Francis Ngannou favors Ciryl Gane against Alex Pereira at UFC White House

Francis Ngannou favors Ciryl Gane against Alex Pereira at UFC White House
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 Pereira’s 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.
