Such a breath of fresh air to see a Heavyweight who actually uses skill and technique to win.
Gane and Aspinall are my favourite heavyweights for this reason.
Gane, Blaydes, Rozenstruik, Volkov, Miocic and Aspinall all do that.
THANK YOU!! he’s not like lewis who just prays for the one shot
@@sahakbrothers8915 Lewis doesn’t just pray for one shot, he set up Blaydes with the uppercut when he shot for a takedown.
@@H.K.5 You forgot Ngannou and Derrick Lewis!
The most impressive thing is he doesn’t rush his finishes.....takes his time and stays composed.
Unlike Cody
That’s SOO UNDERRATED. Makes a champion reign! Patient heavyweight are almost NONE
Yeah just like Joshua in boxing, they are cold blooded, very confident in themselves. Being able to stay composed in these situations is one of the best quality, he just should not under estimate his opponent like AJ did against ruiz, that was his first time in US and he wanted to finish in spectacular fashion but it wasnt him and i think he learned his lesson. Its funny and scary how they look so similar physicaly, mentally and in their fights lol
Kind of like Anderson Silva
I noticed that aswell. Easy to just start throwing. But he assesses the situation and gets the finish even when time is low
He'll be a future champion, just a matter of when. He's so technical for someone just on the start of their careers, imagine him 10 fights from now.
I hope so, but guys can easily get chewed up if they get in a few wars on their way to the top. Especially at heavyweight.
Well... alot of the Top heavyweights are near retirement. We will see as he climbs the ladder.
@Jesus Christ I bet they're doing it just to piss you off too!
@Jesus Christ You are a complete idiot. Usman OWNED Covington. Be broke his jaw and finished him... Colby is really good at one thing. TALKING! The UFC wants nothing more than for McGregor to be champ... oh... wait... he's white! The UFC wants exciting fighters that bring PPV buys. They could give a shit what color thier skin is.
@@jameshovey8301 Come on, Colby can fight his ass off, don't be biased. Usman kicked his ass, but he's legit #2 in the division, regardless of his schtick. You're giving this fool ammunition.
Ciryl has everything height, reach, athleticism, striking, speed, kicks, grappling, subs. He could be a big star in the future
His grappling is still not the best but when you pair it with his elite striking it’s more than good enough. Plus his subs are decent.
Maybe a not the one strike KO power. I think the HW division in 3 coming years will be a story between him, Francis and Jones.
@@huihkjify Jones ? He is slow and has no leg for the hw div
@@huihkjify jones? lmao
@@tm.8399 Jones and slow?? That's the first time i have seen those two words mentioned together
You will never see Cyril Gane and Anthony Joshua in the same room
Never say never.
Same person
you are everywhere
@@pope9349 so are you then
@@AkamapD yeah on vacation ,Im on a roll right now.
He's highly skilled for a heavyweight, look at that footwork and striking movement
the guy was a muay thai fighter, remember watching him on french tv destroying his opponents.
Ngannou 😁
Hes the Tyson Fury of MMA heavyweights
Les français vous êtes ou ?! Let's go Ciryl !
On est là cyril il aa et va choquer l'Amérique !
oui oui!!!
Force à Cyril il sera notre premier Champion UFC
on est là!
On est LA
This guy is championship material, mark my words
He didn't look that good against a washed up JDS.
@@H.K.5 what?!?!
@@H.K.5 He schooled and knocked out the same JDS that KO’d Lewis.
@Kieran Hickey I never said he looked bad but that should've been super easy for him since even Blaydes could knock out JDS.
@@H.K.5 Yah so did he, what's your point?
Gane is advancing his game at a rapid rate, he's very athletic with solid fight IQ. A little more defensive movement and he's about as well rounded as can be found in the HW division.
Fr he is an under rated prospect
He's so relaxed in his standup and has so many weapons. Gane and Rozenstruik by far the best prospects in the HW division. Almost sad they have to fight eachother so soon as I can see both make a run at the belt
Rozenstruik is like a fish out of water on the ground. See the Overeem fight, but Gane has got excellent subs. Gane is the better prospect on paper. Of course, on the night, anything can happen.
Don't sleep on Tom aspinall bro
they gotta work through the division the guys at the top been fighting up and comers for years and thats why theyre always in the top 10
I want to see Aspinall Vs. Gane so bad now. Maybe in 2-3 years it’ll be them fighting each other for the title?
The Heavyweight in the UFC is the worst division by far in terms of talent.
The last 3 people featured in these “rise of” videos have lost. Don’t do this to Cyril.
just goes to show how competitive the UFC is
He taking Heavyweights into late rounds and gassing them out whilst just continuing to pick away hes built for championship rounds
'Member the rise of Darren Till?
Rozenstruik will be a real test. JDS was coming off of 3 straight tko losses.
Cyril gonna clean up his next fight too, he is too technical for anyone other than Stipe
Tanner boser has a chin and a half 😂
They don't call him rehabilitated Roy Nelson for nothing
I’ve had the pleasure of training with tanner once or twice when he was doing grappling at hayabusa in Edmonton. Was so hard seeing him get worked by a dude with a reach, height, weight, and technical advantage 😓
@@magichistory3386 He's still a great prospect in the HW division
He’s Canadian tough haha , hockey player style, take a puck to the face, get stitched up and keep playing
Rozenstruik vs Gane is a banging UFC fight night main event, Nikita Krylov vs Magomed Ankalaev and Pedro Munhoz vs Jimmy Rivera are good undercard fights as well.
@Let me offer you this haha
@Let me offer you this what because I can dress the card well with words?
Who you think winning between pedro and Jimmie ?
@@jhndrxxufc I think Pedro
Tempted to say Munhoz. Crack open some alcohol for it, same goes for the Co-main and main event that's for sure. I'm still left feeling devastated that Reyes vs Prochazka got pushed back to May 1st.
His match up against Rozenstruk is sick 🤯🤯🤯
Jds is in everyones highlight reels man
It’s sad how he went from champ to gatekeeper
Right, iwas just thinking the same thing, doin him dirty
😂 😂 😂 😂
Sad nature of the game. Someone in your highlights, later you might end up in someone's highlights.
He is the cowboy cerrone of the heavyweights now. JDS used to be a killer
i can see cyril Gane welcoming Jones to the heavy weight division
I'd love to see Gane sending pico Jones to sleep.
He is a HW, moves like a MW, hits like a HW
its crazy tbh. His fight style reminds me of an in his prime Luke Rockhold. So slick and dangerous
@@gigglesworthproductions4032 yep bascially just like like rockhold but with good better footwork
@@gigglesworthproductions4032 And he actually keeps his hands up
i agree except in that he hits more like an LHW or MW we havent seen HW KO power on gane he has pillow fists
@@gigglesworthproductions4032 Just Like A Samurai
You can tell JDS wanted out. This guy's up and coming
Yep. Turned his head away from the strike because he was done and that made the elbow hit the back of his head. He’s been constantly complaining that it was illegal since then as though Gane was supposed to stop the elbow in the last millisecond when he saw his head turned away.
Jds always does that stupid thing where he turns his back to his opponents. Him beating jds isn't a big deal
@@ronin3635 he destroyed jds very easily tho. Jair was lowkey struggling until he finished jds but gane had no troubles picking him apart
@@ronin3635 JDS hasn't been anything special in years and even when he was it was short lived.
He wanted out so he could get home to his beautiful wife.
I love that ufc is promoting lesser known fighter before they fight
One championship do this since day 1 lolllll
I mean he is in the main event other wise they wouldn’t do this
@@frenchfries2424 they might not have done it now because of ufc 259
@@joshuaperez1531 Yeah by the time this event roles around their gonna be promoting the crap out of 259
Who picks the music for these highlight videos? This is the most annoying track ever.
Every time I hear it, it makes me laugh, definitely doesn’t fit.
Haha I was thinking the same thing.
@@halseypayne4249, zz!zzz!!!!!!!!
Dude look like MMA Anthony "Humble" Joshua.
Yeah u are right dude!!!
Anthony "Disgrace to the superior black race" Joshua.
@@KeyserSoze23 what you got against Joshua?
@@attiepollard7847 Nothing but that's direct quote from him. Maybe the question should be what does Anthony Joshua have against others?
@@KeyserSoze23 Lmao do people think that tweet was from a real account and not a fake? Cringe
He seems like chill dude. This guy is so calm and collected during fight. He moves so well in the octagon. I see him becoming UFC champ.
UFC stop putting Junior Dos Santos on everyone’s highlights bro 😝
he keeps turning away giving a perfect ocasion to land a massive highlight reel KO
The French have such nice personalities has to be said 👊
Gane no doubt is an amazing fighter. Dude looks like he could be a real threat in the UFC. But only time will tell if he can beat NGannou and then his final test OG Stipe. Hope he can do big things.
He's already stated he'd fight Ngannou only for the title, as they were from the same team.
Let him fight Lewis first
UFC Paris - Ngannou VS Gane in a couple of years and for the belt (without that virus situation) We never know 😄
Stipe going to be fading soon though, he’s already 40 with milage on him. When they meet I don’t think Stipe will have much to offer. I’m actually afraid for the ngannou 2. The only weakness Stipe might have will be his durability.(if he’s compromised after those wars in all last 4 of his fights)
@@KingJuJrdaMuffinMan That's lame.
Man he is so technical for a HW and i love it
Even when he hurts them he still remains calm, very impressive
straight up moves like an agile middleweight. He'll have a title shot soon if he stays active. Two big wins away!
you were right!!
@@jovi6071 Gane just keeps making me money!!!! Love this guy!
@@danielmiller9012 hopefully he is the underdog against francis, I'm definitely putting money on him.
@@jovi6071 don't bet against Francis.
@@danielmiller9012 i dont think you should bet anything on the Ngannou fight, its 50/50
This guy has to be one of the most technical strikers I’ve ever seen in the UFCs heavyweight division!
If he wins would love to see him fight lewis * he's fighting volkov next awesome * ANDDNEEEW
Gane would most likely win by decision? Lewis is a counter puncher and Cyril would boxe Derrick out range with more activity. Anything can happen in the HW division though..
@@philfrombrux curtis was better on the feet until that KO
@@philfrombrux thats what they all think keep underestimating derrick tho like he said
@@dariancrenshaw7576 different kinds of fighting styles. Curtis only uses his striking to setup a takedown but Cyril is a seriously good Muay Thai striker that happens to have really good submissions
@@aka_duck_ tbh i think gane can be a future champ
He's gonna be the champ, no doubt. The movement and craftiness is like no other heavyweight I've seen in MMA.
Do u still think so?
This guy will be the greatest heavyweight of all time,mark my words.
he just has to get past Francis
@@whodafkisthatguy4801 i hope he does
@@spam9330 he will
@@dmj7900 yessir
@@dmj7900 well, he didn't. The predator won ;)
Ciryl Gane is one of the most dangerous HW currently..... *Imagine being Francis Ngannou's Sparring Partner for years*
They actually didn't spar that much according to Ciryl's interviews. They don't even know each other really well he said even tho both have been trained by Fernand Lopez.
He's not he's not even elete just another hyped dude
@@nickdefiler796 His skills are definitely elite, those are some smooth strikes. Whether he can prove that they are in the octagon is another story. I get what you mean though definitely, he's hype until we see some real proof against the top ranked guys.
@@ballisticcranberrypeat7777 his pressing footwork and speed are amazing and he knows how to use his strenght in clintch but his defence skills are low even 40 years old JDS cought him with the good strikes so i'll bet my money on Rozenstruik.. they are compering Gane with Ngannou but he is not even close
@@nickdefiler796 Yeah, all he thinks about is offense it seems like. Baaaad habit, especially for a heavyweight.
A heavyweight with real skill and technique. Very exciting to see him fly!
Applaudable his quick releases of submissions. Classy and smooth. 👌🏼
5 fights in UFC and already #4 in rankings. Wow...
Ca me fait marrer de repérer "Ce cher Rust" sur les vidéos de l'UFC
Et d'entendre le king hurler depuis le corner les directives à appliquer xD 😁👍 bien vu le com mon gars
They way this guy switches stances is impressive
Moves like a Lightweight in a Heavyweight shell - Excited to see his progress 🔥
One of my favourite fighters, rooting for him this weekend.
Damn I like this guy. He is so relaxed and humbled. Love the respect!
He’s such a nice guy. Rooting for him.
He moves so fast and light and uses Muay Thai in a way I haven't seen any Heavyweight do in a while. Flying knees, crisp quick elbows and beautiful technique. I think I've become a fan of Gane.
He is always so calm
When a heavyweight moves at that speed, you know something disastrous is gonna happen 🔥
The French Monster 🇫🇷
It’s nice to see a humble, modest fighter...who just happens to be awesome!
Looking forward to this weekend. Betting big numbers on this man. Nothing but faith in his ability to get it done ✅
Man Boser Tanner was so tough even Gane was like goddamn after he made him eat 2 flush knees
Gane is underrated, great technique, has power, decent ground game, definitely has a future in this division. Francis by bumrush ko.
Also Insane footwork
Super hype for future fights!
Ever since his fight JDS, I’ve been keeping my eye on him because of how easy he makes fights look
JDS - *waiting for the hit so i can just end the match* 🙄
JDS is one of my fav fighters but he was never the same after Cain valasques 2&3rd fight. What a good time it was in the heavyweight era with Cain and Junior. Props to this dude for winning.
@@Silent0Seven No, JDS was never same after 1st fight with Stipe. That great fight and war damaged his chin. I cant recognize him anymore after that.
@@DenisBrulic I do not wanna make this a debate, but in my opinion, its the 2nd and 3rd Cain fights that crushed JDS’s soul
@@Silent0Seven That's fine I just stated my opinion. It is not needed we fight over it 😃
@Amerikkkan Made it was to the side of the head and JDS is a bitch for calling that an illegal shot
Man, I feel so bad for JDS. It is time to retire bro...
Need dat moneyyyyy
I forget when he win last time 🤔
Love his calmness and humility
The technical genius,stamina and quick footwork and hand speed. Tre bon! 👌🏽
Winner of Gane vs Rozenstruik should fight Lewis on the co-main event of Jon Jones’ title shot as a no.1 contender fight.
Awful idea for Lewis. Why would he do that?
Perfect comment
And volkov?
@@josephpaul908 To fight for the title and stay active. Much better idea than fighting washed up Overeem in a 3 rounder and getting passed up on a title shot to Gane (if he beats Rozenstruik), or sitting out for the whole year.
@@yersongonzales4842 Volkov should fight the loser of Rozenstruik/Gane or Stipe/Ngannou
He can wrestle, he can pull off great submissions, and when he connects, he can end the fight with just one perfectly placed hook
Switching stance and staying equally as dangerous is so difficult,this guy does it effortlessly.
This is awesome! Love it.
So happy to see a stacked HW division 😃
I don’t know why but Cyril is one of my favorite fighters to watch!
Much respect
I love technical heavyweights its so rare to see but its so brutal imagine the strength of those dudes heelhooking you god my knee hurts just imagining it
Jeez he's so fast for a heavyweight, he moves like a 205er
It’s crazy how much he looks like Anthony Joshua from certain angles. 😂
Loved this guy from the first time I saw him He just has that it factor that makes you want to watch
what an amazing fighter, most technical Heavyweight by a mile
His fighting style and stance kinda reminds me of Jon Jones and Luke Rockhold.
Let's go Ciryl rends la France fière de toi et de ton incroyable aventure tu le mérites amplement.
« Le France » ? T’es sérieux mec ?
He makes it all look so easy. What a prospect!
He's so efficient with his movement, it's so refreshing.
This is going to be one hell of a fight
JDS turtles up all the time, he's just in there for the check, he's a gate keeper and has no hunger to keep fighting when in deep waters. Stop giving him fights im tired of seeing him quit.
A fond derrière le "Bon Gamin"... Force à lui pour samedi... il va le faire
How is this guy still under people's radar? First time I saw him fight it took me a minute to realise that this guy is special
La France derrière toi 👌🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Just watched him destroy Lewis. This guy is going to pose a serious, serious threat to Francis.
This guy has the potential to become the best heavyweight striker of all time. The way he mixes his punches, kicks, knees and elbows is outstanding. There hasn't been so proficient kickboxer/muay thai fighter in the heavyweight division since prime Mirko and Overeem.
I've been waiting for his next fight. Hope this gives him some star power
Dude looks like Sagat from street fighter without the eye patch
He is literally Sagat in real life
Ciryl Is A Very Good Fighter
Wrong my friend!, he’s even better than that!
He moves so well for a heavyweight and is very well rounded. A future champ for sure.
Have been rooting for him since last 2 fights. Great contender for title
Anthony Joshua of mma, he even looks like him 💪💪
Not even close. Joshua is stiff unathletic bum
@@okay1775 cap
@@okay1775 but this guys a supposed super athlete cause he’s beat a few ufc bums who have 25 losses more than wins on their record ? Joshuas the 2x unified heavyweight champion of the world who’s also an Olympic gold medalist so if he’s stiff and ‘unathletic’ then he’s done a terrific job with what he’s got
@@okay1775 Joshuas also made more money in one fight then the whole of the heavyweight ufc roster have made from their whole careers all combined 🤣🤣
Hope he stays active and beats the tendency of the top heavyweight fighters who get about 1 fight in per year ffs
Well done UFC for not subtitling this video... All you have to do is tune in a little to what he's saying and its clear... This guy has looked really fresh in all of his fights so far... Looks like an interesting prospect at heavyweight for the future... Watch this space...
Heavyweights got to look out for this dude. I never seen a big guy with that perfect striking
He’s like the nicest scariest dude I’ve ever seen haha
Looks like its time to breathe a fresh air in a Heavyweight division!!!
I didn't know him before a couple weeks ago. He's at another level!! Usually, in the heavyweight, they seek for a knockout but he's acting like a lightweight very complete fighter. I'm very excited for tonight 😁
he has the technical ability and agility and movement of a welterweight in a heavyweight body.
hes like the exact opposite of Francis in what makes him so threatening. If he wins his next fight Blades of Lewis next then he can just wait till things iron out with Francis, Jones and Stipe
the casuals sleeping on him saying he wont beat anyone in the top 5 are some 1st class clowns🤣
Well. U have to wait until he beats a top 5 to call them casuals. Otherwise, they're just as right as u are
@@thorn3802 u rlly think blaydes, rozenstruik, Lewis, ngannou and all ot those have the technical skills, the fight IQ or the overall abilities to beat him? (else than the one punch ko power that all the heavyweights have 💀)
@@ygs6519 Never said that. Don't put words into my mouth please. Also they may not have the IQ and athleticism, but those 5 can beat him without a doubt and vice versa. Also u make it sound like Gane's fight IQ is miles ahead. Not that big of a gap bud. He's just different for a heavyweight. That's it. But that doesn't make him the one to make it to the top. Takes more than things you're gifted and learn. Imo, I can definately see Gane beating all of them except maybe Ngannou bcuz it's fucking Ngannou. But everyone you listed is a fair point.
@@thorn3802 ngannou getting washed by stipe again, then by jones and prolly gane too if he's not already fighting stipe for the belt. Gane is way more talented than people think, not even close to enter his prime and already techinically miles ahead of the heavyweight division but yall will jump on the train when he beats jarzihno i guess🥱
@@ygs6519 I think Rozenstruik will beat Gane
I really love is fighting style he was doing step by step of is plan and you see the result in the face of is opponent bleeding
I have the highest of hopes for this bad dude! Very high level striker but also very wellrounded and great jiu jitsu! The next heavyweight king!
damn JDS has declined so much. I love that guy.
The Next Heavyweight champion. Mark my words
