Ciryl Gane is easily the chillest fighter in the ufc
Wonderboy
@@seeno1 wonder boy is less calm than gane. That’s what he means.
derrick lewis is chiller imo
Leon
Marvin Vettori and Sean Strickland
These two are the most likeable/genuine but entertaining fighter’s in the organisation pity one has to lose
No. Draws and no contests are possible
yeah - its hard to pick a side.
Both respected fighters in their own right. It’s a win win for everyone as long as both give a valiant and exciting fight
But only ciryl is skilled!
Could be a draw
The heart says Tai but the head says Gane.
I feel the opposite
@@Abman31 Care to explain why your head says Tai over Gane? What's the reasoning there?
Never know brother we will see
@@Abman31 confused like ur profile picture
Stylistically this seems like another Gane vs Lewis but I think Tuivasa will try to turn it into a dog fight more than Lewis did so it will be interesting
Ciryl gane is the best representative France could ever ask for. Class act, beast of an athlete and total killer All while being cool as can be. I’m sure the French are grateful for such an amazing athlete and person to be representing them. True gentlemen
I love Gane, he’s actually my favourite fighter simply because I have never seen a heavyweight move and kick the way he does. He’s a proper martial artist and a great athlete and even better, seems like a chilled dude!
Easily my favorite too. Beautiful execution and incredible fight IQ
Tom Aspinall Moves Just As Well As Gane
@@mfumonkuna6380 he does. Sucks that he got injured. Hope he heals up and stays busy next year. 🙏🏽
Yeah, he run fast🤣
@@elkamynante can you see the door in your back , you can take it, run baby
Ciryl is a freak of nature when it comes to athleticism but I really think Tai is being overlooked… either way I like them both… they are both genuine and very humble.
I Disagree. I Feel Gane Has Got This. Hes Obviously better than tai. but he respects him. and knows hes the best. so hes not overlooking tai. dude. didnt you fckn watch the video?
@@ZoanoidKing1175 Derrick Lewis had Tai too… I remember when mma was new and I thought the ufc was a sport. Did you miss the fight between Leon and Kamaru… I’m not sure but I don’t think the best man that night won the fight… 🤔
@@simplytrolling6869 the better striker won that night
@@simplytrolling6869 Usman will always be the superior wrestler, with superior punching power; but Leon will always be the superior technical striker, with superior speed & agility.
In addition and unlike the smaller, shorter, and less mobile Colby, Masvidal, and Burns, Leon also is taller & more athletic than Usman.
Leon also has the superior leg reach and superior Muay Thai that could end a fight at any second and that's exactly what happened.
Remember, Leon also came close to subbing the big man on the mat, if not for Usman illegally putting his fingers into Leon's glove, preventing it from inching his arm deeper into Usman's neck, first round. Leon's skills are not "a fluke."
If all Leon had were "flukes," the big, powerful wrestler would have EASILY put Leon out of commission in 8 tough rounds of fighting in which every tackle, every punch, and every kick from Usman was MEANT to hurt or to put Leon out of commission... as what happened to Colby, Burns, and Masvidal...
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 idk Usman was getting the better of Leon even in striking that night so I wouldn’t say Leon is more technical than Usman. He was only more technical for one second when that leg kick landed
May both fighters have a safe fight.
With that being said...
LET'S GO, TAI BAM BAM TUIVASA!!!
A wise man one said trudat trudat
Love that, I always pray for all the fighter’s safety 💯
Eshayyyyyyyyyyyy
I both don’t want them to lose.
that the problem
Gon b a draw
@@BerserkerX not a chance
Finally some espn actual UFC content. Need way more. This sport is on a rocket ship. ESPN needs to push it more. Best promoter in history and best sports channel. This should be primetime every single Saturday
They just continuesly make the best fights no tune ups or record padding once your in the top ten, they should do these embedded style videos every card. Good to look back on when stars emerge
@Big Dawg whaaa 🤣 ufc & mma in general is as big as its ever been and its only getting bigger, boxing is on a decline because of mmas rise and the antics of people like jake Paul and shitty promoters that don't make the fights people want to see the heavyweight division in boxing is the worst its been ever the whole of boxing is just a corrupt mess the ufcs corrupt but atleast they put on the fights we want to see every week
@Big Dawg Care to elaborate? Its literally expanding..
"I can't stop thinking about the belt". Tai is going in with the perfect attitude for this fight.
Definitely something to consider. Super interesting matchup
It sucks one of them have to lose, they’re both admirable and have crazy backgrounds. Best of luck to both of them, this Saturday 🤝🏽!!
Tai can’t win this fight lmao
Nobody never write Ciryl the right way, even ESPN MMA 😆
at first I read it as Cyrus
Cereal Gone
I use to call him Cereal Gane 🤣
No one even take the time to Google him -.-
Acrílic Chan!
Now this is a sick promo
love them both. love their personalities and the way they fight 🔥 i love seeing knockouts but i dont want either of these guys to go down that way
I think both guys have great character, and a great story. I love watching both of them. Its gonna be a great fight.
definitely, the both are great fighters with very different fight style ; I go for Gane though but I do appreciate Tai .. let's fight !!!
Gane going to pick Tai apart
@@mmamultiverse75 if gane doesn't get caught with the bam bam overhand
If Cyril wins this one, I see him becoming champ in his next fight, whether that is against Francis or whoever
Francis: "Uhhhhh you shua?"
@@ruanoosthuysen5002 Francis was gifted that win. He did literally nothing with the takedowns after being complete outclassed in striking and the refs let him lay there on gane for the whole round doing nothing. I've seen refs stand fighters up for way less.
@@fernoramos94 only a monster would have put a stop to that. First time seeing a crowd not boo a guy for doing that
@@ruanoosthuysen5002 Francis lost that fight and Gane was injured too
"He just go there, then drink a beer in his shoes" 😂😂😂
that was hilarious
This was interesting to watch may the best man win,both great fighter 💪🏾❤️
Let's go Tai! Win the belt and show your boy you tough!!! Nobody can see a man's heart and that's your weapon.... When it gets real you'll thrive
I wish tai. He’s not training hard. Look at the first 20 seconds and how fat he is.
Baggy shirt hitting the mits and you can see his tits and stomach flopping around.
*Tai
when is the fight?
@@pitech4446 Saturday
@@CFox.7 thank you for embarrassing me in front of the world 🫣🫣
I love Ciryl’s game. A guy that big that throws quick crisp combo’s is so fun to watch.
I’m not remotely surprised espn doesn’t spell check
as a samoan i want tai to win but i like Gane too. i hope for a good fight from both. may the best win
Samoans have warrior hearts and French people have learned to respect them.
(Knock on wood about Google translate) Afai tou te asiasi mai, matou te talia outou o ni uso.
Tai is a great fighter and he has already won his biggest fight : overcoming his inner demons and wanting a good life for his son.
Why do I watch these!? I always end up getting attached to these fighters and don't want to see any of them lose.
12:22 - the neighbours must love that.
How on earth you're not gonna like Tuivasa personality?
Cane is cool as well.
Two nice monsters dudes!
"I'm from Western Sydney, we are the underdogs, now we're here.
We stroll on in, and do what we do and we take the bag home, just another day in office" with that calm but powerful voice, waow, I got beyond emotional. I did not know you Tuivasa, you got me.
Now I am in trouble, I love both fighters, don't wanna see either one loose.
One year after starting training MMA first fight in the UFC. That is the craziest thing about Gane he has only 4 years in mma and in the middle almost 1 year off for a knee operation and for a puncture lung
Gane is still evolving he is still a beginner in terms of experience but he is just so talented. Give it a couple more years he will be easily the best heavyweight ever
Huge fan of Gane but I of course gotta go with my uce Bam Bam 🇼🇸 much love and luck to Ciryl 🙏🏽
my heart is for both , theey 2 nice guys very polite and humble . much support for both
I didn't care about this fight, but having watched the video, I now like Tai Tuivasa a lot. He seems like a very genuine person.
How couldn’t you care for this fight it’s a banger
These two are just the most contagious personalities at HW
Great stuff!
Amateur Hour at ESPN again, shock
7:19
“I’m going to take more risks for the fans”
I personally like to see game plans and when fighters use their minds to find victory, I like brawls too but since he says that, I want to see if Cyril can think of a way to effectively brawl
Can’t wait
I like gameplans too but entertainment in fights is a must for me personally I didn't pay 70 dollar's for a hard sparring session
If Cyril brawls it’s lights out for him. He does not want to trade with Tai. He can only win on the outside.
@@trevorthabest161 doesn’t work like that
This is life and these guys need to fight for the longest time possible
Having big brawls every fight will only get u down the Justin gaetchji road n look how that’s turned out for him
@@Sambigs9112 well I'd rather be popular amongst the the fan base than undefeated but that's just me
Congratulations to Fernand Lopez. He has done so much for the sport in France.”. I hope they highlight his contributions at the event,
people are underrating this fight!!!!!
Who?
Ciryl is one of my favorite fighters to be honest, not only his fighting style, but this personality, seems so easy going and positive. :)
Bon Gamin 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You people are not serious. I have been in France for a while week. I’m back in the U.K. this Friday. Now I hear there is a fight in Paris.
But need to say to people who do not know. France is extremely beautiful. Paris, Lyon then Côte d’Azur - Nice, Monaco - Montecarlo, Cannes. Then we went to Grass today count de guillimard to create our own unique perfume scent.
The fact that the sea water is warm is icing on the cake.
Great time.
UA-cam should really add another commercial.
This Cyril Gane guy is so likable 💙 !
You just he was your brother ,cuisine or friend .
I think Ciryl likes to cook, so why not?
"im a banger... from western Sydney" that line is so cold man...
This is gonna be another one if those fights where both fighters will get cheers both great talented artists
I wouldn't want anyone else reppin our area in the UFC. You have made us proud my bruh and your showin the youngins that their is another way out. All the best this weekend Tui
It's rare for both fighters to be so likeable - may the best man win
no matter what you just cant not love Tai. He's an awesome humble strong man that can hold his ground with a great personality from down under! chuuurrr g LESSHGOOOO
Gane is going to make it look easy. I can't wait for Tom Aspinal vs Gane. That is going to be a huge fight, thinking about that fight gives me goosbumps
when tai lifted his shirt and said "same same?" LMFAO hes such a legend
This is going to be the the most exciting Fight Night of the year
I really feel bambam can get it done. Hes got his head on straight, hes improved so much since training in dubai... hes got stamina despite what ppl say, if he outworks him ontop of that id say bambam will get the decision.
Herb Dean fault
You honestly think he can survive gane on the feet with his speed? Not to mention his wind... I don't see it happening. Neither does Vegas. Gane -650 favorite
Watch the first 20 second of tai hitting pads. He’s so fat and out of shape you can see his titties and stomach swaying in slow motion under a baggy shirt.
Classic "puncher's chance" scenario.......
Ciryl has very nice tattoos, slick, clean, rare and symmetrically distributed on his body.
Which one of Derrick Lewis’s fathers will win?
Everyone is writing Bam-Bam off 🥶
Tuivasa va rentrer d'emblée dans Ciryl pour casser son jeu de jambes, son in and out, et tenter de placer coudes ou/et poings.
Victoire par soumission de la part de Gane au 1er round ce serait magnifique
IM JUST SORRY' SOMEONE HAS TO LOOSE. BOTH OF THESE GUYS ARE GOOD GUYS. BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH.
"He go in there do his thing and drink beer in his shoes" 😩🤣😂😂😭
Let’s go Tai, get Gane against the cage and unload those elbows
Gane is such a complete fighter and moves incredibly well for a Heavyweight. Tai is what he always says he is, a banger and he will bang on with anyone. Love both fighters but I'm going with Tai on this one.
Bro there is no way Tai win.. I love him but c'mon, he doesnt have anything else than powerful hands, Gane just needs to stay out of pocket then he's better than him everywhere
@@iknowilookdumbwhenisaythis5593 I had that same mindset with Usman vs Edward's but look how that turned out. Gane can play the perfect game plan for 4 rounds but if that one shot from Tai lands perfectly on his chin it's over.
@@iknowilookdumbwhenisaythis5593 Any given Sunday, anything can happen
@@youngescanor But Leon is a different guy, very technical very sharp and clean. I just doubt tai will pull off a surprise technique like that, he really only have very very heavy hooks. See his fight with Sergey Spivak - he has no ground game at all, he is not technical
@@iknowilookdumbwhenisaythis5593 Tai doesn't need a surprise technique, all he has to do is land one clean hit
just to see the best mma fighters in the word inthe best organisation UFC fightings in the heavy weight and beiing so humble and nice dudes thats just amazing waaao
Can we have both guys succeed??
I really like both of these guys.
I wish there was multiple belts for each division so both these 2 can be champs.
Imagine Bam Bam in Light heavy weight with abs 🤣
Found the Democrat. Want ufc to give participation medal too you wuss?
Then it would be like boxing. No real champ in any division. Every top guy ducking each other to maintain the status.
Ciryl won the fight.
Tai won a lot of fans, especially in France. Next time he's going there (even for holidays) he'll be welcome as a friend by French people who knows about MMA.
Love for my fellow wiradjuri brother.. ill be a fan of tai's for as long as i live 🖤💛❤️
Interesting one. I think ciryl saying he is going to take extra risks this time round is a big mistake. Taking risks against tai is where he is comfortable. If I was ciryl I'd stand at length not make it a dog fight
He says that. But things change inside the octagon. Game plans vary.
I was looking for this comment! I thought the exact same thing man. We’ll see if Tai can capitalize if this does happen. We’re in regardless for a great fight
Ciryl is too sophisticated to get wreckless. His risks are calculated especially with somebody like tai who is basically a slugger
It paid, tho.
OMG i dont want any of them to loose
if only Tai's son can understand that his dad could beat up every dad from his school.
Unless the that dad is gane, blaydes, ngannou, aspinall, volkov etc
How can one not like these two gentlemen...
Aboriginal Samoan that's a good warrior breed right there...
[-o-]
This is the official ESPN mma channel and they’re still spelling Ciryl’s name wrong 🤦♂️
He just goes there, do his thing, then drinks beer out of the shoes hahaha
Awesome. Tai fan
I think u need to hire Will Haris to be a director for your sport features , the footage is excellent , the coloring is not bad but the cuts and the music choices also the story build up , nobody in sport right now can do it like Will to be honest
Cyrl gone f that boy up.
This is one of those classic heavyweight fights you just gotta sit back and enjoy
It is nice when a fighter shows the coach so much respect and does that with the belt in UFC/Boxing.
Most fighters know it all and a coach can't teach them anything some Fighters are like that.
Sergey Kovalev comes to mind in Boxing he was like that with his Coach.
Stay humble Tai. I know you're becoming a superstar. The belt is like a birthday present for your kid.
Two awesome fighters !
Tui gona do a shoi
As soon as he said that he's gonna take a "little more risk for the fans".. at the moment he said that I knew he was getting knocked out
Mystic Meg right here
Two of the nicest, most respectable monsters in the sport. I love the respect they show for eachother. What a shame one of them has to lose!!
Let’s hope for a majority draw then. If that is what you want. 😎
I like both these fighters!!! Both humble, both hard working and both genuine!!! May the best man win!!! I'll be cheering for both
Gane got the reach to head kick that lunging hook or overhand tai does. Best luck to the both of them. Either guy will make a great contest for the belt.
Wow i like both of these Beasts! May the best man win
Let’s goo gane real champ!!!
💯
Fukn Love Tai.
I like the story behind both of them.
This gonna be brilliant,can't wait.
TAI BAM BAM TUIVASA!!! he is a great guy!
Please... More of this for upcoming fights.
Gane has to be perfect for 25 minutes, Tai has to be vigilant and watch for early signs of fatigue , because we all know he's going to play it very smart in there. Only a fool gets into a fire fight with Bam Bam.
Spot on!
Gane has to be perfect for 25 minutes. All Tuivasa needs is one.
@Big Dawg I think you're a casual little dawg
You are counting out the possibility of Tai getting finished. Look at the list of people Gane has finished. Maybe he doesn't need to be perfect for 25 minutes he just needs to execute that one perfect move.
Less than 15 minutes*
And even if he hasn't been perfect, he has a chin too.
The funny thing is: These guys would be best friends in another context.
The became good friends after the fight when the shared a few beers together during the night.
I hope Cyril is prepared. Rui asa will not back at all, having his son as motivation
Tai is a BEAST! Not too sure about this one, it's going to be awesome!
Gane is the better striker, more athletic, more well rounded ! That being said Tai by 2nd round KO lets go Bam Bam 💥
😂
@Big Dawg shut yo azz up lol you’re probably the life of the party
I think that what everyone expects.. Either Tai by early KO or Gane wins by decision and pieces him up like did lewis...
What a hard hitting back and forth war! It was a great fight! Tai pushed Ciryl Gane to the limit 👏👏👏👏
Truly did not disappoint
Wow …. Amazing quality content …
Gane is a technician and a great fighter.. but you can never count someone like bam bam out… dude has more heart than the next man and can bang with anyone on the planet
Great fight to do, love Gane but my man is Tai BamBam Tuivasa all the way 💙
Gane, what a gentleman
We all already know that Gane will win but, It will be interesting to see if he will have more power.
How do you know? Edwards beat Usman, Anything can happen with one punch in a heavyweight bout.
I wake up in the morning, look in the cupboard and all the Ciryl Gane
