The man was homeless in a parking lot with no id, didnt speak the language, had no friends or support and the only thing in his mind was to be a world champion. Wow
They speak French in cameroon
Facts. But he definitely spoke french
...and that was the easy part
France 🌏
What a man.
Amazing story. Look where he is now. So humble yet deadly.
People still underestimate him, I think, even after the tactical mind he showed against Gane. He has scarier hands than Wilder, and he fights smarter, I don't count him out, against Tyson, so easily. despite the obvious books advantage to the gypsy king, i really would love to see that bout, and even if he doesn't take the victory, I bet Francis shows he belongs in contention for those belts. that UFC fighters can perfect the sweet science
Francis is a true example of anything is possible if you truely believe in yourself
Most of us are too scared and pampered in our current situation to go for our dreams and work hard for it. I bet he also prayed a lot.
Being an illegal immigrant is chasing your dreams?
Salty Euroid strikes again!
@@destructoooo Crossing Sahara,Crossing fence 8 times,Crossing Mediterranean on a swimming pool raft is not following dreams?
@@destructooooyou grew up in an American household you can’t imagine what it’s even like coming out from his position
@@indravrtrahaana763 Crossing whatever still doesn't put you above the law.
One day soon this podcast is going to get huge. The content is a class above.
Anytime time now pal.. Movie in making?
Not really.
@@brandonfromkc2815 the content and viewpoints are A+, if the production value was higher it would take off
Each time I imagine walking in his shoes, with what this man has endured, my small-time problems become nearly nonexistent. This man wa/is a genuine inspiration - before ever stepping-foot into the octagon! 💜
You're the true champion ! Please make a movie about his life story ! It'll be thrilling ! From Cameroon to Paris and to UFC heavyweight champion ! You're an Inspiration !
Hope the boxing community can see Ngannou and his story, it's crazy and he was blessed with talents for combat sports. In turn this helps his people back in his country, building schools, shops and leisure facilities for children. The UFC unfortunately hyped Ngannou too much and he got Stipe, yet he has improved dramatically since then. Great interview.
Definitely a slap to every complaint we all make, everyday. HUGE.
Being an illegal immigrant is chasing your dreams?
@@destructoooo Nah, you got it twisted. It's mind over matter, that's the bottom line.
@@Hassy Laws don't apply to dream-chasers?
People starting to search for him. This video will go viral.
i'm here after last night's fight against Fury. What an individual!
Facts this channel is some heat
Your spot on Teddy. I need to complain a lot less.
I learn alot from his story and it inspires me and give me the strength to go forward
Great interview thanks for the amazing content y’all
And Now he's the world champion he made it
Heavyweight World champ ✊🏿
I found out my mom's African family is from Cameroon (DNA testing) and she's been asking me about the place. This is so cool. Everyone deserves an opportunity to succeed. Just give them a chance.
Can give you more information on the place. I am CAMEROONian
@@IamGodSon Congratulations on having a champion in the UFC! I would love to visit some day. I'm getting my Covid vaccine and hope to travel again once the pandemic has subsided. I saw the video of Cameroonians reacting to Francis Ngannou's win and they looked so happy. What part of Cameroon are you from? I hope you and your family are doing well. Thanks!
So everyone deserves to be let into a western country for free is what ur saying 😂
Shit, I was supporting Miocic for tonight's fight. Now I don't know who should I support anymore.
Dude it’s not about what u don’t have or want to have it’s about completing what u urself could’ve done like knowing u atleast tried. This is what francis ngannou has been saying in many interviews is that even if he didn’t make it he will be satisfied and happier than if he hadn’t tried because it’s important to KNOW about these important moments in someone’s life
2 years later!!!🔥🔥🔥
How can such a scary monster be so nice and humble.. I don't get it!!!
This guy is without doubt the toughest guy in the UFC…he might lose a few fights…but mentally no fighter has walked in his shoes…incredible story…just incredible
Sounds like the makings of a award winning movie rags to riches stories seem to capture audiences especially when they are based on truth this guy’s story is better than rocky
PED GSP Francis is the most tested heavyweight and has never failed a PED test so wtf are you talking about? Have him confused with someone else?
PED GSP lol this drug has been around for decades wtf you on about 😂 How long have you live under that damn rock?
@@jackforpresident22 not only that, if you look at pictures of him in africa where he's definately not on aything, he's still huge, the man has real muscular genetics, he's a freak
His the baddest man on the planet, really life experience is the best workout ever.
Respect
Great story. Francis is a hero for the long journey alone.
Being an illegal immigrant hero is chasing your dreams?
Yes because the Frogs love a minority they can exploit they would call Francis a Frenchman if he accepted. Stay salty Euroid!
@@destructoooo you wouldn’t understand because you’re privileged. You wouldn’t survive a day in his 14 month journey From Cameroon-Nigeria-Niger-Algeria-Morocco-Spain to France
@@noelnoni7310 You're right, I wouldn't, however it's not what I'm trying to say.
@@destructoooo what are you really trying to say?
That means A lot coming from Teddy Atlas
This guy is a legend
Amazing person.............."
Wow!
Bro even learned 2 other languages whilst on the way to success
I am Moroccan, I came from another way through the Balkan countries, and now I live in the same conditions in France The difference is that I sometimes work as a daily laborer in construction or agriculture and I want to become a champion in the arts of war and fighting, but I do not know which club here I am still searching and hoping for the best
I hope you succeed khoya
How did you get a work visa?
Macron personally gave him one Euroid
You wont achive that if you have to ask youre an anchor baby and a low wage worker
They can make a movie about his life
My wife "lived" there lol
From African nightmare to American Dream that's the 2020 Rocky
We need a movie!
fuck man I legit almost cried listening to this guys story! That is some hectic shit! Would make a epic movie once hes champ!
Doing that Trip across the Sahara to North Africa for Gods Sake sure you avoid Libya 😢
Teddy: "hey Francis" Francis:"yes titty" Teddy: "can we clone about a million of you to come over from Africa."
I love francis! his life was a fight before the octagon!! hes already a champ
Deep down Teddy wants to hijack the behemoth and take him to boxing and train him and create another champion boxer. I can read your mind Teddy ! (it would be awesome if it really happened though. Ngannou has a solid boxing background too and it's entirely possible and he originally trained to be a Professional Boxer for years. MMA for him was an accident. Ngannou would be earning a sh*t ton of money in boxing and the dude has a humble heart of gold. He deserves the best in life. Hope Teddy sees this.)
this comment aged well
And new
Joe rogan talks about this in his latest podcast
Francis "Opportunity" Ngannou 😉
wheres the clifnotes
Imagine being the guy who was like “yeah, I guess I’ll let Francis Ngannou train at my gym for free”
1:00
Do I smell Black Rocky movie coming up
Francis vs. Wilder
Please! Nobody wants to Wilder do the STANKY LEG ANYMORE!!
An amazing story but 1 lion of a man af muscle. A natural born fighter.
tiene espiritu de guerrero como sanson o el rey David
Here's how we do that Teddy. 2k-10k for legal citizenship for people already here. Speed up the process for the migration that already happened.
Thank God he didn't turn into a serial killer.
Fuck ... People have no idea the reality of the world.what people go through in other nations Yet we have all this hate among each other just because we disagree. Much love Francis I'm glad you made it. Blessing to the world
Being an illegal immigrant is chasing your dreams?
@@destructoooo you’re a fuckin miserable loser replying this bs to every comment stay broke
He was in morrocco after that spain so morrocco was his door to Europe
Morroco treated him like sh1t
@@ronj7658 ask him or go see his interviews bro all africains people live with us better than ther contry go give your self some information your brain is small to think
Francis is anglophone francophone Man should have came to england
Lies
how the fuck he got 250 pound eating in a parking lot
Good genetic I guess
@iurigouveia9788 definitely phenomenal African genes.
I can confirm what this guy is saying. I live in North Moroccoi see how immigrants are treated and it is disgusting. I spoke to some of them and their stories are shocking.
Do Morrocans look down on black Africans?
@@wtfisditvoorbullshit we are all treated the same here by the authorities. But the black Africans get worst of it. People sympathize with them because they understand why they left their countries , usually it's for the same reasons they want to leave Morocco too.
12th bitches!
Yikes. A little soon for talking a bout being over And creating a super race from Africa man.
Problem is Europe alows people to come in and give them money.. It's crazy. We have refugee camps in East Europe and they don't want to stay there, cause government doesn't give them money. It's the great replacement.
Lol is trump watching this???
I remember the episode when he is on the JRE and Rogan is telling everyone how he always was that big and muscular and then you see the pics on this video... looks like completely different guy. Frances has gone through some serious roid cycles
@Dustin Equevilley he definitely has elite genetics
@Salvador Dalí but USADA does the testing, not the UFC
My guy was doing cardio all day running from border patrol
"had no money" how tf did you get from africa to europe then? Also how tf did you afford steroids and food? Complete lie, he went to europe looking for a hand out
Hes a bum
Oh so he is an illegal immigrant? i wonder what story he lied about in France to get to stay
You should listen to Joe Rogan podcast with Francis. Great stories the whole time
Please get help lmao
@@lindsaykay6658 Help? one guy does well while the rest and up to literally nothing but crime around here from rape to violent assaults. And i need help? liberals are literally the dumbest people in existence with their diversity bullshit.
Shame on you Francis!After facing all those difficulties you went back this week to Cameroon and train the BIR (The Cameroon Army who don't follow human rights and are killing Anglophone people in the Nord and Southern region).
Terrorist have taken the same..... Journey WITHOUT the Civilized Society's like Europe....and USA This ain't no story... ....... Never did he Thank the people's who sheltered and feed him....???? ...... He's a Victim..?? In the lands of opportunity.......oh well Not surprised.
How TF do u know he isn't grateful and thanked the people who helped him.
@@chavinho7793 WORDS. THOSE ARE LETTERS PUT TOGETHER THAT FORM A THOUGHT PROCESS. .....I NEVER HEARD THE "WORD'S" OF GRATITUDE. EXAMPLE: I WOULD LIKE TOO THANK THE PEOPLE'S OF EUROPE/FRANCE FOR PROVIDING ME WITH..... ......NOPE..NEVER HEARD THEM.... WORD'S. DIDN'T EXPECT TOO ALSO. ALSO....DON,T TAKE IT PERSONALLY....BUT WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TOO DEFEND HIM WHEN HE NEVER SHOWED GRATITUDE ??? LET ME GUESS.....RACIST ? TRY THAT ONE. WELL THAT'S WHEN I KNOW Y'ALL A DUMB ASS MOFO. FEEL ME...FEEL THIS.
@@FreeTurtleboy HOW do YOU know he didn't thank them in person goofball.
@@chavinho7793 I'll accept being a Silly Goofball at Times.... BUT i can recognize an ungrateful bastard when i see an hear them Act. Alright...you Win. Dog's gotta piss.....gotta go. If you see Charlie Parker..... Tell him his kid...should at least be in Billerica doing a Duce I heard it fro Howie The Bastard was funny.
What are you talking about? 🤣
I can't really respect Francis after finding out he is a criminal and was incarcerated. Why the hell UFC signed him up? No way they never knew of this.
He was running away from a land with no opportunity to a land WITH opportunity, and now he’s using his success and wealth to lift up his people back home. If you can’t respect that then idk what to tell you bud. Just because something is illegal, that doesn’t make it EVIL. Not 200 years ago, it was illegal for a slave to run away from his/her master here in America. In those times, that person would be a CRIMINAL. The more you learn, the more you’ll see this world isn’t so black and white, right and left.
@Aivarioha another jealous chick. Francis is a good,hardworking dude that LITERALLY had 0 cash for his family and stuff. So stfu and now the guy has the money to support his family and himself.
@@littlelizard3483 Laws are laws, if we start taking shortcuts and making excuses then you will eventually end up with chaos and more corruption. You think illegal immigration is a joke? Boy you're fooling yourself.
@@afsarmuhammad8085 Make me.
Also I bet my life you wouldn't speak to anyone like that in person let alone Ngannou.
