Francis Ngannou believes his former foe Ciryl Gane is not a suitable matchup for Alex Pereira . Pereira (13-3) is set to face Gane (13-2) for the interim heavyweight title at UFC White House on June 14. Pereira will look to create history by winning a UFC title in a third weight category.
However, many, including Ngannou, consider Gane to be Pereiraโs toughest test so far. It will be a big move up for Pereira, who started his UFC career as a middleweight. Ngannou believes Gane is more well-round that Pereira.
Gane is known for being unusually slick at heavyweight. Ngannou believes Pereira will find it difficult after moving up from light heavyweight to face a heavyweight striker who is faster than most light heavyweights. More Tools โI think Ciryl has more tools here,โ Ngannou
