Khabib's coach makes prediction for Ngannou-Gane fight

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 13, 2022, 3:11 a.m.

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.
