Truth is Francis was a money hungry egomaniac. His coaches said this and ufc staff said the same. Ufc offered him 8 mill to fight Jon. But Francis wanted more money. He also said he wanted health care for fighters and doing this for morals not money. Turns out he didn’t care about health care and signed for money 😂😂😂

Never deserved the hate he got for leaving UFC. Dana was saving face by acting as if Ngannou was scared to fight Jones. In reality Francis was done with Dana playing games. He knew he deserved more and knew the UFC wasn’t going to give him that. He proved to us that the UFC lies a lot and are dishonest.

And you’re delusional. Dana isn’t “vile” you’re literally just sensitive and delusional about the topic 🤦🏻♂️ criminals who hurt people physically are “vile”. Government politicians who rob your society of trillions are “vile”. There is no UFC without Dana White. The whole of MMA would have fizzled out into dysfunctional weak organizations like the PFL and Bellator. It would have collapsed in on itself. And the PFL basically only exists thanks to the hype the UFC has created for MMA with Dana White at the helm. I like Francis, but he is Awful at promoting himself and does ZERO WORK to promote anything. He goes on a few podcasts. But that’s literally just 2 hours out of ONE day of the year 🤨 that’s hardly doing real promotional work period. The guy expected the UFC to do all the work when he gave them not a single thing to promote him about. Just being a good fighter isn’t enough to compel a wider audience to watch and pay 60-70 bucks for a PPV. You need to create a connection and present yourself so that the audience can make that connection.

I had one credit card in my life. I'm a 40 year old Canadian of British ancestry. The credit card I got when I was 20. Didn't pay attention to what I was spending. My limit was $1000. I called and asked for my limit to be raised to $1500. They said no. Then afterward, without my permission they raised my limit to $6000 and I racked up debt without realizing it because I made a mistake and didn't pay attention to what I was spending vs what I was paying off. My mistake. But that company knew what they were doing by raising the limit without telling me. Once I paid it off I swore to never have a credit card again. And I never have. Credit cards are soft slavery. Now I buy everything other than my house and car with cash. If I don't have the cash, I don't get the thing I want. If I haven't earned it then I shouldn't get it, that's life. I'm with you, brother. Credit cards are a blight on humanity.

Here’s the thing on those extensions. A UFC contract is the offer you a 5 fight deal that means they offer u 5 not give you 5. If you turn one down that counts as 1 fight so your down to 4 but with that extension it just puts it back to 5 cause someone can get a cash bonus on the sign and turn down all 5 fights with no extensions and that’s the contract cause the contract is to “offer” you 5 fights. The extension is to protect the UFCs money from a loophole.
@emilioguerrero39187 ай бұрын
Fighters are also to blame for signing these contracts. It should not just be a "3/5 fight" contract, it should be "be 3/5 fights or 2.5 years" for example. That way the promotion can't keep you with one fight left and drag it out or never let it happen.

Indeed but that's the fight business. UFC reported on several occasions that WWE influenced them too and that's also entertaining business. Francis was just not that interesting nor he knew how to promote himself.
If you aren't selling pay per views then you don't get the big payday its that simple.
And you’re delusional. Dana isn’t “vile” you’re literally just sensitive and delusional about the topic 🤦🏻♂️ criminals who hurt people physically are “vile”. Government politicians who rob your society of trillions are “vile”. There is no UFC without Dana White. The whole of MMA would have fizzled out into dysfunctional weak organizations like the PFL and Bellator. It would have collapsed in on itself. And the PFL basically only exists thanks to the hype the UFC has created for MMA with Dana White at the helm. I like Francis, but he is Awful at promoting himself and does ZERO WORK to promote anything. He goes on a few podcasts. But that’s literally just 2 hours out of ONE day of the year 🤨 that’s hardly doing real promotional work period. The guy expected the UFC to do all the work when he gave them not a single thing to promote him about. Just being a good fighter isn’t enough to compel a wider audience to watch and pay 60-70 bucks for a PPV. You need to create a connection and present yourself so that the audience can make that connection.
Its not about fighting - its entertainment. You want to make money you have to sell the fight. That means high social media reach and generating interest promoting the fight. Its business and so many fighters are not business men - they assume a child to parent relationship
Powerful how he said he can live out of nothing, weather he is rich or poor he is not bothered. Tells you alot about what type of a person he is, not so many people can be comfortable with whatever , that now is character 💪🏿 💯

(I don't wanna talk smack saying he will loose, but no man born from a mother cunt can beat Tyson Fury, IF Wilder couldn't get it done? WHAT realsistic chance does this guy have? He is a VERY VERY inexperienced version of wilder.. Wilder caught him once, in the 12th? & it wasn't enough.. in 3 fights.

@@mohammedahmed1109 yeah and he's going to get a taste when Tyson knocks him out.
this guy should do audiobooks
Hell no. Terrible accent
That would be great
He should read kids bed time stories
Can he even read 🤔
@@goodnightmunchiewhy bro?
Thats a real fn bicep, no steroids.💪🏿
So crazy how soft spoken this guy is..
As a Cameroonian like Francis now based in the US, trust me, credit cards are our kryptonite, We were raised that "Debt is Trouble" ONLY in America I see people being proud of having 50k credit limit 🤣
Same in the Netherlands, we call it "spending money you don't have".
Same here, however it's entirely encouraged. When a lot of the economy is based around market housing prices...and you won't realistically be able to buy a home without good credit rating. And how do you get a good credit rating ? By going in debt 😂😂 It's so damn predatory
@@skindred1888 W to the system for that lol
They are killing Americans with debts and they don’t even know it.
I had one credit card in my life. I'm a 40 year old Canadian of British ancestry. The credit card I got when I was 20. Didn't pay attention to what I was spending. My limit was $1000. I called and asked for my limit to be raised to $1500. They said no. Then afterward, without my permission they raised my limit to $6000 and I racked up debt without realizing it because I made a mistake and didn't pay attention to what I was spending vs what I was paying off. My mistake. But that company knew what they were doing by raising the limit without telling me. Once I paid it off I swore to never have a credit card again. And I never have. Credit cards are soft slavery. Now I buy everything other than my house and car with cash. If I don't have the cash, I don't get the thing I want. If I haven't earned it then I shouldn't get it, that's life. I'm with you, brother. Credit cards are a blight on humanity.
Nick Diaz knows what happens when you won't play their way.
Bro Francis is so respectful
The UFC tried to put him in a financial position where most fighters would accept a new deal.sadly for them as Francis explained he had known destitution/poverty before.
Of course Joe knows how it works, still I think Joe has the right approach to letting Francis clarify himself so people can judge themselves and at the same time not criticize the company he works for
Yeah being a cowardly shill is totally the right approach eh? Even for a guy who is already FILTHY rich like Joe Rogan? S.t.f.u. you bum
If Joe himself said that he would have legal problems with the ufc.
Ngannou should be a T shirt model, he makes me want to pump more iron.
For real, idk how a man’s arms can get that big
Sus

maybe youre a ghey thoo

This video is cut up into a hundred pieces. I will have to watch the full interview.
Win or lose in any ring, Francis has already won 🙏🏾. This some inspirational and motivational shit. You deserve all that’s coming your way
A man of integrity protects his values. Values are nothing unless tested. Good man.
keep this man safe at all costs
You know joe has already asked Dana if he can podcast with Francis, and you know Dana told joe not to ask certain questions
Joe asking questions he already knows the answer to.....
Exactly, the podcast is not for Joe, it’s for the fans. This is how it works smh
@@ezramusoke5994 even the feigned surprise? uh huh
yes but he has to do it that way- he loves the UFC but he's also allowing ngannou to share his experience- joes doing what he needs to do
Dana White is a JOKE..... The way he gives his "personal favorites" (Lesnar) the keys to the store while holding back LEGITIMATE fighters is almost criminal.
And with Colby it is even worse
Rich & successful and responsible for growing the sport far beyond anyone else, and giving us the best and biggest promotion with the best fighters. I wish i was "a joke".
So he should give Belal " the decision king" to that opportunity to becomes the champ and can't sell 1PPV to save his own life.
@@Leviathanino, Lesnar was clearly on Peds so he's much worse
@@mohammodmashud6747 Colby can hang with his division without PEDs. Internet hate for Dana is real. He is not in charge of all the business negotiations. Sometimes people can't meet half way. I can name plenty of filthy rich UFC fighters. I think fighter pay has gone up a lot but still needs a bidenflation boost. Bump the bonuses up to 75k, and raise the level of base bay a bit. They can afford to now.
One thing people , mostly Americans don’t understand is that especially people of African descent are very intelligent. They know how to conduct business and won’t let ppl get over on them
The way he speaks is frightening, so quiet and nice
Wow man... the "borrowing money for training camp" thing is really sad and infuriating. Moreover the fact that it was stated by a huge UFC star, HW champion and the world record strongest/hardest punch holder. All those accolades and still underpaid....
Not our fault dude is horrible with money
I think Joe is transforming into Matt Sera right in front of our eyes.
Reverse that
They are the same person
i havent watched any rogan in about a year.. man he is transforming.
LMAO
He’s starting to get that Liver King look on his face. I read it’s from the juice.
Love this dude's attitude. I can see why he doesn't move tickets. He's just too nice to be exciting outside of the ring.
Francis we all know you’re the good guy in all of this and we all hope you ‘re making the bag you deserved a long time agoo go get it Champ! ❤️
And enjoy getting KOd next month
@@paleo704 You’re up for a big suprise 😉
So the damn HW champ needs a purse advance. Yea it’s time for a fighter’s Union. Go get that boxing money Francis
How would a fighter's union prevent the financially illiterate Francis from flushing his money down the toilet again?
Most of the UFC’s roster grew up white trash conservative, so they’re never going to unionize. Because it’s better to be a spineless kiss-ass carrying water for the elites than being a gay commie or whatever.
Maybe he needed a class on budgeting and money management!
@@DGillian6406 I’d say he learned how to manage nothing living in a third world country pretty well. Taxes and training camp fees alone eat up over 60 percent of a fight purse. A guy that’s HW champ should not be having to take what’s the equivalent of a payday advance
@@DGillian6406or maybe he made the right choice coz he getting paid now ...maybe you need those lessons more
Nganou is so eloquent and articulate he’s got a job as a commentator
Francis sounds so calm for a beast ❤
ngannou is an absolute stud not just as a fighter but for his heart of gold
How can u not Love him as a human being n want the best for him . He is so humble n knows what truly matters.
Dude looks GREAT. Im sure his leaner stature is going to translate to more fluid movement. Huge credit to the people that have faced him. The Overeem KO was frightening.
A genuine and sincere man. Respect and honour.
Watched the whole podcast, Francis is a great champ and a true gentleman!! Wish him the best
so what he is saying is accurate to the podcast? The first 2 mins looked edited asf. His eyes position and arms position change dramatically word by word of his dialogue.
Such a soft spoken man..was not expecting it..much respect for francis!
When they say triceps make up 80 percent of arm size... francis says fuck that.
A guy that could easily kill someone, comes of as such a nice human being. Talking about money, and how he lives. That's an inspiration.
Ngannou the peoples champ
nah, thats paul wall
Not my people, definitely.
@@juu9do278Cameroon and France are known for complaining about both those things lol
Francis is great, to leave ufc and pursue his dream while advocating propper treatement of fighters is super classy. Best of luck to him!
“Oh thats extension” lol damn that part was funny af when Francis was explaining it even though it was serious
At least he gave him the opportunity to speak his piece on his show even if he knows exactly what happened.
This man is the man, may God bless him. Straight up truth Francis all the best brother
he did what he planned, even though everyone said he was crazy, got to respect this man,they tried to play him down, but he came from nothing, he knows how to make nothing into something
Who said he was crazy ? We said he’s ducking Jon Jones
good edits. really helps the attention span.
I wonder how Dana feels about Joe giving Francis his platform. He’s also asking leading questions about the UFC. He definitely gonna be salty if he sees it
Over the years Joe has made hundreds of questionable comments about the UFC
I don't think Dana mind. Joe can bring in anyone to do interview but it doesn't change of Dana and the UFC run their business.
Dana Tomato is gonna get 10 shades redder from this interview. Slap a wife, blow some coke, then scream at Joe Rogan
Danas gonna jump Joe next time he sees him
Dana needs Joe way more than Joe needs Dana at this point. Joe has openly spoken about how he’s seriously debated leaving the UFC because he just doesn’t have much time for it anymore. That’s why Joe only commentates on fights in the US, just doesn’t have the time to travel around the world for events now.
Imagine paying to watch UFC?
One of the select few
back in the day you had no choice! not anymore XD
imagine, imagining...
:DDD
A lot of people do it indirectly trough TV providers and other streaming platforms I believe.
francis is so gentle and kind when he speaks, but make no mistake, the dudes a wrecking machine
Francis made right decision
I really hope the fighters win the lawsuit im tired of hearing how dana and the ufc screws everyone over
Both sides get to negotiate. Both sides have their own interests and risks in mind and those interests/risks are met and mitigated thru contract. Either side can say no. Nobody has to sign.... fighters aren't slaves. They aren't forced at gunpoint to sign a contract.
@@andysommerlot5123such a tired argument. Of course “no one is forced to sign,” literally no one is claiming they are. The problem is ufc exploiting its leverage as the top promotion to control fighters, give them the bare minimum, keep all the profit for a few executives, and discard the fighters when they’re no longer useful. What Francis described here is a perfect example of that exploitation.
@@andysommerlot5123 it’s not a balanced negotiation, it’s essentially coercion of the fighters into suboptimal terms. These fighters (excluding the highest-paid 1-2%) barely make enough to sustain themselves, let alone paying all their coaches and trainers and for travel and medical costs etc. It’s just classic capitalist power dynamics, and it’s especially bullshit because we can see the revenue that the UFC makes compared to leagues like NFL and NBA, and the huge discrepancy between their profit and the percentage of earnings paid out to their athletes. Dana and the corporate heads at Endeavor are just greedy and selfish, simple as that.
Its a business. A successful business takes more than it gives. There wouldnt even be a UFC with all the best fighters if they didnt operate as such. Noone holds a gun to a fighters head to sign a contract.
@@4ev3rmorechael sonnen puts it perfectly, there are more than 400 fighters in the roster and of the more than 400 fighters less than five fighters bring in profit and the rest are losses and honestly speaking i get that
If you put 1.5x speed and Francis talks normally lol
Francis is smart asf, because he was aware of how much he was worth back at that time, he was determined to get his moneys worth and I respect that
Joe Rogan knows exactly what’s happening he’s trying to act like he has no idea. Bro, you’ve been in the UFC for years. Do you know how these contracts work?
I need a book of bedtime stories read by Francis
Here’s the thing on those extensions. A UFC contract is the offer you a 5 fight deal that means they offer u 5 not give you 5. If you turn one down that counts as 1 fight so your down to 4 but with that extension it just puts it back to 5 cause someone can get a cash bonus on the sign and turn down all 5 fights with no extensions and that’s the contract cause the contract is to “offer” you 5 fights. The extension is to protect the UFCs money from a loophole.
Fighters are also to blame for signing these contracts. It should not just be a "3/5 fight" contract, it should be "be 3/5 fights or 2.5 years" for example. That way the promotion can't keep you with one fight left and drag it out or never let it happen.
UFC's (Dana's) biggest mistake ever is screwing over Francis. His story is incredible and he's the most exciting heavyweight ever to watch.
Dana didn't screw over Francis, Francis did that to himself.
Most exciting heavyweight ever to watch??? Lol yeah right
@@Gratefulfellow exactly, francis sold 300k ppv's while being champion in his last fight with gane, and expected to make money as if he was conor
@@stacks3892 it's mental, it's delusional.
Nah he will be forgotten in 5 years
He's an incredible man
There should be a gofundme for him, he is a great fighter and very respectful to america!
his story kind of all over the place some, on the extensions. he is a cool dude. he just needs better people to read his contracts, he will do good in boxing
That’s why it’s a lawsuit, do you think your lawyer can come remotely close to the UFC’s lawyers? Stop that “just read the contract,” UFC has unlimited resources & will drown you out. They already tried to form a union. You see Dana put a stop to that years ago.
This man is true to his heart. He doesn’t need all that fancy sh!t lifestyle. He isn’t desperately seeking attention. Dude came from nothing. He can live that way if need be. No one can take that away from him. Pretty f@cking rare in this world full of money hungry idiots……
That's exactly what killed Dana on the inside, if you recall him saying how he "tried and tried" negotiating with Francis, my guess is trying means every nasty tactic in your "fight game industry handbook" which never worked on him because these people don't come from your lifestyle so for them living a life you consider beneath you, that is a reality of life that they had/have to go through every single day and you can only see fit to capitalize on that. doesn't work on everyone but you still hurt them and that's the worst part.
The success of Dana white proves God does not rule this world
He seems like such a nice guy.
I respect Ngannou so much more after this ..I believe him and Joe is gangsta and love how his personality is on his podcast
Ooh he's Soo humble. 😂
My heavyweight goat. Noble warrior
Big business does not like people who stand their ground.
What a gentleman Francis. What a genuine man ❤️
I remember something in the lines of Dana saying his punch is equal to a for escort truck, the UFC and Dana made him on the other hand Stipe was always disrespected.
In that instance yes. But as soon as there was contract issues with Francis. UFC began it's campaign to devalue Ngannou (as they do alllllll the time with fighters especially champions) remember Cyril Gane ? The UFC propped him so high. Made him out to be the second coming of Bruce Lee. Gave him an interim belt just after Ngannou won the legitimate belt.
@@richarddixon1450 Why would they not? Not everyone is Conor just see the numbers of Francis vs Tyson nobody is interested. Ufc made him from fucking nothing he should have enough loyalty for the company which made him and Dana tried so hard to make a superstar out of Francis but the truth is if he were to fight Stipe again he would lose let alone win against Jon.
@@ritwijayushmaan1834 terrible take.
UFC SHOULD PAY THE FIGHTERS MORE MONEY 💰
how much more are you willing to donate to them so they can get paid more??
@@etf42That’s on them homie you think they doing donations for boxing
@@Agent47001 why is it on them? don't _you_ want them to get paid more? you think you should decide how someone else decides to spend their money? you realize you cant compare UFC to boxing, right? please tell me you understand basic economics....don't embarrass yourself.
WHY?!? Why should the UFC pay fighters MORE when when there is an endless supply of fighters wanting to come to the UFC??
BINGO !
Yo Francis is so freaking cool, so nice, so calm, still so deadly
Francis is such an incredible story, love this guy
