Hearing Ga-no all the time was brutal
They didn't know. They were just reading and using the phonics they were used too.
You are absolutely right, that was brutal.
The disrespect
Facts yoo.....
Muppet Joe Rogan Gunnoe wtf lol
This guy Ganno is pretty good, if he keeps on working on his defense, he might beat the Champ Ngannou.
Ganno vs Lewis book it 100% gonna be a ko
@@niallheaton2724 ganno vs lewis its not gonna be a boring fight for sure
He's too small for a heavy weight. He should cut down to 205. He's gonna have a better chance there.
@Utsav Joshi 😂😂😂🐈
Put respect on his name Ngannou not ganno
Dman bro , Francis gano v Francis Ngannou would be a fire match up
Pretty sure they both left, haven't heard of Gano since this fight
Can we take a minute to appreciate Bruce for getting Ngannou’s name right
Actually he didn't get it right lol,, it's "ngannou" not "N'gannou"
@@farafyn2770yeah ok well he still did 10x better a job than Joe and the other 2 mops.
Francis has gone a long way from the beginning of his career. At first he was Gano, but he's slowly evolved into the man we all fear today, Ngannou.
Lol
😂
😎
*Patient Ngannou
😂😂😂😂
“And he’s got enormous feet is one thing I noticed..I mean he’s a big big man”
- Joe Rogannou
perfect profile picture for this quote
Joe Rogannou😂
Lmaoooo 😂😂😂
Funny because he did a doco about Bigfoot hahhaha
Not just big feet, but ridiculous long arms, almost like he's different than a human, amirite???
Commentator, fired.
Watching Ngannou walk forward towards you like he does at 12:38 is one of the scariest thing you can experience… having said that, Henrique didn’t too bad against him, the dude didn’t look intimidated one bit, little did he know what Ngannou would be today.
I WAS SAYING... yeaaa bro he's walkdown is just as intidimating as mike tyson gazing at you
Fedor-esque
Unless it's jon Jones he's walking toward.
@@sky-oq5mr Jones disappeared while Ngannou was champ and had a fight the month after he left 🤔
@@reservoirfrogs2177 Bro are you drunk? Jones only came back to fight Francis. The fight was suppose to be FOR FRANCIS! Francis was so scared, they offered him the most pay in the UFC to fight Jones and he turned it down. He vacated his belt and Jon Jones beat the guy that gave Francis the hardest fight. Francis was fighting like once a year.
Francis built different. Never seen a guy like him before in MMA with that kind of power and accuracy in both hands. Dude throws every type of punch with mad force from all angles!
Francis Ganno. World's scariest man
scary but he is not fighting so he has nobody to scare

Dominicano KLK! 💪🏽
Started as Gano.... Now he's the UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou. Let's appreciate the journey and legacy of this great man
He's a strong man
I respect your work mate because, you are pointing people at the right direction. If there's one thing I have learnt recently, it's to remain calm, especially when it comes to investments in crypto currency.Learn not to sell in panic when everything goes down and not to buy in euphoria when everything goes up. I advise you all to forget predictions and start making good profit now because feature valuation are all speculations and guesses. The market is unstable and you can't tell if it's going bullish or bearish. While myself and others are trad!n without a fear of making lose. Others are being patient for the price of skyrocket. It all depends on the pattern you follow. I was able to make 6BTC from 2.1BTC in just September from implementing with trade tips and info from Brian Carruther on Facebook Investment is one of the quickest part to financial freedom,
Why great?
@@johnpaulrichardmuller2560 a nice guy who’s the champion
He may be deadliest guy in ufc but i bet anyone would hangout with franis than cry baby conor McGregor or god fearing khabib their are some good fighters but no one ever want to hang out or friend with them on other hand francis seems like a humble dude
12:38 That walk is so predatory lol. Imagine someone that big walking towards you like that.
Lmaooo bruhh I'd jump over a helicopter if Francis Ngannou walked me down like that !!
⚡🏃♂️💨💨
~Best comment
Ikr I thought that too that other guy must have bottled it at that point lmaoo
Crazy cause as I watched him walk his opponent down like that. The thought that popped into my head was his nickname the predator is so on point
It started at 12:29 tho 😅😂 scary as shit
The way Francis just stared before delivering devastating knockout is just BEAST, man is a monster on the hunt
The real PREDATOR
Reminds me of my man kimbo slice just little bit with the power behind them hands 💪🏼🙏🏼 Kimbo slice RIP man 🙏🏼💪🏼
Francis with his old hair really does make him look like a super alien assassin brought to earth to punish us lol
congratulations, now you know where his nickname came from
Ikr he looks intimidating with that hair, hope he come back with that hair again
@@cardiocain2122 he's balding
He more like from a game character
@@Naspletan the predator
Francis skills get better and better.
And so does his English.
From needing a translator for a 2min interview to doing 2-3hr podcasts by himself.
Yeah the all around growth from him is incredible. What a story he has turned into.
that tells how hardworking he is.
Charles Oliveira: i don't need to learn english for owning the belt just one time :D
Ikr
Ngannou skill is underrated, people say ngannou who fight stipe in the second is the most skilled version of him but honestly ngannou even has skill before the second stipe fight (except the rozenstruik fight) and he also very good counter striker.
But yeah some haters (who already reply my comment) always try remind everyone about rozenstruik fight when he just wild swing without skill and ignore his other fight (when he didn't wild swing) and say his striking is poor or whatever, they always say this to ngannou and never say that to Derrick Lewis when he was the real one wild swing fighter
In very short time too
Watching these earlier fights . It's incredible how much Francis has improved . His defensive wrestling has gone through roof . He's patient and knows how to read his opponents incredibly well . He was always good now Francis great . Hey he's champ for a reason . Just watch his fights with Stipe and the improvements he's made from one battle to the next .
Even in this fight, he'd had more submission wins than KOs.. To me, I truly think his management & coaching convinced him to just stand-up & knock people's heads off.. Not smart to ignore ground skill's BUT, definitely got him noticed allot quicker.. Now we're gonna see a whole new monster ! He's gonna be slamming & smashing people like a giant African Khabib lol
@@mikefrost5481 I saw him attempt some wrestling in the second Stipe fight . He needed some serious offensive wrestling training after I saw that . Don't get me wrong even at that point he could definitely take down fighters with poor wrestling . If he turns into a graping machine great but as a fighter you always wanna do what you do best first . Then have those other tools available if things go south.
That’s really good POV, mindset is everything
Even his English improved
that was the most peaceful entrance ive ever seen
love how bruce is the true professional and pronounced his name right
To be fair that's his job. He delivers alright
@@rafapazos06 its also the commentators job
@@taxi2jehova915 but it's not the commentators only job
@@rafapazos06 he delivers better than alright in my opinion
Remember when Bruce said "with 2 wins & 9 losses" to Derrick Lewis when he was actually 9-2. Derricks expression was funny
Francis Ganno was a beast and had a lot of potential. Too bad he didn't work as much on his skills as his first cousin Francis Ngannou who became the HW champ.

Its actually beautiful to see Francis and Joe meeting for the first time and him needing a translator then 3 years later he is speaking fluent english as a sports legend, as Joes good friend.
I always liked Francis but after watching this film I have to say now I love the guy. Its true everyone has their story and we shouldn’t be afraid to tell ours, it might just give someone hope, courage, strength to keep on going knowing that once you have breathe in your lungs life is full of possibilities.
This Ganeaux guy seems like someone we should be keeping an eye on. Have a feeling he's going places.

Only Bruce Buffer pronounced Ngannou correctly in this fight.
Agree👍
He probably asked how to actually pronounce his name unlike the others
He is enlightened, that's why.
@@ChrisCurryTheGoatOnGod Bruce has only one job which is to say every name right and he'll be damned if he's first to mess it up

Exactly 😂😂
OVERHAND his face barely changed though, his hair only changed because haircut
@OVERHAND Conspiracy theorists abound here.
Didn't even know how to say his name lmao
This dude francis has one of the craziest life stories I've ever heard. It's such an inspiration to me, honestly.
Waited his moment. Not wasting energy. His reach, accuracy and power were great!

Who's here waiting for the fight with AJ?
15:00 Usually DC & Joe make the fighters talk to them first but this time Joe was like *“Sure buddy take your time”* 😂
@Just Dope F your bot account videos.
Enrique, being a wrestler with a 9" reach disadvantage, kinda gave up when he realized the ref was going to force them to box. Hard to blame him
Massive respect for him to put up a competitive fight with this savage beast that we know today as the heavyweight champion of the world.
@@yourdaddy.956 I totally agree. Was just pointing out the fight would've been much more competitive or even possibly went the other way if they had a different ref
@@scottoshea9440 I also agree with you & your comment, you're awesome.
They shouldn’t have stopped it when Enrique had half gaurd on top, you can deal a lot of damage from that position... grappling is methodical and takes time he could have secure mount or a sub from there
@@ShawShank-kr9wq agreed. Officiating seemed suspicious. Reminded me of when EliteXC paid Petruzelli to keep the fight standing against Kimbo Slice. Except in this case it would be the ref
After fight check-up:
Fighter: "How am I doc?"
Doctor: "Well, remember how your skull used to be attached to your spine?"
Holy shit Gano made his debut at 29? That's ancient, makes his growth and rise to champ all that much more amazing
20's is ancient to you? Some sports fans are more brainwashed about age and athletics than I thought. It's better that he started then. He's gets to start his career at an age when he's stronger and doesn't have the amount of wear and tear other fighters have by then so he gets to be even better when he's at a fighters best fighting years (30's)
He was still young.
@@deleting.chanel he's getting up there 35 now about 3 more years. Daniel cormier didn't train striking till 31
@@deleting.chanel What are you talking about your body naturally wears down soon after you hit 30. All starting late does is slow down your career and give you less time to compete. Starting and building your skills younger rather than someone who started at 30 means you’ll be a better fighter this is common sense.
@@NoName-rm3db naturally aging and getting punched in the head for 10 years in your early 20s is completely different
Francis has come such a long way, very happy for him to win the belt.
@OVERHAND stfu go hate somewhere else
@@sluggak1363 he’s not hating more of an observation little man
@OVERHAND I don't really notice it, He doesn't seem crazy shredded tho might just be genetics
@@seanc7990 not even genetics!! If you see the kind of hard labor some people do here to make a living you will understand better. It's not uncommon to see shredded guys like that over here in Cameroon
Irrelevant observation
The only way for commentators to correctly pronounce your name is to start winning
That’s a fact
lmao
Unless you're TYRONE Woodley .. he's TYRONE forever
@Ivey 96 exactly bro and it's cause he's black and Tyrone is a black name . The way it's really pronounced is Unique It's an easy name to remember . Mf Dana white still calls him TYRONE
Wonder how many names they butchered before becoming stars
4:22 the strength on this man, keeping a grappler hands in place as a striker is impressive
Ganno is a specimen of a human wow I can see this guy going far in the sport of mma and being UFC CHAMPION in the not to near future for sure and him fighting Francis would be a banger of a fight
Dirty fighter
I think its scarier at the start of his career. People didn’t know his power because he was fairly unknown, a lot of bad surprises 😂!
@keep rollin thank you for that :).
@@bonk4225 That’s exactly what I thought… Or maybe I meant this heavyweight is the hardest hitting human being in recorded history… Could be the second!
@@bonk4225 lol. Not all huge guys hit as hard as Francis though. Besides its heavyweight vs heavyweight
@@bonk4225 yes, but they don't hit as hard harder than Francis
Man literally has the record for the strongest punch
Heavyweights tend to eat a lot of shots compared to lighter divisions
If someone like Mark Hunt decided to fight him at his debut, best believe his legendary chin will get cracked to pieces due to him Anderson Silvaing Francis like he does with his other opponents
They didn't even know how to pronounce his name.
15:09 nice show of class by Gano
LoL!
Props to Buffer for doing his homework on the pronunciation.
@@yellow1one Clearly the desk doesnt listen to Buffer making his announcement
Great show of class after murdering the guy with a hammer fist after he was clearly out.
I was looking for this comment, as soon as i heard them keep saying Gano!
Gano evolution to NGanou was great. A very intelligent fighter not just on the cage, he also learns to speak English that fast.

Add "getting punched in the neck by Francis Ngannou" to my list of irrational fears.
Hello brothers
I woudnt call it irrational
That uppercut was nasty asf!!!
Yeah that was tough .
Understandable, have a great day.
I love how he ignores rogan at the end to check his Opponent and Joe gets kinda scared for a second when he turns around and looks at hin
Was not expecting him to sleep him like that. Dudes been a beast since he entered the UFC most feared man in the octagon Forsure
That finishing sequence where he went left hook right uppercut a couple times, then came thru with the left uppercut. Just beautifully brutal
One of the most terrific K.O i have seen!

Isn't it incredible how Francis learn English so fast? At this time he neither hear nor speak English but look at him today. A true champion in all.
Improving his English and knocking dudes on they ass while doing it lol real champ indeed 😂
Also he learnt franchese so quick
Francis comes from Cameroun. In Cameroun they speak english and french
Yep doing it so well as an adult, impressive.
What do you mean? This guy learns idioms before alphabets.
Francis doesn’t get credit for how technically perfect his uppercuts are, not easy to do, he ain’t just power
Ikr
He has skill (except the rozenstruik fight),but of course haters would only remember the rozenstruik fight and calling him no skill
@@cardiocain2122 he said he didn’t want to be there that day and opted to finish that quickly
@@cardiocain2122 yeah man he has incredible boxing
@@cardiocain2122 I get what you said but I think he was technical in that fight coz that worked for him. He destroyed rozenstruik in seconds. That ain't just swinging, he knows what he's doing. Because, whoever says ngannou was terrible in that fight, gets knocked out by rozenstruik even faster.
Gane is the new King and is much better than francis
Perfect form that strike that is actually terrifying in slow motion lol.
Who’s here before Francis vs Tyson fury fight
I’m here
Francis walking him down at 12:36 is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.
terrifying
That was gangsta he just walked up looking right into his eyes. Combinations and it's over so cool I swear
I’m glad to see they starting saying Francis name correctly after this fight.
Because you will sleep if you don't say it right

*immediately rushes to hammerfist unconscious opponent*
What a guy!
internet simps: "omg ganoou has the best sportsmanship evar! just love his respect and hardwork!!"
I don't even care about how brutal that was. Nobody is talking about how TERRIBLE of a ref that is. He made sure Ngannou would win because of his size and reach. He made sure it was kickboxing. Horrible fight.

You're new to this sport... Holding has a specific time window.
After that, the ref have to separate the fighters again.

Gan no’s theme was epic, almost like revealing something unbelievable to the world.
The only fighter in history who can intimidate you before the fight starts lol. His blessed with those power 👊 and still very down to earth guy.
This card was one of the best. Kamaru Usman had his 1st fight after TUF, Luque was also fighting on this card, Charles Oliveira too. Francis Ngannou and Valentina Shevchenko made their debut on this card too.

You just got to love Francis’s walk out music, after everything he’s been thru to get to the UFC #respect
Yeah, pretty disrespectful to the song
@@notme3686 Yo what's the song bro?
What is it? I know I've heard it before
It's Scottish music from the movie braveheart
@Kevin Forrest thank you. So it's not "Scottish" music then. It was written by James Horner for the film and performed by Enya. And it also seems like Horner ripped it off from a Japanese anime. czcams.com/video/9R1fLHw0XT0/video.html.
So the guy saying it's disrespectful is just ignorant and racist.
I would like to see Francis continue to evolve his submissions game. His freakish knockout power, athleticism, good speed at least for awhile would be best complimented by really mastering the guillotine, kimura and straight arm lock, crucifix, arm triangle. Master a few is better than mediocre at a dozen. Just the knowledge that he might try to take you down and that he can lock up a sub changes the fight calculus ten fold. He could also take something off his punches 75% of his power adds up very quickly and allows him to go longer and have power in reserve after he sets up his shot. I saw him throw leg kick against Stipe in the 2nd fight and he threw it and it looked like a ball bat hit Stipes leg. A thud. Its amazing that a man can even take that and still be standing much less fight back. Stipe is a tough sob but I do believe his day is over. He is really a 205 lb guy who doesnt want to cut weight. Many of the 205 are as big or bigger than Stipe between fights. It's a very good fight for Jones and for Stipe money wise but probably his last one but you never know he definetly could light Jon up and knock him out. DC and Jon at heavyweight would be one I would have liked to have seen. Jon vs Francis or Cyril Gane are dangerous fights for him and real heavyweights. Francis could go along time he has all the tools or the ability to learn them to competence and a chin like granite. He is what you would make on a video game as your perfect fighter size, strength, toughness etc.
Rolls in the octagon to Braveheart music!! Dope!
Francis has more muscle in his feet than I have on my entire body.

Sure… this guy did better than anyone against Ngannou in ufc other than stipe lol

Back when Francis was really known being called “The Predator” he’s come so far since then!
He looked like the predator then
Watching great fighters in the early stages is fascinating. Their opponents aren't as intimidated as they are now. It proves that the mindset in fighting is as important as the skill set. Still ended badly, but dude wasn't scared of Francis.
And he actually lasted longer than almost all Ngannous opponents... 90 %of Ngannou fights end in the 1st round.... This guy took the fight to him... You right mindset is so important
Kind of annoying how the only person we hear twice in this match is the only person who pronounced his name correctly. Don't these commentators study pronunciations?
Whos here after Fury fight? :D
woooooo!
As soon as Henrique started breathing hard you could see the aggression leave him. If you gas-out against Ngannou, you’re in deep shit! Those are two massive dudes! A landed punch from either one and it’s lights-outs!
In his defense, the ref breaking them up really shit on his whole parade
I remember when I watched this live and I just thought that Francis would be a star at the heavyweight. Another reason why you don't have to miss the prelims
francis appeared to consistently more success in exchanging strikes on the feet and avoided the worst of luis's offense on the ground., although luis did seem to be establishing a more powerful halfguard and made good attepmts to press francis in the clinch, but his efforts didn't seem to be paying off cardiovascular-wise. francis looked big when he was up against the fence.
outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes, greatest walkout music choice ever.
12:38 Francis lived up to his name "the predator" approaching slowly like no escaping
I mean that’s G’Know you’re talking about here
A heavy weight with that much power throwing like a 6-8 piece combo is just crazy
Bro it's damn crazy that guy he is powerful and fast
What’s equally impressive is his come up on the English language. Brother salute from Ambazonia. Douala on the anglophone side.
Francis hits heavy and Luis is good at taking people to the floor. I loved this fight
