Tom Aspinall predicts the fight between Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira.

Tom Aspinall analyzes the key factors in the fight between Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira

Tom Aspinall seems, understandably, to be very interested in the fight between Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira . Since the fight only came about because Tom Aspinall suffered a serious eye injury during his last title defense against Ciryl Gane , he is naturally watching the two fighters with great anticipation, as the winner may have to face Tom Aspinall to become the official UFC champion.

On his YouTube channel, he analyzed both fighters and gave his prediction at the end. He emphasizes how good Alex Pereira is in the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions, but takes a rather critical view of the heavyweight fight.

“For me, the most fascinating thing is how the body changes when you gain a significant amount of weight. What will that look like in a 25-minute fight against a tall, agile opponent? That’s the big question. I don’t doubt Pereira’s punching power or skill, but I wonder how this physical change will play out over five rounds.”

said Tom Aspinall.

As his analysis continues, he ultimately seems to see only two possibilities.

“It could go either way. I wouldn’t be surprised no matter who wins. If I had to pick a side, I’d say Ciryl Gane would win on points. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if Pereira knocked him out.”

So that shows that this fight on Sunday could be an absolute spectacle. It remains to be seen who will be celebrating in the end.

In my opinion, his prediction makes perfect sense. This is fairly new territory for Alex Pereira , and no one really knows how mobile he’ll be at this new weight. He certainly has the strength and experience, but now he’s fighting Ciryl Gane , who weighs 115 kg. That’s why I completely understand why Tom Aspinall is considering these two different possibilities.
