This will be easier said than done given Gane is a long rangy fighter who uses his reach well to avoid haymakers. He will most likely want to pick apart Lewis while staying as far away from the right hand as possible. ‘The Black Beast’ on the other hand, will be aiming to close the distance and land his right hand which can flatline anyone in the UFC.
