FistyMcKickerChoke Like I said Ciryl Gane was a LOCK ... sorry you believed in a Hail Mary landing on the future best HW in UFC History.... Some people having a coral from being a nerd/virgin and making a bunch of rankings that are wrong and no one reads while some people know what they're talking about and get our points from correct predictions

I think gane beats ngannou. The first 2 rounds will be dangerous but having ngannou’s old coached and being a former training partner he should know what to watch out for. It will be a similar fight but Francis is obviously more technical than lewis and won’t just quit

Ciryl Gane ML vs Anybody

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 690 Points   |   Tied for 132nd

Spudgreg you're right. Ciryl's striking offense and defense is far too advanced for any one in the world. Francis has developed a workable jab and leg kick but in reality it is still a bit too laborious to me. It's not a smooth strike and Ciryl will read it. At this point you have to realize, Francis ran from France for a reason... He was having nightmare every night about Ciryl Gane... the nightmares are back now

Schatte Gane's intro song had the entire crowd cheering for him because they thought he was Lewis because "Still Tippin" is a Houston area bred song hahaha. Casuals don't know that Derrick Lewis comes out to the same intro song every fight. At that point I know Ciryl really is a genius and it shows in his cerebral style of fighting

Spudgreg I hope you really did pick over 2.5. Helluva of a bet if you did, I had Ciryl 3-4 round finish +475. Derrick Lewis told us in the presser "it was not going past the 3rd round"

Tieoken idk who you are ****** guy... but I dont respect people under 60% prediction but I dont need to get into that again. You don't matter. Maybe you should just follow me and look at my picks so you know what a winning pick looks like and so you can improve that UFC prediction % my son

My guy, your UFC prediction rate is under 60% too? I’m not saying anything crazy, just that if you’re gonna act like a savant back it up.

 No one actually mentioned you directly but you obviously knew it was you so that proves the point.

I haven't seen much of the card, I expected Chiesa to do much better, I picked Violent Vicente by 2nd round submission but Chiesa winning a decision was in the back of my mind.

Gane fight I'll admit I used a bit of the Mark Hunt fight to help me, a kickboxer vs. Lewis, but an entirely different one but Hunt took him into deep waters. I thought Gane would pick him apart, and TKO him in the 4th. I didn't expect him to trade with Lewis when he was most dangerous, but he did.

Lewis looked horrible in loss, from the videos I have seen. Just turning around flopping about doing the Bob Sapp.

I had a 5 man parlay with Luque and hedged it with Chiesa by decision. Had me real nervous when Chiesa had his back for a solid minute cause of the possible submission.

Mistakes were made. Chiesa favored submission  over position and it cost him. Giving up the back and going for that arm instead of fighting to stay on the back and regain control was the mistake that ended up costing him. ended up on bottom and left his neck open. Didn't respect Luque's grappling IMO
