Round 1: Gane out in southpaw, Jones in orthodox, and the first strike of the bout is an immediate low blow from Gane that stops the action instantly. No doubt about it on the replay, landed low. Strong start.
After a brief break, we’re back at it. Jones is taking the center, Gane bouncing around the outside. Jones lands a right hand. And another. Gane caught on the end of that long reach.
Jones grabs a clinch as Gane is moving, ducks under to the back and immediately gets a takedown. Gane in turtle. Jones holding this position and looking for takedowns. Gane gets to the cage but Jones giving no quarter, and now he’s stepped over the legs, a la Khabib.
Jones attacking a guillotine. Gane sitting here but seems okay. I GUESS NOT BECAUSE CIRYL GANE TAPS!!!!! A TOTAL DEMOLITION. WOWWWWWW
