Chael Sonnen doesn’t agree with Ciryl Gane being a favourite over Alexander Volkov at UFC 310.
Gane (12-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) runs issues again with Volkov (38-10 MMA, 6-3 UFC) on Saturday’s predominant card (pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+) at T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas.
In keeping with DraftKings, Gane is a -345 favourite to beat Volkov, who’s a +275 underdog. Though Gane outpointed Volkov with relative ease of their first battle in June 2021, Sonnen questions Gane’s latest dedication to the game.
“Ciryl is a really heavy favourite,” Sonnen mentioned on his YouTube channel. “I, for the lifetime of me, have no idea why. … I don’t imply to be damaging in the direction of Ciryl, however I’ll share with you: No person will get higher at this sport by not doing it, and Ciryl handed up on very huge alternatives to go and movie a film that no one’s ever heard of and most probably won’t ever see.
“However you’ll be able to’t ever get round that. Each actor needs to be an athlete and each athlete needs to be an actor. There’s no approach to ever work that out. So now Ciryl’s going to come back in in opposition to largely a mirror picture of himself.”
Volkov is 5-1 since dropping to Gane, and is coming off arguably his most spectacular efficiency to this point – a dominant determination win over knockout artist Sergei Pavlovich at UFC on ABC 6 in June.
“Volkov went out and didn’t even take him severe,” Sonnen mentioned. “Volkov’s coach in between rounds introduced him water and a comb. He combed his hair in between rounds, I imply he was doing advertising and marketing and he was doing a spoof, and he was performing as a result of he was so unimpressed by your great-blonde hope who he ultimately put down.”
