Ciryl Gane has downplayed claims he will easily out-strike Tai Tuivasa in their UFC Paris clash, insisting the Australian possesses "very dangerous" one-punch power.
Gane faces knockout artist Tuivasa in the main event of UFC Paris on Saturday with the event marking the promotion's first-ever card in France following a lengthy battle to have MMA legalised in the country. Gane is looking to rebound after missing out on the heavyweight title to former training partner Francis Ngannou in January, whilst Tuivasa is on a great run having knocked out his last three opponents.
All of Gane's past UFC opponents have been outclassed by his striking, with Ngannou being forced to wrestle his way to victory against him in their title clash. Tuivasa has been told he must turn the fight into a brawl to have any chance of beating Gane, who recognises that 'Shoeyvasa' can end any fight in just one punch.
