Who has the edge in this week's UFC Fight Night? MMA coaches and betting insiders make their picks.
Generally when you talk about fighting a strong grappler or wrestler, there are certain concepts that you have to use to win. The first is that Gane can't get caught backing up. He has to use good footwork and lateral movement. Don't stay directly in front of Spivac. Second, Gane has to keep his stance nice and small with bended knees. He can't be tall and upright. If he is upright, that could favor the grappler. Also, Gane is going to have to use volume.
Spivac will need to negate that striking range to get inside. But once he's inside, the guy's a legit grappler. So, it's going to take intelligent pressure on Spivac's part, making Gane fight without too much unpredictable movement.The hometown advantage. But it can be a disadvantage at times. It happened with [my fighter] Derrick [Lewis]. Sometimes it can truly motivate you. Sometimes it can add to the pressure that's already there.
