Undefeated French heavyweight Cyril Gan shared his expectations from the fight against UFC heavyweight champion Cameroonian Francis Ngannou.
“Every time I enter the cage, I know that I can win the fight, but I also have to understand that I can be knocked out. The biggest threat that comes from Francis is his power. He knows how to use it. That’s why he’s really dangerous and confident in his power, Gan told BJPenn.com. – My first task will be to control the distance … I started MMA about four years ago. Back then, my tactic was to keep my opponents at a distance to avoid wrestling, takedowns and everything else. Today this is my main weapon, and it will help me against Francis.».
“Everything is possible. I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do. If I deem it necessary to bring him down to earth, I will do so. If the opportunity arises, I will win an early victory over him. I am still an undefeated fighter, while Francis was losing, but none of his opponents could win an early victory.
Gan and Ngannou will headline the UFC 270 tournament, which will take place on the night of January 23 in Anaheim (USA). Gan has 10 wins in 10 fights, Ngannou has 16 wins and 3 losses.
