Francis Ngannou is the hardest puncher MMA has ever seen - here we look how opponents reacted before and after facing 'The Predator'.
After beating Cyril Gane at UFC 270, the MMA world holds its breath to see what a revitalised version of Ngannou can bring to 2023.

Big respect to Curtis Blaydes. Man’s fought Francis in his UFC debut. And fought him another time after that!
That’s right, genuine post fight reaction…Beaten but not afraid to fight again after an upgrade…That’s the way of a true warrior.
And wants to fight him again! Lol Curtis is tough as hell
So did stipe but fuck the way he kod stipe i thought he was dead lol
@@jaimegarcia5282 so what??stipe got kod by DC and look what happened to DC lol.
Yea his interview made me really like him
Francis' story is just amazing. Literally came from the trenches to the top of the world. Inspiring
@@brad_8882 I did, it's just like you said
Every single UFC fighter comes out of the "trenches" well not all C.M.Punk, Brock Lesner, Ronda Rousey...
@@kskeel1124 That's why I used the word "literally". He was a literal miner as a ten year old.

That uppercut Francis hit Overeem with was the most violent punch I've ever seen someone get hit with. I thought Overeem was dead. I was seriously concerned that he wasn't getting up.
no one can take that punch not even tyson fury
That uppercut sent oversees to the shadow realm. He almost died
His head almost reached Mars now and isnt slowing down any time soon.
Terrifying
@@GamingScottsman yall wildn wit Dat shadow realm shit🤣
If you’re not an MMA fan or if this is your first time hearing of Ngannou, you need to go look at his knock outs. He does not have the best technique, but his raw power is just a sight to behold.
Who can stop him?
@@aghulk9446 Stipe did humble him once, and Ngannou won back in the rematch if I remember well. Ngannou is strong but he isn't unstuppable.
@@aghulk9446 clearly he isn't unstoppable since he's lost matches before
@@samuel_goopster6600 key word before.. he stopped the guy who stopped him before, but who can stop him Now?
@@samuel_goopster6600 All of his loses were decision and he has never been finished in his entire career. Keep 🤫
I'd fight Francis for 500 million so I could spend 450 million to rebuild my body haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you crazy
LMAO come on bro gotta fight smart for that kinda money.. use a high guard to set yourself up to eat a body shot or low kick then go down for the TKO no need to destroy your whole body 😭😭.. side note if he decides to punch you in the head regardless of high guard stick to the plan 500mill waiting for you when you wake up.. if you remember 💀
Still might not be enough 😭😭😭
@@kingzzLoc I’m not risking my life 🤣🤣🤣 what if I don’t make it? Who will spend my money???
6:55 Power is not enough That's definitely when Francis became the Champ!
I watched people play the UFC games and I've now graduated to watching full UFC. That's also how I heard about Mr. Ngannou and then watched his highlights. I like this guy as a fighter and as a human. He is so calm and composed even when he loses.
This man is such a fighter. It’s easy for him in a cage than outside of it. This guy has been fighting unbelievable adversities all his life. His life is like a movie and the only way I perceive Francis is like a dominator who would rather die in a ring than outside considering the shit he had to go through. What a monster, straight outta the depths of hell
"He's not Mike Tyson" sure knocked you out like he was
mike tyson ain't 6'4 275 lbs
@@cody44554 y’all act like Mike Tyson was small , height doesn’t equal being small . He was 230 Ibs pure muscle and had wrists thicker than a oak tree
@@worldwidesensation9063 wasnt very big compared to other heavyweights
@@cody44554 yet was knocking out guys much bigger than him at heavyweight….
@@plant.1374 But definitely wasn't small either, he looked like a grown man at 15 and was beating grown heavyweights at the age of 18-21
Francis has such a great career man, so happy for him to see him in this position ❤️. Jon vs ngannou would be a PPV attraction ✨
If that went down that would be a bigger ppv than khabib vs Connor
I would pay to see Jones potentially put to sleep. Great fighter, shitbag of a human.
He’s eating Jon jones I don’t see Jones being able to do anything
@@kyle1592 yeah i agree, even jones in his prime, but still need to have that fight happen
@@DrEdge97 it’s gonna look a lot like izzy vs polish dude
A true heavyweight champion. None of that point fighting bs; straight for the devastating K.O.
Except against Gane LOL
@@josceola8979 His knees were fucked
@@josceola8979 gane has the beat footwork in the weightclass. He never stood still long enough to get bombed on
@Wildcard Uh oh Francis Bandwagon rider is mad LOL Edit your comment some more kiddo. All those terrible injuries and still no surgery traveling everywhere and showing up to Fury fight pretending hes nothing but easy work for Tyson Fury LOL
@@josceola8979 He had surgery shortly after....Even Dana white said he's waiting on Francis to Recover
Francis' story made me tear up for real😢 I'm so happy that he's doing great for himself now
Let's go!!! My favourite. A gentle giant outside of the ring, but inside....
😆 in the bed right
I wish Francis was 25 years old. His Power is insane And i wish he remains in UFC
Ufc is a big time cheat so he must leave to fight for his dreams ( boxing 🥊)
At 25 he was trying to find his way out of Cameroon while all his current opponents were already in the UFC..
Oppsie
Lmao
Great job bro, as African & neighbour to Cameroon, I find lots of motivation in Francis story as he made himself the world champion from nothing with no help, also Stipe is a real hero so humble & talented, Francis should learn from him
@Wildcard Not the fighting skills , he already knocked him down, to be humble & good attitude which will gain him respect of the other fighters if you watch MMA you will know what I’m talking about
Ngannou has a great story , Glory to JESUS 💪🏆👑
This man trained in deep mines as a child. Forget Martial arts just imagine going against that level of gravity
since its the same amount of gravity as the surface, yes.
Get off his nutts bozo lol. So your saying that anybody who does that work will be a champion in a fight promotion like boxing or MMA 😆😆. It's just like someone who goes to the gym to get buff and if they where given opportunity to fight in ufc would they would they even win a fight
@@cody44554 gravity is the strongest at the edge of the outer core, which is the bottom of the mantle. The outer core is 2,200 kilometers underground. When you go deeper than that, gravity starts to decrease. So gravity is stronger in a deep mine than it would be on the surface, but probably not enough to really notice.
@@jacobsee4196 lmfao gravity has nothing to do with mma wtf are you guys smoking. Listening to way too much JRE. He comes from the mines, that’s a tough fucking life hence why he’s so determined. Oh and the fact that he packs nuclear warheads in each of his fists
@@jacobsee4196 gravity doesn't suddenly decrease at 2,200 km. No human has even been that close to the core to render such an opinion. I think what you're trying to say is that atmospheric pressure decreases after the Earth's mantle because the mantle blocks the atmospheric pressures from reaching the core. Except for, you know, the mathematical equations of scientists who have never even set foot anywhere near the Earth's core; yet they know everything. So parrot them and sing like a canary
Ngannou's life story literally sounds like some anime protagonist. Hard labor from childhood, treacherous journey, living in the wilderness while trying to cross the ocean on makeshift rafts.
To then become champ
You people and your cartoons…
@@kalobpowers9907 “you people are your cartoons” 🤓🤓
@@kalobpowers9907 are you a idiot or something? So you’re saying he never went thru those things
The way this is put together, you're bringing newbie fans into the fold of MMA. Great video
I would love consistent mma content from you, your videos are always on point! Thanks for the hardwork I really appreciate it!
He is a gentle giant, very well mannered and respectful calm fighter with a devastating punch so this being said, (eventhough I'm a John Jones fan) Francis is the only man that I think has a better shot at beating JONES!
Tyson fury just entered the arena...
@@Metso-ateco Jon Jones treats Tyson Fury like his bitch. Walks through his whole bloodline in 4 minutes or less.
@@Metso-ateco How is Tyson Fury related to this?
@@Metso-ateco Francis would finish hin bro,
@@Metso-ateco Wrong arena💀
Nobody gives Stipe credit. Extremely humble and is scared of nobody. He is without a doubt Francis biggest threat
😂 nope he got his ass kicked
Went looking for a Ngannou vid and saw that this blessing of a channel had uploaded one. Pure bliss. great job as always.
It's funny how guys like Francis, Usman and Anderson can scare you with their strikes and later make you smile with their soft spoken nature.
I am a casual when it comes to mma, but holy this channel is next level, in order to make it simple, and understand deeper aspects in the fight game
Fight fans welcome back!! How we missed that. More MMA please
The fact that Cyril Gane lasted 5 rounds with him is absolutely insane, the heavyweight division doesn't have as much hype today as it did many years ago in the UFC but my God, Cyril and Francis are the 2 best fighters that ever existed on this planet
Francis went 5 rounds against a Prime Ciryl with one knee and won 😂😂 is even more impressive.
@@alinddash9567 Prime Ciryl? Didn’t he have like ten fights?
@@bear2959 He was 31 and undefeated no injuries whatsoever.
@@bear2959 what else is he gonna add? he weighs 20 pounds less then ngannou so i dont think he can become much better on the ground. his technique is perfect. ngnnaou has already beaten what gane is.
@@alinddash9567 Wrestling is even more demanding on the knees than striking, yet Francis choose to wrestle Gane, what gives? Because Francis knows he is getting out striked
Francis is just incredible he shows improvement every time he fights and his power is unmatched in MMA history he is testament to hard work and taking a chance.
This came up in my suggestions, I didnt think I'd get through the entire 18 mins but the editing and style of the video is top notch.
You can't hate Ngannou, he is such a nice guy. Should listen to Joe Rogan's podcast when Ngannou was the guest, the story of him getting into MMA is amazing. Through the troubles he faced he never gave up and he always remained humble.
I love how calm and nice he is. He's not trying to intimidate people by acting like a crazy maniac tough sob. He's just humble and Confident and let's his skill do the intimidation
Love how all the fighters change their opinion about Francis after they’ve been ko’d.
These videos are getting better from time to time. Keep up the good work!
Francis Ngannou is actually the best HW MMA fighter there has ever been. I know some people are emotional about old favourites like Fedor, but let's be real, Ngannou would kill Fedor. There has never been a fighter more elite then Ngannou in his prime. He figured out how to beat the well rounded Stipe, and even how to deal with the highly skilled Gane. This is why Ngannou is the best ever, he isn't just an athletic version of Lewis, he actually is a smart and calculated fighter as well, he has literally defeated every single elite HW, and in dominating fashion. Indeed he deserves a lot more respect than he gets.
Agreed but we need one more fight with stipe and also never knew what it was like if he wasn’t injured against gane how that would’ve gone
agreed. ngannou is the best hw we've ever seen. the most underrated thing about ngannou is his defense. he rarely gets hit clean. he has beaten the best from the old generation like STIPE, overeem, jds, and cain. And the new generation like gane, blaydes and rozenstruik
@Wildcard damn, sorry i meant rozenstruik.
Wtf? Gane beat him!
Bro fedor was walking through cro cop head kicks and completely airborne suplexes 😂 cool down.
He’s literally the Mike Tyson of MMA, I’m glad I got to see this legend during my time
Stylistically he is nothing like Tyson. Tyson was a short, smaller sized heavyweight with elite speed, defense and footwork. Ngannu is much more like young George Foreman. A huge beast of a man with enough power in either hand to kill a building.
whhaahha far from that
@@Elthenar Actual fax coming from this man.
@@realhoodbaby1023 Lots of people had Mike Tysons power. I could name 5 guys off the top of my head who hit much harder than Tyson. What made Tyson special was that he had legit power combined with incredible accuracy, speed, defense and footwork.
@@realhoodbaby1023 it wasn’t Tyson’s power that made him special It was his footwork speed and technique that let him land clean with his power every time
This documentary is what you call perfection 👌🏾💪🏾I loved only thing wrong is that it wasn’t longer 😂😂
This Was a GREAT! Video. Smooth and Professional Editing, Perfect Music, On Spot Clips and Quotes. Damn, Man. Great Job.
Two men made in a laboratory, well said 👏
@Wildcard that’s the best kind of laboratory , adversity and suffering builds monsters
“I was born underdog, being underdog doesn’t surprise me” He’s had a dark past but he’s in the light now
11:03 that “knee buckle” was caused by a short uppercut btw
I love how they always skip that detail, like a ghost dropped him.
I seen that and they don’t even acknowledge it
@Wildcard he didn’t fake shit
The creator doesn't really follow the fights. They are making video to get views.
This is quality work , Clip selection was perfect. I appreciate the effort put here ... I had goosebumps watching this . 👏 👏 👏 👏
I really respect this guy he seems nice yet an absolute beast
Whoever edited and produced this did a phenomenal job
He's literally my favorite fighter ❤️
Yooo i never knew you had a mma channel awesome bro I love ur vids
Keep these videos coming love your content bro, the way you speak and everything really works amazingly 🙏🙏
it was annoying how many mma fans criticized Ngannou for his performance against lewis meanwhile Derreck recieved almost zero and Lewis tried to blame Ngannou for how the fight turned out
@Wildcard As much as it pains me to say it, Lewis is overrated. Don't get me wrong he is dangerous with the power, but he is one-dimensional and is lazy with his training, plus he lacks heart when the going gets tough. Whenever Lewis fights someone technical he always struggles and eventually gets beaten, usually wilting and quitting in the process. Tuivasa was the exception because of his chin, heart and his own power, beat Lewis at his own game. Lewis is a credible opponent, but he's not a champion-level fighter. He's a gatekeeper where beating him puts you in the mix but doesn't mean you're going to become champion. Occasionally the punchers chance Lewis always possesses allows him to KO someone who should have beaten him like Curtis Blaydes.
@Wildcard I still remember how after JDS vs Ngannou was finally announced in 2019 (they were supposed to fight at UFC 215 in 2017 but it didn't happen), JDS and many people said he was gonna beat Ngannou with leg kicks and kick to the body. Well, Francis Ngannou said "not on your life" and at the 1st second of the fight threw a massive calf kick. And the Gane fight, not only did he win using wrestling, he won by going the distance. One thing to remember, Francis Ngannou might not look like one today, but like he said many times, he's been an underdog his whole life. When he was telling people in Cameroon that he was gonna be a world champion, people thought he was nuts, including his own mother.
@Wildcard To me, beating Gane by UD was the best for him. Because of how much haters were downplaying, especially with the usual comments "he can't go 5 rounds", "his cardio is shitty". When his coach posted on IG of Francis sparring Rico Verhoeven, there were people on his time-line saying Francis is scared of Gane. Also, It was nice he fucked Dana's plans up. It was pretty ironic Dana White was nowhere to be found after the fight ended.
@Wildcard I didn't explain. The reason I said it was ironic was because 4 years ago, Dana White was the one who called Francis Ngannou out, saying he had a big ego. Well, Dana showed he has an ego, because he couldn't show his face and take the L like a man.
@@madgavin7568 i feel its lewis relaxed style of fighting that caused his loss to Tuivasa Full credit to Tai for his resilience and he's an amazing fighter in his own right.. but lewis was just too lethargic
I will never don't get goosebumps from that voice and absolute editing/showcase perfection
what?
@@lowlowseesee are you drunk?
Love your boxing channel. Happy I found your MMA channel. Most KZheadrs are boxing or MMA. It’s good to have a combat sports KZheadr.
The editing on the videos is next level! Keep up the good work
There was only one man who called out Ngannou, but he got put out in 20seconds.
Rozenstruik but the guy comes over as lazy to me not really as a serious fighter.
@@brucepower3429 He’s not a lazy fighter he’s an opportunist, a fighter who looks for opening, which yeah he loses rounds but when he lands he lands, but he is putting in the work, he’s take down defense is improving.
Francis just keeps improving. He is not a powerful beast, he is more than a skilled fighter, he is a strategist in all if life. Leaving the UFC is his best battle yet!
Really good short docu film guys I truly enjoyed watching this. Well done!!
Great Video! I can't wait until the LEGEND Ngannou returns in 2023!
If you want to be a great fighter you have to face greater fighters 👏👏👏👏 Francis
Do you see this guy? This is exactly the spirit we want (and we have) when people come here in the French foreign legion. Life warrior, real fighters... Full respect Francis
This video is so well produced ... awesome story telling and great to watch
Thank you for this
Francis wasn't ever going to give up. Dude is a fighter in life as well.
I like that he seems humble, maybe not but he seems it in all the videos I have seen.
Amazing work on this video! Well done
Might have been one of the best produced fighter breakdowns on KZhead, bravo!
God I hope we get to see Ngannou vs Jones soon.
Best fight but idk man I got ngannou his power is just so unpredictable
If they ever make Jones vs Francis fight ever happen, it’ll be the best fight we see in years
These videos are so fkn well made, please dont stop, i beg you 🥺
Notif gang. Ready for this banger always a great video!
11:02 Still hate when people say it was a knee buckle. The knee buckle was caused by a sneaky uppercut that no one saw even the camera's barely picked it up. It was a flash knockdown and because he's lights were out momentarily he fel and "hurt" he's knee, maybe he barely even hurt he's knee
I can tell he's heavy handed some of his punches look effortless
Before watching the video, i can assume this is going to be one of the great ones i will ever watch ! a Motivedia-MMA video about Francis Ngannou ... WOW !
Please post more, Amazing content
Poor JDS said "He connected the right hand and it's done ,I'm one more victim" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Francis doesn't have opponents but victims 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 really funny
Love your videos. Thats professional production. About Francis Ngannou, this dude is without any doubt the scariest and the top best fighter of his weight. He is really powerful and has demostrated incredible improvements to be the unique and undisputed champion of the world.
What a great video, fantastic job, keep at it!
These are so so well made
1:59 Dude that's exactly how fighting should be. Handshakes and no drama. Loved seeing that.
Cain's buckle was from an uppercut. Mofos rewriting history in real time
came back to this video after the robbery of his loss to tyson fury. the greatest athlete around. what a motivation tale Ngannou is
I never get tired of watching this.
:0 yasss another video 🙏🏽
He has proven to be the best, knocking out top HW fighters in 1 and 2 round's
I would love to see Ngannou fight Lesnar when Lesnar was fresh in the ufc!
I would of like to see him fight a healthy younger cain if cain kept at it.
This editing is television quality🖤🗣️.
I love the Boxing videos and love theese mma ones, please keep them coming, Thanks!
Man a fight between Jon bones Jones and Francis Ngannou would be terrific 🤯
Francis and Anthony RUMBLE Johnson are two of the scariest strikers to ever fight in the UFC
Alex Pereira comes in line too , btw RIP rumble
This guy's voice reminds me of my own when I'm at work, I hope you cherish your gift because it's a beautiful one.
Most inspiring fighter out there. Love the man.
He's such a badass
This guy is a beast I feel sorry who ever fights him
Francis is an amazing human being and what a story
I love these vids pls post more !!
NGannou is like Kaido. He's waiting for the chosen one that will be able to defeat him
LMAO fact's
This man crossed 3 continents with nothing but the clothes on his back and a dream to lift his life out of poverty. What are you gonna do, stop him? He'd like to see you try.
