What are you guys thinking about Bones vs Gane?

 

I think if Jones wrestes him he will eat him alive 

Just my opinion, but Jones seems like easy money to me. 

What are Gane's best attributes? Striking, Intelligence and rare athleticism at HW, while supposedly being a decent grappler. 

Except Bones is better at all of these, imo. Maybe less power, in theory, but Gane's not really known for power either. 

I think Ngannou was an exponentially more compelling matchup than Gane, personally. I think the raw power/unpredictability is more difficult to deal with for Jones than someone who tries to beat him at his own game.

Bones is definitely not a better striker than Gane. Bones had the luxury of always having the bigger reach and didn't fair as well with guys that were close (I think Gus 2 was really the only one that was mentioned). He didn't really look great in 3 of his last 4 since popping.

Athleticism probably goes to Gane too as we haven't seen Bones carry that extra weight yet (Gane is freakish for HW).

People underrate Gane's grappling because he got caught off guard going against Francis which he probably thought was going to be all standup. Bones should probably be the favorite, but far from easy money.
