Imagine saying “Francis can’t win a decision over a highly nimble and skilled Gane,”

Then he goes out and wins a decision! SUPER impressive! The king is here to stay! #UFC270
That was super low fight IQ from Gane. I understand the thought process, but having Ngannou back on top for that risk-reward position was short-sighted in a tight fight like this.
