"Cyril Gane comes here more with the strategy of a lighter person. Because he moves a lot, he is fast. And I think Alex Pereira will be more stiff, stable, strong, and solid. Ciryl will be more fast, moving around, his technique, he's good at that. And it's gonna be very difficult for Alex Pereira to even get to the distance to figure out what he can do."
"Ngannou believes Gane has since developed his wrestling and is not to be underestimated on the ground. While Ngannou is a known knockout artist, he surprisingly used wrestling to stifle Gane's movement and earn a unanimous decision win."
Francis Ngannou believes Ciryl Gane will pose a significant challenge for Alex Pereira in their interim heavyweight title fight. Ngannou notes Gane's speed and movement, contrasting it with Pereira's strength and stability. He suggests that Pereira may struggle to close the distance against Gane. Ngannou emphasizes Gane's improved wrestling skills since their last encounter, indicating that Gane should not be underestimated on the ground. The fight is set for June 14 at UFC White House, following heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall's recovery from an injury.
