Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (32, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. When Gane loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 1 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.
Recent tape (2 bouts): W Spivac (KO/TKO R2) · L Ngannou (Decision - Unanimous R5). Form index positive over the last 2. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.

This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.
Average-plus reactions. Gets touched, but rarely frozen in place when the shot or the shot-to-takedown comes.
Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out.
