thing to point out is that when Gane fought other kickboxers, he just played paddy cake with them for 3-5 rounds. Ngannou put them to sleep.
"How important is it for you (CG) to become the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world?" "Ahhh it's not that important to me. I was just training really hard all this time and making sure that I make weight just for fun"
Daniel "when i was a champion" Cormier
I'm strongly considering betting on a draw split decision. I have this weird idea. Seeing both fighters I think they won't take any chances tomorrow.
Very difficult to predict the outcome, hence why I understand your reasoning behind a 5 round split decision draw. I would lean towards Gane getting a 4th round TKO, because Ngannou will not be allowed to last 5 rounds. The constant pressure from Gane and fight IQ will work in his favour. Ngannou will gas and fade away.
I bet €1 on a draw with €81 return. Just in case. I would bet €2-3 at most if i were you, though, lmao
Goddamn Laura Sanko looking extra fine today😧😍😍
I have a feelin Cyril will be the Colby of the heavyweight division. Incredible fighter that's well rounded that just barely doesn't have what it takes to beat the champ in razor thin fights
I like them both but I'm feeling more sympathy for Francis cuz of the way the ufc treating him these days , but I have a feeling that gane is going to win this fight
14:43 wtf? That's, I mean that has to be impossible. How much weight is there and a trainer?!
2:45 look at her dessiree ohhh
Francis POV on Saturday: 1:42
I think I’m a problem 🔥✊🏽💣
Shut up Marty juiceman
Gane is THE boy
DC poker is now smartest man in UFC
The dude has to answer the same questions so many times...
1st round Knockout and still the world heavyweight champion!
1:55 conter punch
Ciril face is same with phill heath
Here after Francis wiped the floor with Gane 🤣
Jesus
Gane needs to mannage distance as wisely as always does. If he gets in the pocket with Francis I don´t think he stands a chance. He needs to bide his time, tire Francis. Get in and out with a significant strike landed each time, win by points bc you can't count on finishing Francis... he is tough!
Ciryl Gane must attack Francis with bodyshots and trigger him with feints and not fear Francis. Most of Francis opponents fair Francis power
FRANCIS IN 15 SECONDS OR CYRIL VIA SUMBISSION
Daniel Cereal Cormier
he sounds different, can't say I can compare his demeanor to any other athlete
Gane chokes Francis in the 4th. Francis doesn't tap and passes out. Ref stops the fight. And NEW...
Ha
Ciryl should not attempt takedowns when Francis is fresh
UFC has over pumped this 'training together' angle.
Ok Laura, I see you girl 🔥
First time hearing him speaking English
As long as both of them stay away from McGregor and Ferguson's attitude.
Man, I'm gonna be so sad when Gane get knocked tf out, he's a nice guy.
Ngannou bomaye 🇨🇲🦁
Poor Gane you can tell that he doesnt really understand all the questions properly because of the languange barrier
the thing is ganes defense not good but he knows how to get away
How is his defense not good? He literally blocked or dodged every punch of Lewis
I like the show but the amount of times the MMA media has said "sorry to ask this again" this week is comical. If you need to apologize before doing your job you aren't good at it lol
Gane knocks out Ngannou in the 3rd.
Lol. Gane will run for the first 3 rounds. He’ll be lucky to survive in that period.
Gane with easy win
Gane via Submission
Laura looking hella good.
2:31 man those boinkers of that woman!
