Right, Gane vs Spivak is an analogy of Aspinall vs Tybura.
Cannon fodder for the host.

Manon Fiorot, DEC
This is the real main event. Anyone thinking this will be an easy night for Rose might want to not go all in just yet. Don't get me wrong I had Rose winning this bout until I went to watch all of Fiorot's performances and man I am impressed. It's not to say Rose has no chance just there are three aspects that Rose would have to overcome if she wants to win this fight.
1. Can Rose mentally be there on the night
2. Will she be able to mix it up with Fiorot
3. Can she make Fiorot respect her striking
Rose seems to to in crossroads in terms of what she is aiming for in the UFC. It looks as if she has given up on recapturing gold strawweight and looking to motivate herself by capturing gold at Flyweight. Which is good in theory but in order for this theory to work she would have to beat Fiorot and Fiorot is one massive Flyweight. She took on Ricci in her second bout another strawweight that came up in weight and Fiorot had a clear physical advantage over the much smaller strawweight.
Fiorot also has very good takedown defense only being taken down once if I remember correctly by Maia However Rose has very good wrestling and we will need answers from Fiorot in this case as she will be properly tested in terms of her ability to stay on the feet with on for the best wrestlers.
The last point is that Fiorot is a heavy-volume striker with heavy hands. Her fights in the Apex were crazy as all her shots sounded like bricks hitting the wall Combined with her huge output amount of 6.58 strikes per minute and 71.7% significant strikes defense means just like her takedown defense she is very difficult to land on.
Those three factors are all information we don't have as of yet. For now, I will be going with Fiorot but would love to see how Rose looks on weigh-in day. If Fiorot continue to have the physical advantage over Rose I don't think it will be a easy night for the former champ.

William Gomis, DEC
Pretty cut and dry. Gomis should dominate in every facet on his way to a 30-27
Lapilus vs. Loughran
Taylor Lapilus, DEC
Better fight here imo. Not a welcoming debut for Caolan though. Lapilus is a vet who has cooked most opponents since leaving the ufc including guys who are actively on the roster. He’s very good. I’d said my piece on Caolan. He’s got good potential but he’s got a lot of things to work on

I'm not gonna just shut Gane out for his loss to Jones, but it was a pretty weak performance and Jon is that good but to not even fight and just get submitted like that? That's Spivac's bread and butter, so I think there will be a lot of pressure on Gane to perform, especially considering he's returning from a bad loss. The thing is Spivac does not really have any hands in the stand up department, and Gane is gonna get grounded, but he can get up and make Spivac pay as he showed against Tai.

Serghei Spivac, SUB, R2
I just cant look past the huge gap in wrestling ability here. Its mma at the end of the day. Gane looks crisp in the stand up and good on the eye, yes. However he still hasnt faced a relentless wrestler like Spivac, who at 28 is still improving with every fight. On the same hand, Spivac has not faced anyone this athletic since Aspinall. But thats nearly 4 years ago now and improvements have been made. Gane looked like he didn’t t belong in there against Jon. This was only back in march. Before that he was dragged to the ground at will by Francis with a bum leg. And against Tuivasa, there was just no wrestling threat. I just dont see him bridging this wrestling gap in such a short amount of time. Also think Spivac is definitely more of a dog that can dig deep when needed. I think the first round could be a feeling out process. Maybe Gane defends a takedown or two. But as the fight goes on i just see it getting to the ground and i don’t see Gane having the skills to avoid it. But hey, its heavyweight. All it takes is one punch.

Benoit St-Denis
(big left liver kick left hand)
Rhys McKee
(Low Confidence, basing off Alex Morono fight cuz Ange Loosa would lose to Morono as well, and I believe he would have lost even worse)
