Khabib's coach makes prediction for Ngannou-Gane fight

AKA gym head coach Javier Mendez shared his thoughts on the upcoming title fight between the UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and temporary title holder Ciryl Gane.

“From a stylistic point of view, Ngannou has physical power, which means that his opponent is at great risk if he misses a blow. However, Gane has amazing athletic ability and is versatile in everything he does. I think the longer the fight goes on, the better it will be for Ciryl.

"It will be a tough fight, I don't know for sure who will win. One of these fighters has more physical strength than anyone I have ever seen. At the same time, I don't think I've ever seen a man with the dimensions of Gane who would have the same abilities as him. He has an amazing arsenal,” Mendez said in an interview with Helen Yee.

Ngannou vs. Gane will headline UFC 270 on January 22 in Anaheim.
