Yeah, that match got my eye too. They are supposed to fight at UFC 275 but were canceled due to Robert Whittaker's injury. Well, now I think there won't be anything to stop them from finally meeting.
I think both fighters will be standing up until the end. Fight history based, most of their fights are ending with a decision.
It's hard to predict but looking at our favorite bookie Vettori is the underdog @2.85. But it's not that far which means there's a big chance he may snatch this one.
I know that Robert Whittaker is a popular dude, and Whittaker is really a great fighter no doubt about that, making his way to the top beating guys like Jared Cannonier, Darren Till, and Kelvin Gastelum pretty much many are saying that he can have a win over Vettori, well these two have a canceled bout back on the UFC 275 However, Whittaker withdrew for undisclosed reasons, and he never really disclose what really happens, and now at the UFC Fight Night 209 it will have a continued event but I really wish it will not get canceled now,
Remember tho that the match between them is a 5 rounder. I think Gane is gonna finish Tuivasa around the third or the fourth or something. Tuivasa is susceptible of getting finished in the past as his record shows. I'm not sure where the books have lined the over/under but if it's 2.5 and over is at plus money, I'd say over.
Anyway, I'm not really sure why the UFC decided to make Gane and Tuivasa the main event. Whitaker bs Vettori seems like it's a higher level match and the winner of the match could get a shot at the belt again.
It is still too early and the odds could surely still change the fight will be next week, but yes Ciryl Gane could finish the fight on that rounds but he can also get this fight on a safer side and win via decision as well, but he can be aggressive aswell just like he did with Derrick Lewis, I just hope that Ciryl Gane could win this one, so he can take on Francis Ngannou again for a rematch, that will be an epic fight for sure,
