God bless this man for everything he’s been through. He is the strongest man I’ve ever witnessed and I hope he can live the rest of his life without anymore serious tragedies he doesn’t deserve to be in so much pain. He looks a bit lightened up here maybe he feels vindicated winning in his sons honor I hope he can find his jolly side again.
@@FalconMidget Does a God need to be labeled as a specific God? Considering that we are made from space dust (zinc, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, copper, iron, etc.) that has become self-aware and conscious entities in this universe, there is more evidence for the existence of consciousness than there NOT being consciousness. It would be foolish to think that consciousness only dwells inside our small calcium carbonate skulls. Why would someone think that? Why would they think that we are the only form of consciousness? How do you know the universe itself isn't essentially conscious like a bacteria living inside someone's brain (not realizing all the chemical and electrical impulses from the neurons around it are part of a network that is conscious). I think there is more evidence for a higher consciousness than nothing at all... simply because we are conscious intelligence... I doubt it stops at our level.
Francis, what type of question is this 😂 did u not hear the thud on those punches. After fighting khabib you're tired for the night or just waking up from being chocked but after fighting ngannou you have a concussion a swollen face and you probably can't remember what happened after you took the first clean hit ijs
Khabib would destroy me despite me having 50 pounds on him.. but Francis hitting Overeem.. I think that's far more "terrifying", you might not wake up from that kind of power.
I'm thrilled for you, Francis. Congratulations on your win! Your tenacity, courage, and willpower are truly inspiring. Now, it feels like the perfect moment for Ngannou vs. Jon Jones. Who's going to make this happen?
Would like to see Francis come back to boxing and try a top 15 opponent. I think he was unprepared for that very late AM Joshua fight. He can fight again imo.
Francis and Usyk are the heavyweight champions we need right now along with Aspinall as well, and not the other clowns. People gotta appreciate the way boxing and PFL has tried to promote Francis instead of neglecting it, which is basically what the UFC did. Anyway, awesome to see his MMA comeback as fireworks considering all the emotional problems...
Dana would never greenlight Francis against one of his guys when he's competing for a rival promotion. He's the biggest roadblock in this whole equation.
If he gets involved, this fight (JonesNgannou) can happen for sure i guess. You know who i meant. Money can change any dispute in the sport and make them work together.
Francis will be the heavyweight king for a very long time that is if he doesn't retire soon!! The remaining fighters ngannou is left to fight are Valentin Moldavsky next and Delija later whom Francis would obviously dominate. There is a fighter by the name of Anatoly malykhin who's the one and only three division champion in MMA he has been interstated to fight Francis but he fights in different fight league so may be he could move to pfl to fight Francis that fight would be amazing fight
Jones terrified to fight someone where he doesn't have an advantage. They either need to be smaller than him like Shogun, Chael, Rashad, Belfort and Machida, older than him like DC and Stipe, or have 0 grappling like Ciryl Gane. Jones lost to Dominick Reyes and went to decision with Anthony Smith. He ducked Ngannou for 3 years and now he's ducking Aspinall.
@@mxbblife_mulol you really started following this sport yesterday?Jones stalled negotiation against Francis for 3 years..Francis recently confronted him and was saying “he wanted to get to a big enough size to fight Francis”Jones plays it safe and doesn’t want to fight when the odds are fair,I hope stipe pulls the upset even though I don’t see it happening,but I hope he does
@@Richy97zs Sounds like you just became a MMA fan🤔 how the hell can Jones stall Ngannou's UFC contract negotiation ??? Yes Jones took a couple years to bulk up the right way like you're supposed to do. After 2 years Jones was ready but Ngannou still hasn't Re-signed his contract, it literally had nothing to do with Jones.... Go do some Research before you talk nonsense again.
If Dana doesn’t make this fight he’s pathetic. The PFL is down for it. UFC is not down. What are they afraid of? Oh wait… because Jones would be knocked out COLD
@@mxbblife_mu his defense was good at lower weight class but at heavyweight this ain't the same thing. Even though he won his fight against Gane he was very slow and wanted to go to the ground so bad.
@@FM19964 Jones was quick enough against Gane to not get hit and land the only punch to their opponent's face 🤣Yeah of course He wanted to go to the ground so bad, Wrestling is Jones' Strongest Skill... And 95% of Heavyweights can't Wrestle well. That's how smaller Heavyweights with great Grappling like DC, Velasquez, Randy Couture, Stipe, Fedor, Bader, Almeida etc Dominated the HW division for a while.
Francis Ngannou, the golden can in boxing padding the real stars’s records, and the golden can crusher himself in the PFL, a dying fight promotion that won’t see past 2026. What a legendary career he’s almost done with. Hope all the money he made lasts him a few generations and he doesn’t blow it like a lot of them do.
Mutually respectful comments even at the end of the comment weren't harsh but true reality for most fighters. MMA In general needs competition as a whole and has unification for promotion to prove themselves. Like most teams to Leagues, franchises. Rivals for the sport make it a better sport overall.
Aspinall tapped like a mouse against Stuart Austin. While Renan took out Stuart Austin with just one punch. Stop mentioning that overhyped English fighter
Lineal MMA champion is not the same as Lineal UFC champion... it's actually Lineal UFC champion. Big difference that most media/journalists are bending the truth a little bit.
What is the difference. Modern lineal champions like formerly Kyoji Horiguchi rizin x bellator unified the belts? Or when Quinton Jackson unified UFC and Pride fc belt against Dan Henderson In UFC. Francis left as a champion and got the pfl belt only way to be undisputed win against the UFC championship belt as pfl champion to unify and become undisputed Lineal MMA champion. I think modern lineal MMA championships is only if two promotions jointly collaborate and have both champions unify the belts. The only reason I don't think when UFC did it, they bought out strikeforce pride and they merged the division. So in a relevant sense lose its prestigiousness.

So happy for Francis, what an inspiration.
Didn’t know Francis was this humble, love this guy ❤
Arial talks with Francis after every big moment in his career and life! Incredible interview!
This man is a living legend and super inspirational.
"Actually fighting doesn't make us that tough"..
Coming from Francis.. that is a powerful statement.
Only Turki can make Ngannou vs Jones happen
And they just might....they just might. That is also why Jon wants to "retire" so bad. It's to end his contract and go to middle east probably
Rather see Francis vs Tom tbh.
Reyes already beat Jones
Even Turki can't get Dana to allow it. He does not want his champion being beat by someone in another promotion. They will never ever take the risk. There is no upside
Only Dana can make it happen.
Jones doesn't deserve that much money because he's a bad person

Francis has the mental game down

Francis has so much pressure in this fight, not just his son koby, the mma community but especially the PFL organization.

Thank you Ariel , nice interview with ngannou❤
The real MMA movie people need to see. “Le Predateur” !!.. Rip Kobe.
Who's more terrifying? Francis fighting for the loss of his son, or Khabib fighting for the loss of his father? 🤔

After fighting khabib you're tired for the night or just waking up from being chocked but after fighting ngannou you have a concussion a swollen face and you probably can't remember what happened after you took the first clean hit ijs
I would say Francis because he does real damage when he hits you. You might not wake up til the seats are empty👀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Khabib would destroy me despite me having 50 pounds on him.. but Francis hitting Overeem.. I think that's far more "terrifying", you might not wake up from that kind of power.
A parent should never bury a child
They should really make a movie about this guy life
We need to sort this all out between Francis, Jones, and Aspinal
And Alex Pereira, who I'm sure could go toe to toe with most heavyweights in the world. Dude walks around at 235/240 lbs, same as Jones.
I'm thrilled for you, Francis. Congratulations on your win! Your tenacity, courage, and willpower are truly inspiring. Now, it feels like the perfect moment for Ngannou vs. Jon Jones. Who's going to make this happen?

It was a privledge to fight on the same day as him in Australia
