Sean O'Malley is the latest fighter to make his pick for the upcoming fight between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane at UFC 270. The bout is a very hard one to predict and many are very excited about it.

The fight has been oversimplified and many are looking at it as a power puncher vs technical striker. The main event of UFC 270 is not quite that simple and is an excellent, technical matchup.

“It’s just so hard with those big guys,” the UFC bantamweight said on his podcast. Gane does such a good job bouncing on his feet, kinda like the karate stance to where Francis has never fought somebody like this, 100%. They’ve sparred a little bit but it’s different in the cage that night, lights on. He does such a good job of avoiding those big shots, he fought Derrick Lewis.” Sean O’Malley said. “I think Francis is a little quicker, I don’t know, he’s pretty athletic. I see Ciryl peck at him a little bit, I don’t really see it going to the ground at all. I just see it being like a technical striking match for Gane. Kinda like a wild one for Francis trying to connect. But it sucks that sometimes it takes one shot cause that doesn’t mean the better fighter wins. I think Gane’s gonna get the job done.”
