Gane vs Tuivasa Prediction
.
Winner:'Ciryl Gane (84%)
Method of Victory:'KO/TKO (51%)
Ciryl Gane is a heavy favorite here for a reason. This is a fighter that saw his 10-fight win streak end in a failed bid to claim the UFC Heavyweight title his last time out. He is going to be motivated to put on a show and has a massive six-inch reach advantage over Tuivasa. Look for him to take advantage of that fact.
It's easy to bac k Gane as a -600 favorite, but betting on which way the fight will end is the risky part. Three of his last four bouts have gone the full five rounds. However, Tuivasa is a fighter that loves to throw punches in bunches early and has had only two of his 17 fights go three rounds or more.
I'll take Gane winning by KO/TKO (+130) here.
