‘See You Soon Boy’- Francis Ngannou Reacts to Ciryl Gane’s Dominant Win Over Derrick Lewis at UFC 265

Ciryl Gane earned a dominant T/KO finish over Derrick Lewis at UFC 265 to become the interim UFC heavyweight champion. The undisputed champion, Francis Ngannou kept a close eye on the event. He is expected to face Gane next in a unification bout.

Many counted on Lewis to land one of his signature haymakers on Gane and upset the French man. However, ‘Bon Gamin’ proved yet again that he is head and shoulders above the rest of the pack of the heavyweight division. Even Ngannou was impressed by the performance, judging by his reaction.

Impressive performance from Gane !
He’s now a legit contender.
See you soon boy. When you know you know. #ufc265

“Impressive performance from Gane ! He’s now a legit contender. See you soon boy. When you know you know. #ufc265,” wrote ‘The Predator’.

Both Ngannou and Lewis depend on their power to overwhelm their opponents. However, the champion is significantly more athletic than ‘The Black Beast’. That being said, taking on Gane will not be an easy task for the Cameroonian.

Francis Ngannou vs Ciryl Gane: How will a fight play out?

Gane and Ngannou are former training partners. Having sparred each other a lot, they have a clear idea about what the other has to offer. But sparring and a world title fight are completely different ball games.

Ngannou showed a much-improved version of his previous self when he defeated Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 to become the champion. Gane, on the other hand, always seems to get better with each fight. There have been no weaknesses on display from him so far.

Fans are in anticipation of what a fight between the duo will look like. Many expect Gane to dominate the heavyweight division for the years to come. However, the champion will look to prove that he is still the main man in the division.

The duo might clash before the end of the year. But, nothing is official yet. How the timelines match and when the UFC can actually put the fight together, remains to be seen.
