UFC 270: N'Gannou vs. Gane

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

He’s just such a chill dude. I have francis winning tomorrow but I also like ciryl gane a lot. He’s definitely good for the ufc and win or lose still has a bright future because we don’t know how long francis remains in the ufc. Even if he comes up short Ngannou probably won’t stay more than 2 more years (imo) so he will be champ sooner than later which will be huge for the ufc. 

On another note I also desperately want to see ufc africa. Another place where there’s a hotbed of talent 

Anyone know if Hansen is a flyweight now or just a straweight fighting at flyweight, if it the latter, a dog shot on Jasmine ain’t bad, Jasmine striking is  **** , but she a grappler and her grappling doesn’t look bad, with a 10 pound weight advantage it be huge, but if they not, I think the grappling will most likely cancel, and Hansen out boxes her, 

Jasmine is at +200, and +300 by decsion, I don’t mind them as weight class exist for a reason, if Hansen is a straweight fighting at flyweight, the fight is so much closer

Thats fair

Duck just fyi jasmine got reversed multiple times by an atom weight so I don’t think weight advantage will do her any good here. Kay Hansen also has solid tdd and is a much better grappler than jasmine

N'Gannou vs. Gane
Gane Tko R.4

Hej falołersi! Już z soboty na niedzielę,  wielkie grzmoty w wadze ciężkiej. Z jednej strony Franek potrafiący przypierdolić tak , że głowa z zawiasów wylata i nóżki dostają odchylonych od normy pląsów , natomiast z drugiej strony Cyril ,który porusza się niczym osa , lekko stąpając po oktagonie. W moim przekonaniu walka będzie miała nastepujacy przebieg: Cyryl będzie krążył wokół Francisa raz po raz serwując jaby I niskie kopniecia przeplatane z okrężnymi,  natomiast Franc będzie szachował siłami i usiłował jednym ciosem odłączyć prąd Francuzowi. Przy wyczuciu dystansu i poruszaniu się Gane jestem przelonany , że nie uda mu się ta sztuka , Cyryl poczeka aż Francisowi skończy się bak z paliwem i Ok 4 rundy tak zajebie mu w PINKIEL  , że arbiter walki będzie musiał ją zakończyć przed czasem.

To add to that guy point, the ufc is way more multicultal now. I think Sterling and Rose are the only American champion at the moment, and most country don’t double up beside Brazil, it pretty cool because it show how global MMA is now, 

Final locked in Parlay legs after the weigh ins. Sad to see Topuria and Vieira pulled. Topuria ITD and Vieira/Turmann over 1.5 were 2 of my best plays.


1. Ngannou KO - I like both these guys and Cyril has a good chance, but I think Ngannou is too much
2. Figueiredo KO - Pretty confident after the weigh ins. I think this will be a clear cut victory even if it goes to dec
3. Pereira ITD - Both will gas but Pereira has better range management and grappling, he is better
4. Said Dec - High level striking with really good Sambo and defensive wrestling and balance. Clear win IMO
5. Giles KO - Morales will get caught with a punch closing the distance. Worry is his wrestling which is good
6. Barcelos - However he wants it really, I am taking a decision. Lock of the card
7. Graveley Dec - Too good for Saimon, better on the feet and with wrestling. Unlikely to get caught in a gilly
8. Jack Della ITD - Not sure if KO or sub but he will get a finish under 1.5. 2nd lock of the card
9. Frevola Dec - Should be an easy win, I know he is talking finishes but he often goes to decision
10. Demopoulos Sub - Still 50/50 but if it goes to the ground Demo will get a sub pretty easily I think
11. Kay Hansen Sub - Should be an easy victory for Kay. Jasmine is not really very good, on the ground its over

Pretty confident about this card and expecting to get at least 70% right (famous last words!), but I have put my money where my mouth is so wish me luck!

On second thoughts about the Topuria fight, very sad as a fan that we did not get that fight, but as a better who had him in most of my parlays pretty glad he did not fight compromised by a weight cut. 

May have dodged a bullet there!

I wouldn’t bet on it but I think Frevola can get a finish. As long as he fights smart he can very easily push Valdez’s cardio to gas him out and finish him late

So it looks like Ngannous old coach is sucking up to him again after all the sh*t he pulled. Saying he thinks they can have a drink together after the fight. What a *********.

Could it be because he thinks that Ngannou wins this?

Yup you are right, a Frevola finish is very possible and he has a point to prove! 

Good call bro! I think I will hedge that one in my bets

Also heard Herb Dean is reffing the main event (Oh god). Thankfully Jason Herzog is reffing the Co-main (probably because he speaks Portugese).

The judges are Sal D'Amato, Derek Clearly and Ron McCarthy, heaven help us for any fight that goes to decision!

At least that criminal Chris Lee and Adelaide Byrd are not stinking up the place with their foul presence

No the reason is because there's no beef at all and they're all friends really it's cringe at this point ufc making these childish narratives

Ya did u guys see the embedded they were hamming it up at the faceoffs

Pete Rodriguez is one big ass mf. Dude is built like a fridge no clue how he made 170

He’s 5’9 is how

Well no **** that was a rhetorical question. Was just saying he’s big af 

You think its all a setup to sell the PPV? Yeah I could see that, also the so called Figgy/Moreno beef

Five inch height advantage, looked massive.
