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.
“I think Ciryl has more tools here,” Ngannou
