Alexander Volkov vs Cyril Gane Prediction: the Russian will do well in the rematch

Prediction for the MMA match which will take place on August 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Alexander Volkov

Alexander Volkov surprised in his last fight, so surprised when he cold-bloodedly beat not just anyone, but Sergey Pavlovich.

And that victory was so impressive that the experts started to see him as a contender for the belt again. And it's fair enough - Alexander worked with an A+, and before this fight he had three victories in a row - he finished Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Alexander Romanov and Tai Tuivasa.

Cyril Gane

Cyril Gane has only lost two fights in the UFC, both times defeated, but both times to the best - first to Francis Ngannou and then to Jon Jones. Of course, he hasn't stopped being one of the main title contenders because of that, and in his last fight he knocked out Sergey Spivak and is ready to storm the main event again.

Gane is very good on the feet and his speed is not just benchmark for a heavyweight, it's incredible. The fact is, he's hard to hit and almost impossible to hit accurately.

Except that the halo of invincibility around him has already been destroyed, and Volkov will clearly be better prepared this time around and has added a lot since their first fight.

Expert Betting Tips

We expect a tactical, somewhere even cautious confrontation - none of the rivals will be chasing the finish. The Frenchman's fight plan is more or less clear (low kicks, jabs, wedges and a lot of movement), but the Russian's plan is more difficult to guess - Volkov can try to break his opponent with his legs from a distance.

Alexander's calmness and discipline are also in good order now, and his technical arsenal already inspires respect. We may have been strongly influenced by the way he fought Sergey Pavlovich, but we see him as the favorite for the fight with Gane.
