"I Think Cyryl Gane it's real. My bold prediction is that Cyryl Gane wins Francis Ngannou, and I think it does it in a calm way. I also think he wins Jon Jones”, he opined Anthony Smith.
Anthony Smith, who shared the octagon with Jon Jones for 25 minutes in 2019, when he was defeated in a unanimous decision, he believes that Cyryl Gane he has the necessary physical and technical skills to overcome the former light heavyweight champion in a potential encounter.
"When Jon Jones finding someone who compares to him physically and athletically, I think that's when we'll have to check his list of skills and technique. I think against Cyryl Gane, he loses this battle. I think that Cyryl Gane equals him in size and athletic ability, speed and movement. Ciryl is, without a doubt, the best changer. The only unknown is whether he can defend a takedown. I think he would win Jon Jones and it would be boring. I think it would be a game of darts, one throwing darts at the other. But I think Cyryl Gane He has a better level of striking, he controls distance well, perhaps a little better than Jon Jones”, analyzed the fighter.
