GDT: UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gane

[Chaels Arms]

Lol at Jones chirping this fight.

Jones tweet is the highlight of the fight.

What did he say?

What did he say?

Nothing much, just said this level of fighting isn't gonna fly now that he's at HW. But it was still better than this fight.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Boring fight.

 

[Chaels Arms]

I'm gaining more respect for Bisping by the minute.

All Gane. Not a very good fight but I mostly blame Rozenstruik for that. Gane fought smart, landed his shots, and avoided the power. Maybe he should've been more aggressive but I still think that was a good performance by him.

"These boys better get used to pushing the pace, all this standing around ain’t gonna fly when daddy comes home. #ufcvegas20"

50-45 Gane, awful fight

 

[Chaels Arms]

What a horrible fight. Dana needed a Rogan/DC team to dress that up a little, Bisping/Felder correctly crapped on it for 25 minutes.

 

[CDJ]

Bonus predictions?

I got

POTN: Caceres, Lawrence
FOTN: Munhoz-Rivera

Easy win for Gane but that was tough to watch. Respected the power obviously but could've taken some chances. But it's more on Jairzinho for being clearly behind and having no urgency at all, I'd say. It's a shame because Gane showed all the tools just brought no killer instinct to the table, and it might have cost him a bit in terms of a big opportunity next. That said, there can't be more than 2 or 3 HW's that would pose a serious threat to him at this point.

 

[Killahpunk]

Not a great night of fights and such an underwhelming main event.

 

[CDJ]

If Gane grew up in the US he’d be a basketball player, so nimble for a guy that size. Maybe a tight end in football

 

[CDJ]

They gave out only 3 bonuses- FOTN to Munhoz/Rivera, POTN to Lawrence

Understandable.

Was going to post last night, but fell asleep.

Just kidding, but I'm glad it was an 8 EST main card. Besides Munhoz-Rivera, boring fights. I would have been upset if I stayed up until 1am for that shit.

I hope Stipe humbles him. Stipe is about a million times more likeable than Jon Jones.

I really don't think all the heat Gane is getting is warranted. He actually came to fight, fought to his strengths, and fought well. Why is it on him to get aggressive (and careless) when what he's doing is working and Rozenstruik refuses to push the pace? Shouldn't that be on the guy who is clearly losing? It's not against just anyone either, it's an opponent who can finish the fight with one punch and has never been finished before in MMA. Ask Overeem how that worked out for him. Sure, he could've been more aggressive and entertaining but he stuck to his gameplan.

 

[CDJ]

Yeah I don’t really blame Gane

 

[BGDDYKWL]

I have no issue with how Gane fought. The onus is entirely on the guy who's clearly losing. You're still green, you're in there with a guy that can put the lights out in the blink of an eye, and you essentially cruise to a 50-45. All-in-all that's a productive night.

Given the lack of contenders at HW right now it's not like 155 where you have to put on a show to be considered for a title shot. He's realistically only one fight away.
