Cody Stamann has weighed in on the upcoming title unification bout between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane at UFC 270.

In an interview with Sherdog, 'Spartan' talked about 'The Predator's presence in the gym and the devastating power he possesses in his hands.

"I mean Francis, I train with the guy every day, I see him in the gym. He's a hard worker, he's well prepared for this fight and that man can literally touch you and you got to sleep. I've seen him hurt so many people in the gym but he's honestly a terrifying human being like, you can't bet against somebody that can put your lights out with a jab. You know what I mean? He's literally knocking guys out with a jab. That's like a punch that's supposed to set up the big shot... he's hitting guys so hard with his left hand and they're going out."

Stamann added that he doesn't see a way for Gane to avoid Ngannou's shots all night and win the heavyweight clash on January 22.

"I don't think anybody's putting too much money on Ciryl Gane... Can he beat Francis Ngannou? I mean, it only takes one shot... I don't see how he keeps up with Francis."
