Thought Jones looked slow (as do all heavyweights) but effective. Gane just showed poor fight IQ turning away from a wrestler that close to him, then awful TDD, then no heart in a choke that was never ever going to put him out.

Thanks. Overall a very disappointing fight. Not many good fighters at heavyweight eitherBaby Face Finster wrote: ↑04 Mar 2023, 21:18The questions surrounding this fight are if Gane can keep it standing because Jones' ground game is way better than his. Gane's only chance is to keep the fight standing. Other questions are how much will the weight gain will affect Jones' speed and how rusty will he be because of the long layoff. I think Jones will still win because he still has the reach advantage and knows how to use it to his advantage.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑02 Mar 2023, 11:10 Can any hardcore MMA fans give a rundown on Jones - Gane?
Jones is the favourite, but this is his first fight at heavy and he hasn’t fought for 3 years. It seems his last 3 fights were not that impressive….
Gane looks massive, I don’t think he has that much power though but at one stage he was meant to be the next greta heavyweight….

I’m just looking for an expert breakdown as I’m a casual essentially.

Right. There’s not much there. Pavlovich? Maybe. Stipe - past it.

Cejudo is back and he's challenging Sterling.

Re: MMA
This weekend's 2 main event fights should be real good. I hope Edwards knocks out that boring Octopus once again.

I'm pretty sure this UFC card is where it's at today. Early start time today from London UK. ![[icon_wink.gif] ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
