Cyril Gane is gonna make Lewis look like an amateur. He's better on the feet, he'll be miles better if it goes to the ground, he won't make a dumb mistake and leave himself open for the hail mary like Blaydes and Volkov.
I don't know what Gane's ceiling is, or if he'll be champ. But the one fight in the division he's going to make look easy is Derrick Lewis.

Pay Francis Dana, No one want to see this fight, It just be a repeat of the Rozenstuck fight that a lot of people ***** about, But I found to be ok. People want to see Francis. And hey lets make Yan vs Sandhagen, Weili vs Rose, Colby vs Masvidal, Murphy vs Chookagian, Robert Whittaker vs Kevin Holland and Chandler vs Kevin Lee just because the champion don't have fight booked. It dumb making belts because the champion is the man of the division and no one the man at heavyweight until they beat Francis

It is wild to see how profitable the UFC is, and how little these guys make compared to any other sport. Guys begging for bonuses, Justin Jaynes trying to bet his whole paycheck. Meanwhile boxing a Paul brother makes you a millionaire.

Ciryl Gane, SUB, R4
Might be the most confused ive ever been as an MMA fan. Why is this made? Contract issues? Anyway really happy for Gane hes a good guy and extremely talented. Could absolutely see Lewis taking this though

As for the fight I think Gane should dominate him tbh. He’s way to quick, elusive, mixes shots better, technical, more ways to win.
That being said Lewis probably wins by knockout

Gane -325
Lewis +275
....couldn't resist Lewis. This coming from someone who isn't the biggest Lewis fan (from a fighting ability standpoint). Gane leaves himself open enough that he could get caught, and he isn't as big of a takedown threat to really concern Derrick imo.

And side note, It ****** how they aloud to Rebouk and Venom deal, The reason why Dana and the UFC are aloud to pay the fighter peanuts is because the fighter are independent contracter, So no uniform are such, Dana **** the fighter out of sponsorship as some fighter were making 6 figure out of them, Honestly the Rebook deal makes me think Dana like to make fighter poor so they fight more. And also probley illegal and Dana should get arrested for this ****, But rich people are above the law
And let me get back the Francis, Stipe fought yearly and they didn't make a interim title, and Francis was talking about how he should get payed more. It just a **** you to the fan and the fighter as Francis would make them way more money then a lame fight between Gane and Lewis that no one beside the people who stream or watch anyway would watch
