What they do well

  • Striking defense

    Hard to hit clean. Low absorb rate and a quiet chin record — opponents have to work for every clean look.

  • Timing & reaction

    Average-plus reactions. Gets touched, but rarely frozen in place when the shot or the shot-to-takedown comes.

  • Fight IQ

    Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

Scouting report

Ciryl Gane “Bon Gamin” is a 36-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of France, camped at MMA Factory. The tape read: power striker. Career mark 14-2-0 — 8 by KO/TKO, 3 by submission, 3 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (73).

What works. Striking defense is the standout at 94 (A+). Hard to hit clean. Low absorb rate and a quiet chin record — opponents have to work for every clean look. Ground game D on 0.66 TD/15 and 0.58 sub attempts. Striking defense A+ at 75% / 1.10 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 100% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 2 loaded UFC rows.

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.

  • Throws without paying full retail: 1.10 SApM

Takedown reaction

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

61 C+

Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 2 losses
  • 3 decision wins — proof they last and still score
