Gotta ride with this man…. He’s great for this industry, but this is the worst matchup possible for him in the division. If he pulls this off it’s going to turn a lot of heads.
I dunno man. Gane dismantled Lewis but Derrick isn't as explosive as Tai. I think if he can close the distance he could test that chin on Gane, it hasn't been tested that much to be honest. It's a typical match up between a great technical master and a "banger".
When she asked Tai about the french people thinking the sport was violent in my head I knew Tai was the wrong person to ask 😂😂 then he said it himself at the end " arrr fuck I'm not the one to ask, ask somebody who speaks for the sport, it's not violent, we just knock people out" 😂😂😂 love this kid
Its Ironic, bc if you think about how mma has impacted Tai's life he's a decent example of how troubled youth can find purpose and meaning in martial arts and that kind of expression.
Yes because French people all think alike. The question was dumb as hell. I'm french and 25 years old, and I don't know anyone around my age who thinks it's too violent
Take notes kids, among the many reasons we love this guy, one reason we definitely love Tai is because Tai is TAI. He is authentic! Unapologetically himself, and there is nothing more courageous than that.
When he took Greg Hardy’s hardest punch and was on those wobbly legs and then was able to throw one of his own to win the fight I became a huge fan. I know Greg’s gone but he threw as hard as Derek Lewis.
@@MrMollymoto yeah, he definitely took leg kicks from working with Mark Hunt! Tai can seriously chop you down with those kicks! Tai had to emulate some ingredible Kickboxers and mma fighters as Hunt's sparring partners!
They are very similar. I give Hunt the edge on punching power and technique (because of all the experience), but Tai has age on his side, probably more athletic and more aggressive.
No Tai you are the perfect person to talk to about that subject. You speak with passion and heart on the matter, Especially coming from a street fighting background. I wish you the best of luck Saturday
It's hard to bet against Gane as he is one of the most exciting heavyweights from recent times. His footwork and fight IQ is impeccable, the ability to absorb knowledge in both stand-up, wrestling & BJJ second to none, figure out his opponents very quickly and has a gas tank to outlast any current HW on the card. He can effortlessly measure distance to stay out of trouble and pick you apart from outside. Tai by 1st round KO.
Cuz those idiot reporters don’t do they’re homework. Could of been like “How do u think you can counter Ciryls speed and agility” But yea these mma reporters are lacking any knowledge about the fighters they’re asking questions to.
It is seriously a joke that fighters don’t get flown business class. They are literally the product that the UFC sells. Why wouldn’t you take care of them.
This is the best HW matchup. Two very fluid fighters. One is a trained fighter and the other is a street fighter. I called for this before they fought Black Beast.
Not many fighter's are fit to be role models,but Tai certainly is.what a FKN top bloke.I can't help but think the french will love him even after he defeats their champion
@@FTFT-03 they didn’t expect him to make his own way think they paid or offered him a 2nd class ticket he jus decided to pay for his own first class, still is crazy tho cause a heavy weight contender should atleast get a flight out
Tai is one of the most entertaining hw fights in the ufc but I hope he’s done his hw bc if he goes in there looking for the knockout it may be a long night for him
@@cjdig86 With what exactly? The only reason we saw him dismantle Lewis like that is because he is not durable. Gane is notorious for having pillow hands, and Tai has one of the best chins in HW
@@tdotgang538 stop it. He got chinned by an old JDS and almost KOd by Hardy and Lewis. He was lucky to make it out of those fights honestly. Tuivasa is much less durable than Gane and he’s about to get slumped again.
That line about mick and the flights rubbed me the wrong way “it’s in your contract” I was hoping he would evaluate more but sounds like fighters have to take care of themselves until the fight
He upgraded his family… I think if you fly with family ufc will only cover coach for everybody… it’s up to you to upgrade yourself and family at that point. Being why he said “I think we should all fly business” unfortunately the ufc ain’t covering it and most sports won’t. But somebody like tai a family man is not gonna fly business and them not be with him. That’s what I’ve gotten from the situation. Which I mean to be fair most companies aren’t covering 11 first class tickets unless is something huge like the NBA NFL or MLB and ufc isn’t no where near that kind of salary
Tai is definitely my favourite fighter on the roster. In and out the cage he’s a real good influence. I hope he gets the win because I wanna see him be champion
"My game plan is to just go in their and fight" Yeah this is why I think Gane got this one. He knows how to break guys down with martial arts who just like to "fight"
Obviously he has a gameplan but just in general it’s a dumb question to ask a fighter. Even if you ask a technical fighter I doubt they’ll answer the question with detail
Fuck your thoughts, tai is the money fight, as soon as I hear he’s on the card, I’m tuning in, he’s a real one , fight any man to feed his family, and humble as they come, all due respect 🙌🏻💯👊🏻

Dude Tai stood with Lewis and almost got chinned. Gane stood with Lewis and didn’t get touched. Tuivasa is a likeable guy but he’s about to get fkn smoked. This is a bad mismatch.
Wild West St Mary’s bro we don’t fuck around here in Sydney and our boy is going to show the word to start showing some respect to Aussies because we have pub fights that would make boxing look like a joke, kick ass bro you got this so proud of you taking the family and friends it shows how much love you have for everyone around you OZI OZI OZI LFG!! It’s ashame Steve Will Do It isn’t going to be there he loves you so much
I really hope Tuivasa wins because him vs Ngannou would be more exciting than Jones Stipe or Gane and forget Blaydes 2 fights ago he was flatlined by Lewis and you can hardly call that last fight against Aspinal a win
So well said and so accurate for children if they want to get into the MMA sport it teaches them self-defense, how to stay humble/grounded build their confidence and learn how to control oneself Bam Bam hit the nail right on the head.. I can't wait for this fight this weekend and to see who comes out Victorious I really like Cyril but I'm going to cheer for Bam Bam my Island brother for this fight, let's go!
I love Tai... However, I'm not sure he has that "champion mentality" maybe it's just part of his chill laid back demeanor but it seems like he is missing that drive. It might all just be part of his character and he is actually super motivated but comparing it to the Jiri's, Olives, Volks, Izzy - it just seems lacking.
Ehhhh a lot of champs like Silva & jose … different country men have been this humble and crushed people. Some people just don’t talk a lot but u can hear the motivation in those hits
Look back at videos from those people you mentioned, way before they were champs. And you’ll find some humbleness as well. Also being a rowdy lowdy athlete is not something that every fan likes. You might prefer it. But it’s not the same for everybody.
Ciryl will win he’s too creative. He will pick him apart. He moves too well. I wouldn’t be suprised if he ended it with a head kick. If not he will win by decision. Tai is slow and gane isn’t going to let him turn it into a dogfight.
@@OnionRick he ain’t gonna get close enough to land enough to have any effect, guys genuinely awesome and fun to watch, but he’s just another Derik Lewis
I wouldn’t say Tai is slow, but all your other points make a lot more sense. Tai’s actually one of the fastest HWs in the division and I wouldn’t be surprised if his gameplan is to use his speed and toughness to get in clinch position and throw elbows
I think Tai can easily pull this off. I have Gane as a favorite by a small margin, and I can see him dancing around on his way to a boring decision victory. But I can also see Tai going in for the knockout and he's a way better, faster puncher than what he's being credited. I just went and put my money on Tai for this one.
Yes and tai is also more skilled than gane. If we are talking raw talent, speed, power, ring iq, wrestling, BJJ tai takes it by far. This is literally an amateur going up against a martial arts MASTER. TAI BY MURDER, round 1.

how can u not like this guy gl brotha
I love how Tia has openly admitted to not knowing all the rules, he just loves to fight.
Keep winning man. Love watching you fight
Tai gonna come out with a W

@@Tj-uu1ww I fw cyril too 💯
Ufc with those top notch audio skills once again
No
Hahahahaha he goes you got a good grip hahaha
Why is it so hard for you guys to figure out the audio…billionaire company wit the brain of a squirrel.
What's not to love about this true blue fairdinkum straight up real talking G? Go you good thing. Love ya Tai.
Eshay
This dude is the gem of the ufc
I agree
Want Tai to win but Gane is just too good and too smart. See it going like the Lewis fight but I hope I am wrong.
Lewis fought gun shy vs gane
@@ppvplug3940 came in looking heavier than usual too, shows how hard he (didn’t) trained..
Finally a presser with decent audio
Kinda fucked how he has to pay for his own flights
Welcome to the real world 🗿
The answer to the final question proves that Tai is not just a hardcore fighter but a brilliant talker as well.
If he wins , I will start believing that Nate has a chance
They will show u like Leon did
@@spicybeatzz8043 Leon at least had better striking than Usman and showed the work he put in with his wrestling and bjj
Tai is heavily out reached by a guy who avoided and survived Francis's punch with head movement there's no way Tai wins
@@spicybeatzz8043 that would be awesome
@@dn8632 Tai has way better hands than Francis

I can't see Gane trading with Tai, I think he will be very grappling/take down heavy
Nah he's gonna point fight from distance. Tai will get discouraged nothing more demoralizing than taking clean shots and being unable to land your own
@@kevindurantburner3592 nah bruh
Tai like 120kg haha
Dude Tai stood with Lewis and almost got chinned. Gane stood with Lewis and didn’t get touched. Tuivasa is a likeable guy but he’s about to get fkn smoked. This is a bad mismatch.

3.4 billion the company was sold for and they still got garbage microphones.
Imagine that.
Transport issues
Jon Jones will make him piss that dirty beer for 5 rounds if he survives the first round...🤣🤣🤣.
What tai said isn’t wrong though . We have to see Jones at HW .
Wild West St Mary’s bro we don’t fuck around here in Sydney and our boy is going to show the word to start showing some respect to Aussies because we have pub fights that would make boxing look like a joke, kick ass bro you got this so proud of you taking the family and friends it shows how much love you have for everyone around you OZI OZI OZI LFG!! It’s ashame Steve Will Do It isn’t going to be there he loves you so much
Billion dollar company, $2 microphone..
Support from the USA Tai 🇺🇸 💪
Jon jones would destroy him way too skilled
I really hope Tuivasa wins because him vs Ngannou would be more exciting than Jones Stipe or Gane and forget Blaydes 2 fights ago he was flatlined by Lewis and you can hardly call that last fight against Aspinal a win
Dummy
I was sort of thinking the same
So well said and so accurate for children if they want to get into the MMA sport it teaches them self-defense, how to stay humble/grounded build their confidence and learn how to control oneself Bam Bam hit the nail right on the head.. I can't wait for this fight this weekend and to see who comes out Victorious I really like Cyril but I'm going to cheer for Bam Bam my Island brother for this fight, let's go!
I love Tai... However, I'm not sure he has that "champion mentality" maybe it's just part of his chill laid back demeanor but it seems like he is missing that drive.
It might all just be part of his character and he is actually super motivated but comparing it to the Jiri's, Olives, Volks, Izzy - it just seems lacking.
yea i agree. Seems like he's our next Lewis but more technical and less quit. Really likable heavy hitter but unlikely to be champ.
Tai has always been in it just to get paid to feed his family. He could probably givea rats ass about having champion mentality
@Silent Witness I think he’s more likable tho
Ehhhh a lot of champs like Silva & jose … different country men have been this humble and crushed people. Some people just don’t talk a lot but u can hear the motivation in those hits
Look back at videos from those people you mentioned, way before they were champs. And you’ll find some humbleness as well.
Also being a rowdy lowdy athlete is not something that every fan likes. You might prefer it. But it’s not the same for everybody.
One of my favorite fighters on the roster RN
I like Tai, but Gane is a huge problem for him
@@seeeworld what happen buddy?
Wouldn't be a UFC event without some sort of audio issue at the start
Ciryl will win he’s too creative. He will pick him apart. He moves too well. I wouldn’t be suprised if he ended it with a head kick. If not he will win by decision. Tai is slow and gane isn’t going to let him turn it into a dogfight.
Tai has nasty leg kicks though. It will be interesting to see how Gane manages that
@@OnionRick he ain’t gonna get close enough to land enough to have any effect, guys genuinely awesome and fun to watch, but he’s just another Derik Lewis
@@OnionRick Gane knows how to check leg kicks assuming he doesn’t use his superior speed to get out before chubby boy throws the kick.
I wouldn’t say Tai is slow, but all your other points make a lot more sense. Tai’s actually one of the fastest HWs in the division and I wouldn’t be surprised if his gameplan is to use his speed and toughness to get in clinch position and throw elbows
@@AndreWillyHarris Tai doesn’t strike me as fast
Win or lose this guy is awesome, get this man a shoe!
I think Tai can easily pull this off. I have Gane as a favorite by a small margin, and I can see him dancing around on his way to a boring decision victory. But I can also see Tai going in for the knockout and he's a way better, faster puncher than what he's being credited. I just went and put my money on Tai for this one.
Bro Ciryl is very entertaining and impressive to watch wdym. You don't know sht
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes and tai is also more skilled than gane. If we are talking raw talent, speed, power, ring iq, wrestling, BJJ tai takes it by far. This is literally an amateur going up against a martial arts MASTER. TAI BY MURDER, round 1.
Cyril fights arent boring he goes in and out and pulls out great combination.
