Evloev vs Topuria
Predictions: 4 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 215 Points | Tied for 3800th
Anyways, Evloev's "0" will not go anywhere. He will retire as undefeated for sure. I mean who the **** escapes chockes, gulloutine and a perfectly executed armbar in M1 grand?
"KHAMZAT CHIMAEV" will be double champ holding 170lb and 185lb belts...

they won't lose any credit if either of them lose, under one condition, must show what they are capable of. Losing ufc might be not as bad as losing boxing fight. You got a lot of examples - Sandhangen giving good fight against TJ - getting interim belt fight, Gamrot losing ufc debut, but fight was even and fotn, - getting 11st ranked guy in 4th ufc fight, bonuses and the way you fight matter

So we all want to see the best fight the best. That goes without saying. However, the best fighting the best before the best have properly maturated as fighters has downsides, and associated risks.
Firstly, they haven't peaked. They have yet to reach their ultimate potential. Although they are exceptional in the current landscape and by the standards of other opponents, they are not as superb as they will be in the future. So in essence, when you have two standout prospects and get that fight sooner rather than later, you're essentially not getting a fight as amazing as it otherwise might be.
Secondly, if the fight turns out to be a horrific back and forth war, one of those fighters or both of them might never be the same again. Case in point: Ferguson vs Gaethje. Tony ate so much damage in that fight that it probably scrambled his eggs forever. He's been a shadow of himself since that bout.
All I'm saying is that there's a case to be made for waiting.

knockout, Stipe catches him, Francis resets and just blasts him with that perfect left hook. Herb Dean just freaking out as Francis goes for the kill shot.

He's probably going to murder Gane. Obliterate him. There is no way to prepare for this guy. He has the touch of death. No striker is beating him.

But I never see a H.W. with the precision & movement Gane have.
Could be Ngannou KO or Gane decision its very hard to call.

Crazy the N'gannou recently hired Rico Verhoeven to train with before this fight. And paying the Goat of heavyweight kickboxing to train with is going to be 1 expensive restaurant tab to pay for. This concerns me for a few reasons. First it means he is taking Gane very Seriously. To bring in Rico, Francis understands what kind of threat Gane proposes and is trying to take the necessary steps to prepare.
This is my issue. Francis is not technical. He will not become technical enough in the time frame for Gane. He is going to change is fighting style. Thats a mistake. He needs to do what Francis does. Come out aggressive and throw planets at Gane.
Gane has a simple gameplan. Out Strike Francis. Make is as boring as humanly possible. Hit Francis and dont get hit. Fans will boo and Gane will win.
Francis is going to get confident training with Rico and try to get into a boxing match with Gane which he will loose. He needs to fight the way he always fight and come mad dog towards Gane. I believe Gane takes this fight by boring decision.

I think you're right about Gane's best chance being dec. He could definitely stay on his bike and win if the Francis that fought Lewis turns up.
