Francis was much more robotic back in the day than he is now. He looks a lot better. His key to victory is straight shots and hooks mixed in intelligently, like he did in the Stipe rematch.

That was the problem that hindered his entire tittle reign and was part of the beef he and Dana had, Stipe felt Dana wanted him to lose because Stipe wasn't that big of a draw and basically killed the heavyweight division through his dominance.
Stipe is a great fighter. But his communication skills were garbage and you can barely understand what he says when he starts talking. He also sits out waiting for handouts.. dude you got KTFO you gotta get back on the horse and fight. Look at what Whittaker did when he lost...dude went back and smashed all contenders back to back to claim his shot again
Cyril for me is one of the most likeable fighters (technically and personally) in UFC. Francis has the best backstory without a doubt. Looking forward to this but gonna be gutted for whoever loses
How come the two biggest scariest dudes are the nicest and quietest? I honestly feel bad for how many times this guy is gonna get asked about Francis walking by him without hi fiving...
Francis i belive is big headed and way to cocky for his position....Lewis showed how scared he is of power!...stipe showed what skill can do....im leaning towards ciryl
Honestly it was Ngannous fault when he fought Lewis. Ngannou acted like the aggressor coming forward and then every time Lewis would come forward Francis would retreat. Made Ngannou look like he is a fearful man. Gane seems much more fearless and relaxed. Ngannou wants everyone to fear him because he lives a life of fear.
@@maalikwilliams80 yep, he was even sad when Junior dos Santos told him he elbowed him at the back of his head after their fight, when the truth is it was behind the ear
Yeah man. Bcz gane still cant catch what the reporter asked him. Cuz maybe it's a little too fast for him. But soon for sure he will be better. Like khabib lol
This guy has amazing clarity of mind. One thing i am sure even if he loses, that will not affect him emotionally as much as it would many other. And that's what sets him apart. Because of his mental strength, he will eventually become a champion & reign long.
@Brian T Neary 100% This has to be the most interesting fight in the HW division is so many years. I think either Francis or Cyril against Jones will be another extremely interesting fight. Dana, please just pay JJ what he wants. He has been champ for many years and paid his dues despite the issues

@@jeffrockr Thank you professor but I’m french, I know what I mean… Yes tomorrow mean « demain » but it can be use to indicate in a general way the futur in everyday language. That the case for Gane. I let you argue with other guy, waste my time.
@@johndixo1689 im also french, its my native language, and my gfs is english. While tomorrow can be used to say in the future, it has to be used properly to do so. Something like "todays fight will lead to tomorrows legacy" or things like that, then it would work. Using "Tomorrow" to talk about something in the future is used in a general way, not to talk about anything specific. This case is the perfect exemple of a misuse of tomorrow by Gane. Not that it matters, hes doing pretty good with his english overall, but using tomorrow the way he does is just misleading and a bad choice of words for this particular use. Jvais te laisser en débattre avec les autres.
Gane say him and Aspinal are new breed , New kids on the block, somebody got to notice that . Before it's too late.If they fight at the end of year one as a defending champion it wouldn't be a surprise, Jones and Francis minds are still on the contract issues.
Rozenstruik also came with this Technical kickboxing stuff and was flattened. He was also a champion kickboxer so was Overeem. Francis has a history of flattering kickboxers.
Gane is so Charismatic but in a soft way. Soft spoken, but his skills are wild. Still rooting for Francis, but if Gane wins it will be very well deserved.
Cyril is a refreshing presence not just in the heavyweight division but the whole promotion. If his ground game is parallel to his striking he's going to be extremely difficult to get the jump on.
Gane is what Jon Jones thought he’d be at heavyweight. I know we haven’t seen Jon at heavyweight but I’ve followed this for 15 years and every ounce of my being tells me Gane would tune Jones the fuck up at heavyweight.
Every time I see a MacLife upload, I do a small excitement poo thinking it’s a new Pub Talk w Hangman 😞 😞 But yea. Whoever wins this, barring an immediate rematch, will keep that title for a while. Jones loses to both IMO, and he’s the 🐐. Get @ me.
This would be a very fun fight! Both fighters are very techincal, one is considered to be the goat. And the other could be the current goat of his division, if he wins the title and racks up some impressive title defenses.
Very cool the way he sees the importance of doing endless media appearances as part and parcel of raising the profile of the sport in France to bring up the next generation over his own personal conveniences. That is the measure of the man.
Why does no one give Gane credit for his control of space & pace of the fights? We may have not seen his full arsenal nor his power, but the man can control distance & stay safe & counter when it's there. I got Gane winning, either by 4th round tko or UD.
Cyril Gane will take Ngannou into deep water and literally drown him. Should be a blockbuster because you know Ngannou is gonna try knock Gane out in the first 2 rounds. If it goes to the championship rounds it's all Gane, that's his territory. Gotta love how he explained he is not the champion. All those clowns that have interim belts truly think they're champions. Cyril Gane just clarified it. Get rid of the interim belts.
Isn't it funny how the two most dangerous and baddest men on the planet are so friendly calm polite humble and intelligent... How can you not love these guys!! Can't wait to see the fight!! 😬😬😬
I wish at least one of them was half way displeased with something, anything, they are just too fucking nice, I swear, it’s hard to route for either of them to win, forget win by vicious KO, fucking hell, we’d all be sad for both of them no matter what the outcome was lol

Damn Ciryl comes off very likeable and genuine. I'm a Ngannou fan, but i wish this dude well, after the fight :)
I like em both but would prefer gane to be champion. Ciryl might just be my new favorite fighter. If Francis wins though I’m not going to be mad, nothing but love
@@chasevids14 how can you like Ngannou? He only talked shit about Gane, conducted himself like a douche in his presser and showed who he really is.
Love both fighters... honestly don't know what's going to happen
Kobe!
I think Gane was just being polite by allowing the translator to repeat the question in French, as he was clearly answering well in English.
Translator is his coach Fernand Lopes
As an English born taught to learn French, I got great respect for Gane for learning English.
Born in the us and learned French?
Or born in France speaking English and learned French?
@@euphoricnotes3409 Nothing to do with the US. Born in England with French citizenship and French speaking family, though we are African. Nevertheless, Brexit put us in an awkward position. I think I worded my original comment incorrectly lol
@@Echani3007 since that album earl never rapped like a man again
@@leandroantelo7154 lmao I laughed seeing this comment lol but I think Earl raps the same. It’s his beat selection that I have a hard time listening to
Stipe will have to force his way back because it seems like everyone forgot about the greatest hw imo
He was never that interesting of a guy to be honest. Should have made himself more memorable over the years.
That was the problem that hindered his entire tittle reign and was part of the beef he and Dana had, Stipe felt Dana wanted him to lose because Stipe wasn't that big of a draw and basically killed the heavyweight division through his dominance.
Thats what the ufc does....stipe was never a wave maker.hes a humble guy so ofcorse when he loses they shut it all down....
Stipe is a great fighter. But his communication skills were garbage and you can barely understand what he says when he starts talking. He also sits out waiting for handouts.. dude you got KTFO you gotta get back on the horse and fight. Look at what Whittaker did when he lost...dude went back and smashed all contenders back to back to claim his shot again
his fault for fighting only once a year
Cyril for me is one of the most likeable fighters (technically and personally) in UFC. Francis has the best backstory without a doubt. Looking forward to this but gonna be gutted for whoever loses
How come the two biggest scariest dudes are the nicest and quietest? I honestly feel bad for how many times this guy is gonna get asked about Francis walking by him without hi fiving...
Francis i belive is big headed and way to cocky for his position....Lewis showed how scared he is of power!...stipe showed what skill can do....im leaning towards ciryl
Francis isn’t nice lol
Mark my words this will be a snoozefest. Neither is gonna wanna be the first to engage. Lewis vs Nnganou 2.0 here we come. Gane by UD.
Honestly it was Ngannous fault when he fought Lewis. Ngannou acted like the aggressor coming forward and then every time Lewis would come forward Francis would retreat. Made Ngannou look like he is a fearful man. Gane seems much more fearless and relaxed. Ngannou wants everyone to fear him because he lives a life of fear.
Fear is completely different monster. It has no muscles or power and can render what we perceive as a scary person completely powerless.
I wouldn’t go as far as snoozefest
Ganes technique is something to behold at heavyweight. Even watching him move and feint is pretty entertaining
He is unusually calm. There has to be a storm that will follow!
He's always calm
I agree my man, the dude doesn't even celebrate when he gets the victory. I'm impressed with that alone.
@@maalikwilliams80 yep, he was even sad when Junior dos Santos told him he elbowed him at the back of his head after their fight, when the truth is it was behind the ear
Jon jones cant jump over Stipe like that… i mean he can because UFC is all about money but i hope not
Stipe has all but one in the current top 15. He should fight Derrick Lewis.
Stipe😂 has he came back from the shadow realm yet?
@@realhoodbaby1023 haha funny 😶
How old is Stipe ??
jon jones is undefeated and has been for over 10 years so why not
I like Cyril a lot. Always loved Francis, don’t know who to root for. Great fight
Dana if Gane wins: "Cereal Gain was ALWAYS my Friend"
It’s crazy how many ads I’ve seen from that proper 12 but I haven’t seen a single good review of it
It always cracks me up when a interpreter gives the question back to the guy and they answer back in English shit is hilarious 😂
Yeah man. Bcz gane still cant catch what the reporter asked him. Cuz maybe it's a little too fast for him. But soon for sure he will be better. Like khabib lol
I think it’s for Gane to make sure he understands the question fully, and answering back in English is maybe to improve his speech
It's obvious his comprehension skills aren't as strong as his speaking skills. I'm sure he understands most but doesn't catch every word
Gane hasn't lost any rounds in his career and just beat Lewis who has the most ko's in the UFC. He could become the champ next...
Almost every question was a good one, congrats to the MMA media dis time.
We had Velasquez Dos Santos in their prime back in the days, we today have Cyril against Francis. Hard to predict both are on top of their game
They fought 3 times which is crazy. Cain went 5 straight fights only fighting JDS and Bigfoot Silva
@@Harry_Paratesties who knows, tomorrow's fight might be the beginning of a trilogy also
Bet the house on Francis
Everyone who talked about Jon Jones before their fight has lost.
ngannou talked about jon before stipe fight
but francis got a haircut on embedded
@@asdf3668 yeah also moreno
@@asdf3668 Usman broke the curse in the rematch with masvidal .
Ngannou has talked about Jones for a long time 🤣
Quel humilité Cyrille , toujours aussi génial ce meck ! bravo
This guy has amazing clarity of mind. One thing i am sure even if he loses, that will not affect him emotionally as much as it would many other. And that's what sets him apart. Because of his mental strength, he will eventually become a champion & reign long.
@Brian T Neary 100% This has to be the most interesting fight in the HW division is so many years. I think either Francis or Cyril against Jones will be another extremely interesting fight. Dana, please just pay JJ what he wants. He has been champ for many years and paid his dues despite the issues
Jones wanted 30 Mil to fight Francis lmao, I don't even think conor makes that
@@cheyslaps1084 no Conor doesn’t even make that 😂. That’s an insane amount. Conor made like 3 mil fighting Dustin the 2nd time. Idk if his contract includes pvp buys but his show was 3 mil
@@kodybroderick5322 Conor makes around 30 million including the ppv cut. I believe Jones asked somewhere between 10-20 million. Deontay Wilder money is Dana's narrative. Jones last made something like 540k to show, which is insane considering the amount of title defenses he's had. Even Usman makes more than Jones.
Hope UFC gets a cool and classy HW Champ in Ciryl Gane very soon👍 Such a pleasant and intelligent young man!
I wonder if Jon gets next?
The journalist who asked the question about Cyril Gane being the most photogenic fighter is my hero 🤙🤙
I like what Gane brought to Heavy Weight which is the technical aspect in fighting that was almost absent in HW.
hearing Ciryl saying 'tomorrow' so many times he almost convinced me he was fighting tomorrow. Must be mistaking saturday for tomorrow.
It's because in french "tomorrow" can also mean "in the near futur".
@@johndixo1689 tomorrow means "demain" in french, and that means the day after today.
@@jeffrockr Thank you professor but I’m french, I know what I mean… Yes tomorrow mean « demain » but it can be use to indicate in a general way the futur in everyday language. That the case for Gane.
I let you argue with other guy, waste my time.
@@johndixo1689 im also french, its my native language, and my gfs is english.
While tomorrow can be used to say in the future, it has to be used properly to do so. Something like "todays fight will lead to tomorrows legacy" or things like that, then it would work. Using "Tomorrow" to talk about something in the future is used in a general way, not to talk about anything specific. This case is the perfect exemple of a misuse of tomorrow by Gane. Not that it matters, hes doing pretty good with his english overall, but using tomorrow the way he does is just misleading and a bad choice of words for this particular use.
Jvais te laisser en débattre avec les autres.
The translator was Fernand Lopez the coach of ciryl. And as a French speaker, he transleted the question with a lot of accuracy !
Gane say him and Aspinal are new breed , New kids on the block, somebody got to notice that . Before it's too late.If they fight at the end of year one as a defending champion it wouldn't be a surprise, Jones and Francis minds are still on the contract issues.
I'm so sure he will win it's not gonna be an long fight
Yeah it won't take long for Francis to knock him out.
14:35 Jon Jones Button. No Problem!
TQ
Rozenstruik also came with this Technical kickboxing stuff and was flattened. He was also a champion kickboxer so was Overeem. Francis has a history of flattering kickboxers.
Gane is a muay thai guy not a kickboxer. And overeem got koed by half of the ufc hw roster lmao
@@divineoverhand5307 Mauy Thai is a form of kickboxing. Come on brother!
Gane is so Charismatic but in a soft way. Soft spoken, but his skills are wild. Still rooting for Francis, but if Gane wins it will be very well deserved.
Happy to see TheMacLife going first in the press conference
Francis will be humbled and sign with Eagle FC after getting an MMA Lesson from Ciryl
Go home lol
Hahaha.. and then you woke up..
I agree. Francis will get schooled.
Eagle fc doesnt have hw division lol
@@voiceofreason1829 and you call yourself the voice of reason?
Nice for him to shout out Tom Aspinall, this is the new era
I’m so excited for this fight
Cyril is a refreshing presence not just in the heavyweight division but the whole promotion. If his ground game is parallel to his striking he's going to be extremely difficult to get the jump on.
Francis will knock out gane
This won’t age well
@@receward554 we will see French boi
@@punchclan7186 we will see american boi
Calm down bois

Gane VS Jones is the fight i didn't know i needed in my life..
tom aspinall and cyril gane will be a huge fight in a few years from now. I think Tom has huge potential
Ye it will be England vs France the old rivalry back in action. Definitely be a big fight imo
Siii
@Mystic Editor You act like he didn't beat people..
@Mystic Editor seems like everyone is over hyped nowadays unless they are champion
He’s good fast and powerful but he does leave he’s chin open quite often like Till
I really want to see this man win, Francis just seems like he's letting everything go to his head. This man seems so humble
Gane is what Jon Jones thought he’d be at heavyweight.
I know we haven’t seen Jon at heavyweight but I’ve followed this for 15 years and every ounce of my being tells me Gane would tune Jones the fuck up at heavyweight.
The French translator was on point. Probably the best I've heard.
Every time I see a MacLife upload, I do a small excitement poo thinking it’s a new Pub Talk w Hangman 😞 😞
But yea. Whoever wins this, barring an immediate rematch, will keep that title for a while.
Jones loses to both IMO, and he’s the 🐐. Get @ me.
This would be a very fun fight! Both fighters are very techincal, one is considered to be the goat. And the other could be the current goat of his division, if he wins the title and racks up some impressive title defenses.
Very cool the way he sees the importance of doing endless media appearances as part and parcel of raising the profile of the sport in France to bring up the next generation over his own personal conveniences. That is the measure of the man.
How does anyone not love this guy??
He looks super calm for a guy who is going to fight Francis lol
Confidence
Why does no one give Gane credit for his control of space & pace of the fights? We may have not seen his full arsenal nor his power, but the man can control distance & stay safe & counter when it's there.
I got Gane winning, either by 4th round tko or UD.
Would you bet 200$ on it?
Come on cereal! 🥣
It’s sea-rill
This man could be the most dominant and unstoppable mix martial artist of this generation!
Gane is a great dude. Hope he is able to wake up fast from the brutal knockout he’s about to suffer
he's going to chop down francis bud
@@Thiiink thats my point....the lower kicks could be devastating to Francis.
Very well spoken
Love this guy. Such a bad ass and such a good dude. Reminds me of a French version of Junior dos Santos.
Grappling advantage over a striker along with experience speaks volumes.
Cyril Gane will take Ngannou into deep water and literally drown him.
Should be a blockbuster because you know Ngannou is gonna try knock Gane out in the first 2 rounds. If it goes to the championship rounds it's all Gane, that's his territory. Gotta love how he explained he is not the champion. All those clowns that have interim belts truly think they're champions. Cyril Gane just clarified it. Get rid of the interim belts.
This is one the fights where I don’t want either one to lose
Let s go Gane !!
Isn't it funny how the two most dangerous and baddest men on the planet are so friendly calm polite humble and intelligent... How can you not love these guys!! Can't wait to see the fight!! 😬😬😬
I wish at least one of them was half way displeased with something, anything, they are just too fucking nice, I swear, it’s hard to route for either of them to win, forget win by vicious KO, fucking hell, we’d all be sad for both of them no matter what the outcome was lol
Jus like Dustin vs Olivera even tho I knew Charles was going to beat his ass
@@timmyturner999_ Yeah Do Bronx is a fucking stone cold killer at staredown and in the cage
God bless
5 seconds in and he’s already laughing this gonna be a good interview LMAO
Jones doesn't deserve to skip the line. He should be starting with someone like Tuivasa and work his way up the rankings.
You knew this was dumb when you typed it
@@jonnylegend7315 I agree champion don’t have to start from the bottom of a weight division if they don’t want to also jon would beat that guy even tho jon Jones is a narcissistic asshole
Fighting a ranked guy isn’t starting at the bottom. Fuck Jones. Why should he fight the champ before Stipe or Lewis?
@@kurtsalamacha well Lewis lost the chance to fight for the belt when gane beat him so that leave him out the picture and stripe just lost to francis easily so
Tuivasa is about to get brutally koed by lewis soon sadly...
Everyone talks about Nganou’s English and how much he has improved but nobody is talking about Gane’s English, pretty good too
This is going to be a nerve-wrecking fight! My butt-cheeks are going to be clenched for as long as it lasts!
Same
Man, its hard not to like this dude. Hope this is a great fight for both men
