Gane wins this fight and you think he's got to sit out a year for Ngannou/Miocic 3 and Derrick Lewis to be sorted? Awkward positioning in the HW division.
Gane should win. I like Volkov a lot; fun fighter but he seems to be one of those gate keeper fighters that will always lose to the top contender. I don't think Volkov has much for either Stipe or Ngannou. I think Gane is a more interesting contender. I think Gane wins by late KO or UD.

No killer instinct. I don't think he has anything for Ngannou. Snoozefest of a fight I thought...I think Ngannou ends him early.
