Almeida saw how Jon made easy work of Gane on the ground and thinks Gane is gonna be an easy win too. The problem is that Gane is much better than Lewis, and Almeida isn't Jon Jones
Gane beats Jailton. His lateral movement is fantastic and Gane never overcommits. He will pick Jailton off and not retreat straight back nor overcommit moving forward so Jailton’s timing won’t be there in the same way we saw last night against the plodding Lewis. Jailton counters his opponents overthrowing in order to time his entries for TD’s those moments won’t be there against the elusive Gane. He will try to force it and get picked apart.
Jones and Ngannou are different beasts altogether many people get it twisted because Gane lost to the two best in the world handily that he is anything less than elite. Jailton has his work cut out for him if this fight is made. Gane is elite and is better than anyone else in the current division (besides maybe Aspinall) imo.
Almeida is the worst possible fight for Gane. Blaydes can be caught and his takedowns are nowhere as explosive. And Gane can beat Pavlovich.
Gane seems picky about who he's fighting after the Spivak win, but he may as well fight Almeida, nobody else makes sense in the next 3-6 months.
I personally think he should have to fight Blaydes before he fights Gane tbh, but that's just me sir.
I'm a huge fan for any submission guy and am totally up for Almeida fighting anyone. My only complaint about last night's fight is he never tried to hurt Lewis. Spivac really needed to rain fists down on Lewis to open him up for the sub and, idk, maybe Almeida has his head up his ass and thinks he can submit anyone, but clearly he's wrong.
I'm a fan of Gane but he should be fighting down the rankings. Who else makes sense that could realistically be booked soon? They could do a Volkov rematch I suppose, otherwise Almeida does make some sense.
Gane via anything he wants.
Think Almeida handles that pretty easily, unless Gane can keep it standing or get back up. Good matchup
Gane can't keep that fight on the feet.
Gane has no chance against Jailton, everybody knows this.
Thx for the tag real mma fans gonna fan hahaThanks for the responses like always guys... Bunch of different takes. I like it

I agree. But I was talking about an opponent Gane can actually face in the future. Jones has absolutely no reason to rematch him.No, the worst possible fight for Gane was Jon Jones.
Why not? Jailton beat 3 top 10/15 in 11 months and wasn't in danger of losing, it's time to step up in competition.Only Gane haters think that Almeida makes sense right now. He is shooting high, as any fighter should, but beating Rozenstruik and going 5 with Lewis is not any kind of resume.
And neither is the other dork. Almeida is going to get his tds stuffed and picked apart on the feet.

Jon Jones would have finished Derrick Lewis in about a minute if his performance against Gane was anything to go by.
Jailton is nowhere near Jon Jones' level, and I think he loses to Gane - who beat the last guy that was a 'nightmare' in Spivak.
All right, Jailton is better than Spivak in the wrestling stakes, but I'm still on Gane here.

90% of the people who read this will believe it's copium, and I don't blame them...
But Jailton has been one of my favourite fighters in current UFC for awhile, and him triggering the forums makes me really happy.
I usually root for whoever the forums are shitting on or disrespecting.

I voted for Gane. Yeah, that was me
