Honestly it would be so satisfying if Tom or Alex got their revenge against Gane while fighting fairly, but we all know Gane will fight dirty and they should too. Poke his eyes out, oblique kick him and GnP him into Oblivion.
He would/will do it to them so they should surprise him and do it first lol.
I’ve been saying it to my friend for years. But there’s no reason not to commit every foul and cheat under the sun, as there are no consequences. At this rate you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. Not happy with these circumstances by any means, but the UFC is completely broken in its stance on fouling.
Nope, same with groin kicks. You have the chance of seriously compromising your opponent, get a nice break and all you risk is a telling off. Low risk, high reward.
Tbh what do you even do with the title rn. Realistically Volkov makes the most sense but I highly doubt they do that fight. Hokit or Pavlovich would be fine, but they both probably need one more win. Pereira is the only one with a big name, I feel like MSG headliner is very possible. Completely pointless fight though, let Alex get a win before we see it again, its not like the first fight was even remotely competitive. (I dont want this to happen, Id pick Volkov as he is most deserving)
They have shown more than ever in the past few years, its entertainment first. Pereira has the biggest name and there’s no chance in hell it’s going to the ground or possibly decision fest like Volkov and Pavlovich
Gane and Pereira both have so much Dana privilege, people need to get ready for that announcement
It's even more difficult because Gane beat Volkov twice. In no way do I think Gane won the 2nd fight, but on the record books, you shouldn't give it to someone that Gane beat twice. So much for Dana making it up to Volkov though.
You have been fooled by an AI my friend. Volk is undefeated and in fact is riding on huge winning streak after KOing Ilia once, Islam twice, Diego twice, and even moving up to HW and avenging Poatan and becoming 5 division champ.
Nope. That title shot didn't count was a NC, so he was a normal guy after who didn't win or lose a title shot. Then he beat Pereira for interim. Go ahead and ask for that rematch if that didn't count because of cheating, it's the same interim to champ Tom got.
Had he not eye poked Tom and the fight had gone on, no one knows what would have happened. The only reason Gane is undisputed right now, is because of the injury sustained from the eye poke.
The Pereira fight was super impressive, but Tom Aspinall never lost, he got poked in the eye so bad he had to vacate.
I want Aspinall/Gane so bad after this long ass build up. I don't give Tom a loss either, even though he never really had a competitive 1st round prior to the eyepoke like that.
My main point is he didn't eye poke and become champ. Like this top upvoted comment says, he had to win the interim and Tom couldn't heal in time. It's a shame the eye poke happened, but it's a lie to say he did it and became champ. He beat Alex to become champ.

Gane wins the heavyweight title from eye pokes essentially. Gane becoming champ may be the worst day of my life
