I hope so @Serbian 

I really like both guys, but seeing Tai win would be nice.

Just can't think of a single fighter who's going to be less willing to abandon the gameplan and swang with Tai. All the ways Tai wins fights aren't going to be available.

Gane is basically the champ in my eyes. Those first two rounds were embarrassing for Francis. Then he did have a lot of success just Homer Simpsoning Gane with brute strength in the next two rounds. But then Gane had the final round all locked up before pulling guard for a leg lock.

He's undisputed champ if he doesn't galaxy brain overthink it. I dont know if he thought he needed the finish or just thought it was sitting right there. He probably figured out Francis had bad knees by then. But man... if he just lays on an exhausted Francis, he's champ.

So essentially you're saying he made a braindead decision which cost him the fight. But in no way fathomable can see him doing it again?

When someone proves themselves to be so miles better than someone in terms of skill, even if they lose the scorecards, it's hard for me to proceed pretending like the other guy is better. If they fought again I'd bet Gane, and figure he'd get like 75% or more prediction on here. 

It's definitely hard to reconcile such a high IQ fighter making such a bad decision. But all the evidence I have says he makes the correct read far more often than not.

I wasnt trying to be a smartass. Genuinely wondered if you think the brain lapse has cleared up or not. I know 99% of questions asked on here are troll **** but i was serious. 

Gane has a clearly better all around skill set. But the clear lapse in judgement in the middle of the fight gives me concern for a -500 fighter. It wouldnt give me much concern if it was 4 fights ago an we didnt see it again but it was last fight. It def could still be there. 

Of course no one talks about it cause he was killing Mayes the whole fight but go watch the third round over again. From any point on with 2 mins left he could have finished him. Had him covered up against the cage standing didn't take advantage. Took him down instead. Got on top and could have finished with strikes. Didnt do it. went from top position and sat back for a heel hook but because it worked it didnt matter. but he still went from a dominant position he could have easily ended the fight and sat down for a heel hook instead.

Interesting observation. It's like Gane.exe randomly malfunctions and goes for the heel hook. I don't think it will cost him this fight though.

No Francis clearly won, saying Gane is the champion for losing clearly is ********, Francis also tore his ACL in the fight and still won, Francis is the champion until someone beat him  Gane could beat him in the rematch, but also he might not, we can’t see into the future, But until the rematch happen, Francis is the champ and you should give him respect

Fightpass

Well I got a question.
I updated my fight pass app and now I can't find the option "download" for videos. Is it disallowed now or you can still download but with different way?

Perez vs. Egger
Ailin Perez, TKO, R2
Has anyone even looked into Ailin? She's a pretty dominant Striker. And she's no slouch on the Ground either. Egger is getting Submitted and KO'd within a month of each other, you heard it here first.

Erison does have one good point, If Francis couldn't do much against Gane on the feet, Than what will Tai do, Francis had to wrestle to beat Gane, I strongly doubt Tai could wrestle Gane, And Francis is just better at everything with striking then Tai

But all the rest of what he said is stupid, Francis beat Gane, He the champion, It silly to think Gane the champion for losing,

Taha vs. Quiñonez
Cristian Quiñonez, DEC
Quinonez is another debuter that has some amazing hands, but unlike my last prediction I don't think Taha is gonna make it easy on him though, and I feel he's been prepping hard for this fight. He's never been knocked out either l
