He simply stood up for himself and should not pay attention to all the outside noise. knowing your worth will take you places. Respect.
Couldn't of said it better bro I like the mindset
I mean he may get 30-40 mill to fight Fury win or Lose. He would never make that in the UFC. Perfect way to retire which he should after that type of payday.
Plus Jon would have ended his career in one round.
@@spencer9488 lol, John lost to reyes and arguably to santos as well🤣
He might of shot himself in the foot.
i’m always gon be sad that this man ain’t in the ufc in these super fights. but hope he succeeds in what he does next
He’s going to come back. Jones vs Gane is the simply a build up to the super fight which is Jones vs Francis
@@abrahamgonzalez8270 if jones does win and calls out Francis they gotta at least sign Francis to a 1 fight deal. Could you imagine the atmosphere of Jones vs Francis. Would be insane. UFC would never do it though.
3D monkey greedy
@@theflash608 you never know...Dana and Zuffa backflip all the time
@@abrahamgonzalez8270 nice conspiracy casual, Francis will never do that
The multiple personality comment is hilarious 😂
And facts jones was scared priced himself out of their fight then talks crap when francis not in the ufc building and its safe to talk that way😂
@@JM-bx2vg facts, he asked for like, what? 20 million to fight ngannou? LMFAO
It really is
@@JM-bx2vg keep telling yourself that jon is scared Both want fair money Ufc makes over 100 million from jones vs ngannou but wants to give both 10 Robbing
@@backbone93 lmao why isn't he asking for 20 mil to fight anyone else? cope some more.
He’s a living legend. One of the great stories/inspirations in sports and life.
Shut up. Everyone has a story / great story … he’s a coward for running from his beating.
He's a nobody other then his story of getting to America. His biggest accomplishment was beating stipe once. Stipe beat him the first time. He's no legend his greed left him without a contract and no boxing matches. No big paycheck.
@@ivanchavez6226 thanks bud sounds refreshing hearing some authentic and real responses
@@ivanchavez6226 Ivan chavez never heard of the guy
@@ivanchavez6226 He's a nobody so that's why UFC was ready to pay him millions to stay?
They dropped the ball ESPN could have made a movie about this man’s live
Frances Ngannou!!! The Actual Heavy Weight Champ, The Most DOMINANT!!! Can’t wait for Your Boxing Match, whether it’s Fury, Wilder, AJ and or Dillian White. Comprehensive Answers to the questions Brother, 👊🏾🦁🦁🇨🇲🇨🇲🇳🇬🇺🇸
Looking forward to following Francis in whatever he does.
in the 80's he would've been on the cover of sports illustrated like Bo Jackson, for trying to do mma & boxing at the same time. or Ali when he tried the mixed-rules match with Inoki. Francis should get more love from the media, fans & promoters for trying to break the rules. its a huge moment. i hope something big happens for him. its kind of worrying if it doesn't
There was a novelty to it back then. Now, any casual fan knows a career MMA fighter would get whooped in Boxing and vice versa. Francis is boxing for the money, not the sport or for legacy and everyone knows it, that’s why they don’t care.
@@Intoboom126 what did conor do it for lmao
@@justinjasper03 I don’t get it??? The lmao…. Conner boxing was a novelty as well and went like everyone knew it would as soon a Floyd wanted to he won the fight
@@ryanhalvorsen6497 he took the boxing goat 10 rounds , heavyweights like francis is a novelty
@@justinjasper03 lol 😂 Floyd was letting it go that far. Floyd didn’t even start throwing punches until the 8th. Mcg kept hitting Floyd in the back of the head. Like I said that fight ended like we all knew it would. Floyd let mcg tire himself out and when Floyd started fighting it was over quickly novelty fight not close
He described Jon well, a bunch of personalities.
Indeed… Francis is much more than a brute.
Ngannou has turned into a business man which is even more fascinating coz at the end of the day everytime he gets in the ring he puts his life and health on the line.
Yes, but thats his trade, but better be compensated properly like these HW in boxing for a fight. Cant blame him really.
Who the F cares about how much money he makes? He could care less how much you make
@@mikefitzpatrick43 people care about dana strealing from a sordid contract because ngannou is an idole not Dana. Do you understand 😀
Francis you the man!
07:49 Francis had him shook😂
You can tell he was ready to get knocked out
Lol I was just thinking of how to answer his question in a way that made sense. Far from shook. He told me after the interview he appreciated all the questions so take that for what you will. 🤷♂ - MB
Was thinking the same thing, was hilarious during the first watch
@@MMAJunkieOfficial it’s a joke lad 😐💀
@@MMAJunkieOfficial ur good bro good interview stayed patient n didn't get weary. Respect brotha ✊
It is weird that Jon Jones sat out 2+ years because he felt he wasn't paid enough to fight, but when ngannou walks away because of pay issues and other benefits, Jones immediately signs to fight Gane. Then proceeds to bash ngannou like he was scared to get in the octagon with him. That looks weak.
agreed.
Bruh…..Dana white literally said Jon would’ve taken any fighter at heavyweight and Francis left because of money. Francis never signed the contract to fight Jon Jones and Dana White has done multiple interviews explaining this. They waited and waited and ultimately decided no more waiting make the next fight with heavyweight with the heavyweight belt vacant. Do your research and do diligence.
@@michaelvargas9232 If it is DW talking, I'm taking that with a huge grain of salt and so should you sir.
@Michael Vargas Jon Jones was at odds with Dana for the exact same reason Ngannou was. So my point still stands if anything Jon should've been supporting Francis decision to stand on his worth and step away, but instead, he wants to act like he was scared. That's bullshit.
@@BLee09 yup. ngannou said jones has multiple personalities and he is correct.
The TRUE CHAMP!! FRANCIS!!!
For someone who doesn't know English too well, He really be dropping wisdom in English
He speaks better English than a lot of Americans.
Uh
Francis you are the best
He has best outlook on life grateful man like him as champion
"Depends on the JJ that shows up" This is such a true statement...If we see the Jon we saw in his last few fights, Gane will demoilish him. If old school JJ shows up, then it will be a much more difficult fight to call
Thing is he’s 35 so I’d be very surprised if old school Jon jones shows up, but I hope he does
Jones only got better. This will be a Finnish for Jones.
@@investornabil8825 we don’t know that yet, because he’s been out for 3 years in his 30s which can be bad
Jones finished him 1st round I think it's fair to say the g.o.a.t is back
@@investornabil8825 you were right
As a fan it sucks he's not fighting Jones but Francis sees how the business operates and seems to be one of the most intelligent, mature, and humble fighters out there. He bet on himself and gained back his freedom and understands that if true change is going to be made fighters need to come together. I hope it all works out for him.
King Francis
At a point there mike was literally shaking in his boots when he asked Francis about money….. 😂😂😂
Always such a gentleman man ...
Love that guy. Freedom is priceless.
Francis is the man
Make no mistake about it, Francis has a high IQ
Honestly for a man with no school education, he's really really smart.
@@theeagle450 u don’t need school to have natural knowledge school is just a system to control and waste your time when you can do more fun things. If u think the only way to be wise with high IQ is to go to school your just e puppet to the system.
Francis seems relaxed, fresh, jolly, and happy. If more ufc stars follow his principles, the ufc would not have such stranglehold on their fighters. It’s a shame. I wish him all the best going forward. Will be following him closely.
MANNNNN WE COULD VE SEEN THIS MONSTER VS THE GOAT IM ACTUALLY EXTREMELY PISSED
The only fighter in UFC history to fire Dana White!! Africans are proud of you, Son of Batie, Cameron.
Not all africans, the north african berber and arabs are not to supportive. They like Khabib and Islam
No one cares about them.
Perfect response here… 2:07
Francis is such a KING 10X the man Jon Jones is.
Stop the cap !!
@@waundomccray2737sand mine work growin up is rough as shit 😂
@@user-Tripleggggggg Go kick a can you bum !!
great interview!
Deontay vs Francis made me palpate my heart 🫀
Such an Amazing guy Francis is!!!🎉😊
Spoiled fighter.
I love Francis but deep down inside he knows the best and baddest modern fighters are in the UFC
I mean he is not against the fighters. But the system. And not just talk he conquered the challenge as heavy weight champ that way, no one will say he only called out the poor management because he did not win.
Love Francis, can't wait to see what the king does next
Not a king; just UFC's spoiled child.
@@princemakaida9515 and what have u done? Cut it out lmao kid
@@chefzzz2102 He has done more than you. Get out of the sofa and go for a walk once in a while.
@@Dare-Knight thanks for solidifying my point.
@@princemakaida9515 just imagine, your boss calls you a spoiled child for wanting more raise. Ignorance is bliss
As a man who is used to being screwed over his whole life I really can't blame Francis for having the mentality he does.
the true champ. Ciryl and Jones are fighting for second best
LOL. Are you serious? You have no concept of combat sports posting that hogwash
@Brian Smith heres brian the company man that believes the ufc always fields the best vs the best. Sorry brian, it just aint true. The champ was there, he beat ciryl. Its a blown up unproven lhw goat vs second best hw for the title. Thats all it is. Great fight. NOT the best vs the best. Proven
@@MA-ik7ys Great response! Fighters strive to go from the UFC to Bellator, Pride, ETC......
Company man, that was an insult....so I'll impart one of my own, you don't know jack Shhhh about real fighting and the game. I was a fighter and fought local circuits. You cannot believe how hard it is to get noticed!
@@briansmith3769 you have no point. The legit HW champ was right there and dana who only pays bums to fight for free like kevin lee couldnt be bothered retaining him. Ufc likes fighters who fight for free and then they hype them up.
Good interview Mate.
Amazing human being and he is so at peace with himself and his decisions. He is so in alignment with his higher spiritual self. Maturity at it's best and a role model for us all!!!
Dana sent a message to Francis thru Jones & Gane didn't care hungry 4 title shot. If Jon beats Stipe everybody else hype will die. Plus nobody at Heavyweight a draw💯
The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the UFC…Francis “The Predator” Ngannou !!!
Francis is great ✊
This man has an incredible story. Would love to see him doing anything in combat sports
Dana paid Jon a Lil extra to throw a Lil shade
Probably cut him out a few extra lines on his desk.
The multiple personality and who he really is is a pretty tough diss lol
This is not about money, This is about Power!
Francis is an absolute beast. I would hate to see him fade away
Waiting to see him fight again! Incredible skills
Good luck Franky!!!! Love watching this big cat tangle. I look forward to big things coming down the line from him in the octagon.
Good interview Mike.
Excellent interview by Francis. He's being mature and not mad aganst the UFC or anything. I hope Jones wins and Francis decides to come back.
Francis and still !
Yep, that's accurate. BTW, a "free man" in the fight game is an unemployed man
Great interview, bro really said the system wanna divide and conquer
Jon Jones fans should be absolutely relieved this man never put him in a coma and turned him into a meme on Twitter.
Stop the cap !!
Class 👏 👏 👏 👏
Mans a tank
Frances is a very smart man! I always like his responses!
Same!
✊🏽
Lovable guy. Wish the best for him!
We love and admire Ngannou 👊total rockstar
WHat a great guy this Francis.
THIS GUY IS VERY INTELLIGENT!
Champ for life
Such a good dude
Francis is a Gentle Giant
A true champ
Francis is looking huge
I hope it all works out for him genuinely!
He has plenty of time to make a couple more fortunes without being sucked into someone's machine. Good for him.
Banger
francis is a wise dude
Straight up
Spoiled dude.
Kill it Francis. Huge things coming your way. Make that $$ and build that legacy❤
He's getting pieced up by Wilder, he has no business in boxing. Gasses out asap.
@@MMA_CAT make sure you roll through xtreme couture @ 3:30pm, when he's there, to tell him that, test his gas tank.
@@joesloan2207 I run marathons, muscles deplete your oxygen levels, they requires a lot of energy, it is facts kiddo, nice try tho
@@MMA_CAT just so proud of you, you're incredible
@@joesloan2207 thanks , we all are.
the true heavyweight champion
would love to see him come back and fight Jon. That would be a hell of a fight
This guy's soul left his body at 7:49
Counting that niga pockets
I think Jon and Dana are trying to belittle Francis. If we're being really honest that belt Jones and Gane are fighting for is like an interim. Yes, I know Francis left so the belt is vacated, but to me whoever wins that belt will have that asterisk
Definitely. Francis is the lineal Heavyweight champ: he beat Stipe who beat Werdum who beat Fedor who beat Big Nog and it goes on. Now that lineage is broken in the UFC HW division, Francis will hold it until he looses in MMA.
@@TucoRope2Tight True!!! 👍
Multi personality jones took me out 💀 lmao but damn I wanted that fight so bad but I think it's a 50% chance we see francis again but he prolly will get that boxing money real quick
pure class
Enjoy the process
One of my idol in ufc verry humble fighter francis ngannou.
Good questions
I don't get the bitterness in the comments. People are angry that he left the UFC, but still bitch about how the promotion treats various fighters.
He’s getting 8M to fight the goat. The opportunity alone to dethrone the goat is insane. He couodve got paid, got the win and a lot more clout. All the way straight to boxing That dude is scared af and only cares about $.
They are angry he was smart enough to ditch dana just like dana they wanted him to stay they are real fans just jealous type so upset he beat everyone they like and ran off into the sunset with better options They are forced to watch people below him now as ufc don't have one fighter that compares to him, they are trying to push pavolich up there but he is too basic, doesn't have the power ngannou carries either so won't work
@@JM-bx2vg ufc fighter turns boxing professional? yeah that makes sense big virgin. 🤡 can’t wait till wilder gives Frances CTE forver
@@eddievargas704 What is he scared of?
mma fans are hypocrites.
true champ !
👑👊🏾
good for him. stand up for what you believe in. make that money champ. nganu and the winner would be good to see. dana get your shhh together
Ngannou needs to come back
THE BESTTTT
They should just get some witnesses with a camera and fight on a shore at 10:00am. And make a movie out of it.
The goat ❤❤❤
2:04 lmao
Is there any chance he comes back to the UFC?
Never say never
Come back Francis
It is a win win for him. He will make a lot of money boxing Tyson Fury (the money for that one boxing match is probably worth 3 to 5 UFC fights), plus all the sponsorships... then the training will be easier (no grappling, wrestling, etc.). After that, he can go back to the UFC and they would definitely sign him since the heavyweight division is so thin. Ngannou vs. Jones or Gane again.
Francis is so cool
When he say all gas no brake. Its means crazy knockout.
I got your back 👏👍👌🏽
Yep been saying for years Jon has DID. Only reason he constantly switching personalities
He is nice guy
I think Francis is a better fit for boxing. Just imagine seeing the biggest puncher in MMA duking it out with the biggest puncher in boxing. Who tf wouldn't want to see how that turns out? Some body gonna get knocked tf out.
RESPECT! Ngannou is a champ in every way!
