Gane's game plan seemed to be strike from outside + mix in takedowns, then wait for Bigi Boy to get tired and/or give him the rush. Bigi Boy's game plan seemed to be be patient, counter, and wait for Gane to give up on the poke poke out striking and then have a brawl.

So both of their game plans depended largely on the opponent making a major tactical error to be able to have anything happen in the fight at all.

Yeah but if Gane's plan A is comfortably winning the rounds it's on Rozenstruck to make a move.

Have either of those guys been in a 5 round fight before? I feel like everyone paces themselves differently for those, and for heavyweights who aren't particularly energetic in the first place, they'll just kind of let time go by without making a ton happen

Rozenstruik knocked out Reem with like 5 seconds left in round 5

Gane's maturity, discipline and calmness is most impressive for how green he is. Definitely a solid prospect, shouldn't be rushed to a title shot though.

the problem there is Rozenstruik was ranked #4 and #3 just got knocked the gently caress out by #2, so your current top-ranked heavyweight contenders are either Derrick Lewis or Ciryl Gane

if bones gets the next title shot as rumored gane can fight volkov in the meantime, or lewis i guess, but i don't want to do that to derrick

Would you be my new best friends?

Derrick Lewis somehow being the guy who sends Jon Jones to the shadow realm would be incredible. Just for the inevitable cut to a purple-faced Dana White.
