"Ciryl Gane isn't talking trash, he's not talking s**t but he is saying some things that if I was Francis Ngannou, I'd have an issue with. He is out there saying, let me get this right, he's saying that basically Francis does not have any friends which is a really like backhanded insult, do you know what I mean? It's like, he's saying that he's not popular you know... It is interesting. So he's saying he's got no friends and stuff. That's kind of you know, that's a bit of epic s***t talk if you've ever saw that because he's insulting him without coming out and insulting him."

Francis Ngannou terms Ciryl Gane as 'best kickboxer' in MMA
In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Ngannou stated that 'Bon Gamin' has the finest kickboxing in MMA. 'The Predator' also claimed that former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has the best striking in the sport.
Speaking about his thoughts on the best striker in MMA, Francis Ngannou said:
"If I'm about to say the best striker for MMA striking, it would still be Jon Jones. But if we go kickboxing style, then I think it will be Ciryl [Gane]. But for MMA striking, I would give it to Jon Jones. Because, like, with his elbow and all this stuff that he does... The oblique kick, all those stuff. For MMA, is the perfect striking."
