Caio Borralho is wary of the favoritism of Tom aspinall No. UFC 321, scheduled for Saturday (25). The Briton faces Cyryl Gane in your first title defense heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg) and appears as a favorite in bookmakers at a ratio of four to one, which, in the opinion of the representative of Fighting Nerds, is a mistake.
In a video published on his YouTube channel, Caio analyzed Aspinall's level of confrontation and concluded that the British fighter has not yet shared the octagon with someone of his caliber. Cyryl GaneAccording to him, although the champion has more knockout power, the Frenchman has more tools in stand-up fighting.

“If you compare the two, the Cyryl Gane faced better opponents. And there's one detail: the Tom aspinall faced the Andrei Arlovski, who is a striker, but a limited guy who is already old. He got a bit confused in the exchange with Arlovski and, in the second round, had to take him down and submit him. I think that, if he gets past the first round with Cyryl Gane, Ciryl is a different kind of opponent, with different qualities and a much more complete game. So, I see a slight advantage for Cyryl Gane. O Tom aspinall maybe he has more knockout power, but Gane has more weapons,” he said Caio Borralho.
In the Brazilian's opinion, Gane's chances increase as the fight goes on. He believes that if the fight goes beyond the first round, Aspinall may be eager to take the fight to the ground, which won't be easy.
"Gane has the advantage in the stand-up fight, especially if the fight goes on for a long time. If he goes past the first round, he'll cause anxiety in the Tom aspinall. Out of all this time that the Tom aspinall is without fighting, waiting for the Jon Jones and 'blah, blah, blah'. So, I see Tom nervous, trying to put him down if he gets to the second round… Then, on the other side, there is: taking down Arlovski is one thing, now taking down Cyryl Gane, who controls the distance, moves very well and walks from one side to the other, is already much more difficult”, concluded the representative of Fighting Nerds.
