Former UFC Welterweight Title Challenger Stephen Thompson shared his predictions for the upcoming fight of the heavyweight champion of the promotion Francis Ngannou and the owner of the interim belt Ciryl Gane.
“Ciryl Gane is a technical fighter. He also has a certain amount of power. But Ngannou can hit the tip of the nose with a short blow and send the opponent to sleep. It will be a tough confrontation for both, but I'm leaning towards the victory of my buddy Ngannou," Thompson said.
The fight of Ngannou and Gane will take place on January 22 at UFC 270 in Anaheim.
