Francis Ngannou (born 5 September 1986) is a French professional mixed martial artist competing in the Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of As July 14, 2020, he is ranked #15 in UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings and #2 in the UFC heavyweight rankings. - Wiki - Sport
"I bet that I am happier than you" and "I have had a good life" - a homeless illegal immigrant who has had a harder life than most will ever know.
Makes my inner complainer shrink, what a guy.
A movie has to be made about this guy.
White guilt
@@rankalucard3960 More like lazy guilt lol. Race ain't a factor in my complaining.
@@rankalucard3960 Nah Francis went through the ringer. Now if this was an african american i would agree.
@@iliftthingsupandputthemdow4364 That's even more racist
He didn't come to Paris expecting heaven on Earth. He doesn't believe that such a place even exists. He simply wanted the opportunity to do something for himself and then prove himself. Great mentality.
@J ronnn Eh, in a sense. For an African, the difference in temperature and climate is already a big shock (and can be fairly dangerous health-wise). Paris is also overloaded with immigrants, legal or not, and the support systems put in place to help these people are struggling to keep up. Many get 0 help. And in a country with an unemployment rate of 10% where people with a Master's degree struggle to find a job getting one as a non-citizen with no official proof of identification is almost impossible. It's more complicated than Cameroon (poor country) < France (rich country)
@J ronnn no one claimed its their responsibility but to suggest that arriving in France is perfect and and it can't possibly get worse is a shortsighted, it's not so simple to go to crowded homeless shelters or over saturated food banks
@J ronnn Not true. There are wealthy people in Cameroon and impoverished people in Paris. Obviously France is a much wealthier country but simply living in a wealthy country does not guarantee that your life will be easy. You have better opportunities in general but you still have to apply yourself.
@J ronnn Illegal immigrants don't get welfare, nor are they threatening anyone's job prospects.
Unfortunately I've been to Paris 🤢🤢God help you if you go to Paris thinking you'll find heaven 🥺🥺
This is one of the most inspirational stories I’ve ever heard. Wow.
What an inspiration this man is. It should inspire others to make tomorrow better than today.
Tell me about it, after everything he went through to get to France he finally had a roof over his head but gave it up to avoid the negativity of hopeless men and preferred to be alone with his own ambitions. My mind is blown.
Beautifully narrated as well! The quality of this video/content made me feel like I was watching a whole ass movie about Francis. Such a deep story, I’m glad he made it through every thing and earned so much from his journey!
100%%%
If its real. Francis could be an actor from France.
From leaving Cameroon to crossing a whole continent to being dumped 6 times in the Sahara desert and making it to the forest just to try cross the Mediterranean on a dinghy. He left the homeless shelter just so he can live free and get to carry out his dream.
What a legend.
Ngannou is a true inspiration. This video is the reason I'll never quit.
Hope they make his life a movie
Do one on Yoel Romero , he was a thief at 12 years old and been through hell too
Also he never for gey jesus, i lowe Yoel!
yes, the peoples champ!
Please
AND DONT FORGET “Heeeeee looooooooooooooovvve jewwww!!”
Hard to do one when there's no other personal life interviews of Yoel other than Rogan's podcast.
And people thought losing to Stipe would break Francis. One look at this guy's life tells you why he's such an animal.
How did his next fight go? Him and Derrick Lewis. He coming back now fr
It damaged him for awhile, he even said so. He came back though.
It's only brain dead folks that think everyone can break like their low self esteemed, weak mindset
He was broken after 2 rounds. He is a big bum.
@@bohrora2293 Ah yes, we have one of them right here. How's your mums basement treating you?
Ngannou's words about using his father as a role-model to know what *not* to do in life resonates with me. This man has the potential to create a lot of good changes in this world, and it's great to see his journey being documented like that. Shows that no trial is too great to overcome
What kind of Dad did you have? My father was a Drug addicted abusive piece of shit, and continues to live on the streets spending disability money on dope and preying on women. I'm always interested in talking to other guys with daddy issues
Anyone that can't appreciate success stories of survival is out of touch with humanity...There appear to be basic instincts and or lessons passed on...Now that he is making his mark in America it is important to keep his guard up...He is making political stands he quite doesn't understand about the American landscape...He has to avoid being used...
When I heard Ngannou say that, I was like "YES! THAT!"
My dad was a negligent, abusive drug addict, definitely used him as a model of what not to do.
@@marcgottlieb9579 I wonder what will happen to Cameroon if all it's most talented, disciplined and driven children keep leaving?
I only wish Dana White would give this man the opportunity he has more than re-earned to fulfil his destiny.
"Im not expecting that there is a heaven in this world, but i can build my own. Im going to build my own."
Beautiful quote coming from him in particular.
Holy shit. I was literally just rewatching the first Francis video, half way through. The timing is smoother than a GSP Jab to takedown
Same
That's very smooth indeed
If Francis becomes Champion, they should make a movie about him. What an incredible story. This isn't a rags to riches, it's a third world poverty stricken to first world celebrity millionaire record holder.
Even if he doesn't become a champion. He deserves it.
Record holder?
If stipe wasn’t my favorite fighter, I’d want him to become champ. But if there is anyone I want to see take the belt from stipe-it’s this man. DC can kick rocks
@@mpforeverunlimited hardest recorded punch
@@drewhunt7508 that's just because no boxer has hit it
MixedMollyWhoppery, you are my favorite channel but you surpassed your already rediculously high standards with these last two videos. Seriously you need an award for this and Francis needs at least 1000 awards. There's no doubt in my mind he'll be the champ sometime soon.
@J ronnn Brother- how you can watch an inspirational video like this about a man pushing away all negativity and talk like that. I hope you take another look at the video man and get inspired. theres no need for negativity and dragging people down in this world. please learn from Francis like everyone should try and do and break through it and conquer. Make negativity your bitch, dont use it.
The cool thing about Ngannou is that he doesn't need to be champion to be happy.
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc Hes already a champion. Hes been through more than the rest.
Seriously, the amount of research and time these must take to produce.. and then edit and format and all that. This dude should be getting paid for these videos
Power is the last thing that goes. Seems almost inevitable he will be champ at some point especially with dc ans stipe in their late 30s early 40s and the only other major future champ contender is blaydes who he beat twice already
You my friend are a modern day mozart with your vids bravo!!
Might be a little overboard 😂 Mozart is one of the greatest creative geniuses in history.
He's a musical genius?
For real
These vids hard but relax
I don't play an instrument but i know that a youtube producer should not be in the same sentence as Mozart lol
I guess Francis’ story makes my frustration with overcooked waffles this mornining slighly less frustrating. Jokes aside, I after all this I will be rooting for Nganou even if he faces my father in the next fight. The guy deserves everything
Who's your dad, Stipe?
And with one 22 minute video, Molly made me respect Ngannou after 4 years of me hating on him..lol. This channel is great at highlighting the admirable characteristics of fighters and getting us to relate to them on a human level and then root for them on a professional level. Great work as always.
@@d.r.656 yeah, but just take it into account that because of this channel, his eyes are now open. And, he had the balls to admit that he was blinded.
What did you have against Francis
@@mpforeverunlimited I didnt like all the hype. He just seemed like a big and unskilled guy who got his KO's by swunging wildly and hoping for the best. I just didnt buy into the hype.
This is perhaps the greatest motivational video on CZcams. Francis literally had nothing. The path this man took just for an equal chance at his dreams is bone chilling. No one in their right mind would go through all that and that is what makes this so special. 99.9% of people would have gave up but Francis was the 0.01% that did not. He was happier than he ever was in his path out of hell. If Ngannou's story doesn't give you hope and inspiration to follow your dreams and become great then I do not know what will. Thank you for doing what you do MMW. You may not get the mainstream support you deserve but you are the underground king of MMA content. We need someone to share the stories of these legends.
Man, Francis is such a gentle giant. He always comes across in interviews as a thoughtful peaceful character. A kind soul. Unless you happen to have the bad luck to locked into a fenced of arena with him. I hope he gets to have his dream come true.
6 times crossing the border, there are things in my life I think I’ve given up on after 2 tries
When Francis retires after hopefully going down as the greatest heavyweight of all time and maybe becoming a boxing champion too they need to make a movie or book about his journey.
Honestly I don’t think he’ll become a boxing champion, he can definitely become UFC champ though which is more than enough, once Cormier retires and depending on how the trilogy fight with stipe goes we could see a rematch between Francis and stipe I think it’s inevitable
@@lwp7306 i think he will retire after getting UFC belt, retire from MMA and he will go to boxing.. I mean its his dream all along and as we saw here, Francis goes all the way chasing his dreams
He'd get schooled against elite boxers but once Stipe retires hell be hw champion for sure.
muddy.essential definitely mate I’d love to see him as champ 👍
I admired the guy's physical power but now I'm in awe of his unbelievable spirit. Francis Ngannou is a true man's man.
Of all the fighters on the UFC roster, Francis is the one I want to meet the most. Tbh after watching those videos I want to hug him and tell him he is an inspiration and a role model. His story is unreal and what sets it apart is that he didn’t get to where he is by chance but by willpower alone.
i feel dirty for ever pitying myself after watching this.
This is literally a superhero origin story
He’s a tough dude. He’s had malaria 8-9 times and got over it with no medicine. He also had either Hepatitis B or C and got over it with no medicine. The people of West Africa (that survive) probably have the toughest immune systems on Earth
Cycle cell cones from there it's a natural resistance to malaria, you think he has it?
@Mr. A. Knight Well sure they have weaker immune systems per say, but they have evolved an adapted to be less likely to die from them as well. Hence cycle cell disease, it may cause anemia and lower oxygen in the blood but it can also fight off malaria. Everyone else would probably die with out medication.
@Mr. A. Knight I'm going to have to disagree. Sub saharan Africans have very resistant immune systems. They are not more vulnerable to diseases..the problem, is that they lack the resources (Medicine, Education, Sanitation etc..) to improve their health systems.
Fasting
That's how it works ,either u survive and get stronger or die.
You dropped this .... 👑
Walked two hours to school (cardio), worked in a sand mine (full body workout), didn't eat in the morning had to leave school to eat because he was too hungry (diet), took the migrant road through the Sarah to get to Europe (determination, strong mindset)...he was made for this and he will be champion in march 2021!
You were right 💪🏾💪🏾
the joe rogan mindset!!
Francis' story should be awarded, the guy needs a place in the hall of fame, a statue and much more.
this is shaping up to be a legendary series.
The world spat on him. But instead of giving into despair, he forged on ahead, never looking back and even crawling through the earth if he had to. Through sheer determination, he built an iron forged will from misery and hopelessness.
Just unbelievable. I remember when Francis fought Stipe for the title and I was rooting for Stipe. Because until this video, Francis was a beast. He was a monster. I saw him knock Overeem the fuck out and was like damn, this guy is scarry. Now after watching this I am so deeply moved that I can't wait to cheer for him at the next fight. Thanks so much for telling this story. Very good. Bravo.
I want this man to get the gold more than anyone I've ever seen
i love inspirational stories like these. i was in a real dark place for a while. depressed, drinking every day and feeling hopeless. i got so sick of living that way and knew i needed to change. i quit drinking, went back to BJJ and started working out again. that was only 3 months ago and in that short time things have gotten much better mentally and physically. looking forward to see where im at in another 3 months if i keep doing the right things.
Such a beautiful human being Francis is, we can all learn a lot from him. Amazing work as always.
If Francis was fluent in English he would be a damn philosopher or a motivational speaker at least. The guy has many great insights. I didn't know he had such depth of character prior to this series. Very interesting dude.
That could be a great option post career.
'Pain is learning, condensed'
We don't really need more motivational speakers in the world...
Experience brings insight, and people who go through incredibly negative experiences often develop quite a bit of empathy for others. Empathy and understanding combined comes off as quite insightful, and is what Francis seems to show here. I think the thing people miss about Francis is how different his experiences in life are compared to ours, his upbringing, his escape from Africa, and his eventual journey to the UFC aren't even relatable for most other professional fighters, let alone us.
I used to think he was rather shallow too, he comes across as a quiet, hulking individual who beats people down with brute strength and seems to lack the skill expression and confidence of other fighters. Then I learned that he didn't know English (at least only very basic English), had only been training for 2 years or so, and hadn't even arrived in the west until slightly before then.
HE S[PEAKS WELL DUDE.
He's very fluent right now. His English has improved drastically
Agreed. Francis is an incredible human being. Amazing job as always
I think Francis has all the tools to beat Stipe in a potential rematch. He's grown a great deal.
He will absolutely dominate Stipe. First fight he was a boxer who didn't take stipe seriously. Now he's a full blown mma practitioner. Way better cardio, technique and game plan. He ran through everyone since Derrick. People say Cain wasn't his old self but we don't know. Ngannou flash KOd him. Same with Junior. Stipe couldn't even finish an out of shape inexperienced pure boxing ngannou. Can't wait for the fight.
stipe is a girl see what DC did to him
ok champ, so Stipe just stayed the same and Ngannou can now win? whatever...
@@NannupTiger did u watch the video?
Before watching: Mixed Molly is doing another video on Francis again?
After watching: Francis can have 100 videos, as a matter of fact, I don’t need to see a video from Mixed Molly about anyone else ever again. 💯
Absolutely what I need to watch every morning before the day starts.
That was so inspirational.
And my lazy ass bitching about losing a job due to Covid-19. Shame on me.
Thanks Molly Whoppery
lol Snap! same thing. Feel the same way now.
Hardship is relative man, there is always someone worse off than you, no matter how hard your life seems. The same goes for Francis, but it is regardless impressive what he has achieved in spite of the hardship he faced.
It isn't weak or lazy to be upset that you lost your income due to incompetent leadership who haven't managed to support people who actually need it during this time. If this motivates you to try another avenue, that's excellent, but life in the Western hemisphere can still be pretty shit, it's just not as shitty as elsewhere. Many people commenting use this to put down others problems ("if FN can become a profighter from a third-world country noone can complain just because they are being exploited by corporate fatcats" etc), when those problems still hurt people and need to be fixed in some way.
No child should be forced to have to experience what Francis did, but at the same time you shouldn't have to lose your income (especially if you were employed by somewhere about to receive another juicy tax break). They aren't equal, but neither should happen (and I don't think we can fix anything elsewhere until we fix our own homes anyway).
keep your head up man. I'm really sorry that happened to you and I know you'll pull through. from your comment it seems like you have a good mentality about it. please don't feel bad if you do struggle at times. like a comment said in here it's all relative. struggle is struggle but I know you've got this in the bag. best of luck to you brother.
I genuinely get the sense that he’s one of the sweetest souls in the UFC
I could not imagine the level of desperation he's overcome... And to be a stones throw from being a world champion fighter... Talk about immigrant mentality.
I c what u did there.
One of the most amazing stories told in the most amazing way. @MixedMollyWhoppery you're a real GOAT for losing all your content on HDD and coming back better than ever despite the drawback. You yourself live the narrative of overcoming hardships and obstacles with big heart you tell about other people. With all respect and love 🙌🏼 Never change, my man.
Our Boy did it Molly!
🙌🙌🙌
This is by far the best channel on youtube. Period. Love your work man you are head and shoulders above anyone else in terms of content and easily the best narration.
This video should have ten times the amount of views. Just rewatched it and still one of the best things I’ve ever watched
Couldn't be happier for him. And providing hope for kids and people all over Cameroon and Africa. So much respect for this man
You’re one of the most talented video makers on the platform. I see one of your videos in my inbox and I know that I’m gonna enjoy it without even looking at the title. Keep it up my guy
The Cameroonian Nightmare
Gotta love Francis. I can't wait to see him be champ one day.
That’s probably one of the best videos I’ve ever watched.
I hope Francis Ngannou ends up being incredibly successful in this profession, he deserves it and certainly has the natural talent. I also hope him sharing his experiences and his knowledge will lead to change for other people who may have come from, or are now enduring, similar circumstances.
People should not have to live in those conditions when we have the resources, technology, and knowledge to change it.
It's quite sobering to think of how much talent we may have lost in people who didn't manage to make it through, how many Francis Ngannou's or Srinivasa Ramanujan's have we lost to similar conditions.
Absolutely unreal. I need to get on camera before I lose this
I was just thinking "I wonder what Jesse thinks about this" then I see your comment lol
Aaron Malone maybe tonight. Going live during the day is much harder than knocking a video out
Dana White if you’ve watched my reality show...you know exactly how I feel about this.
Looking forward to your next video!
Jesse ON FIRE i haven’t to be fair, I discovered your channel about a week or two ago and was instantly hooked on your content. I’ll have some catching up to do
This was outstanding. Thank you for this. MixedMollyWhoppery has always been one of my favorites. The comedic part has always been excellent but this was just great. And with a few little drops of comedy mixed in. Cheers everyone. ✌️❤️
I practically never comment on CZcams but this was just amazing...
You are an artist in every sense if the world, please keep doing what you’re doing, you bring so much to a lot of people
As for Francis, that guy is just a mythological hero. It’s unbelievable how much power and determination he has. This has truly inspired me.
This brought a tear to my eye, and now Francis is my favorite fighter. I liked him a lot before, but this story put him over the top. Great work as always MMW!
Francis story is unbelievable, just that I want to know what happened after the Stipe fight...people say Stipe broke him but how can a man who has gone through actual shit can have a mental breakdown like than which lead to his loss in the next fight. We can speak from outside, don't know what goes inside someone's head.
true! u can't broke someone like that.
I love your videos and the Francis Ngannou's story is always 1 of the most inspiring stories I've ever heard. He definitely earned everything he has. Thank You and God Bless everyone.
Came back after he finally captured gold, no one more deserving tbh.
Hands down the best mma content on the internet, nobody even comes close.
It takes talent and hard work to be able to vocalise the human condition and relate it to the subject of MMA like this!
As always you tell such a great story man, keeps me captivated the whole time, of course it helps that Francis has an amazing story to work with but your delivery and insights are always on point.
Been waiting for a new vid! I really enjoy these.
Ngannou is a fucking beast.... Humble,friendly as hell... but cross him... get the right left combo...
what a sick man.... he deserves all the greatness!
Superb video man, world class. Eagerly awaiting the Ngannou movie, this is a story the entire world needs to hear.
I look forward to these videos .
Love these videos my man. I savor each one like I’m eating a delicious steak, I enjoy every last bite.
Ngannou literally goes back to work manual labor in his home town and country, he goes back not to remember where he came from but to help those that are still there because he has been through shit that makes it impossible for him to forget where he came from
Simply put, marvelous! Thank you for your content
This is the most inspiring story of the enduring human spirit I've ever seen, thank you so much for all your work MMW!
What a beautiful unexpected gift from a legend of youtube. Hope you are well my man
The fact that you showed clips from the Matrix and then quietly, played CLubbed to Death in the background shows your attention to detail... This is why youre one of the best MMA channels around.
And "the xx intro"
Can't say how much I love these videos. I love hearing the fighters' stories but its hard to find it especially put together this well.
Anyone here after he became ufc heavyweight champion🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Part 3 when Francis becomes the champ 💪🏾🙏🙏
Yes please
Fantastic documentary thankyou sir!
Yooo Molly, missed you man!!!
Hope you're doing well. 👊🇺🇸
I love these vidoes ❤

Outta nowhere, Mixed Molly hits us with the 1,2 combo, using his accuracy and power to K.O.us with his talents.
Your best work. Thank you for this.
Thank you..the way you direct your videos are inspiring. I appreciate your work.
Does anyone know the name of the song at the start of this and the fury videos it sounds like Irish traditional music and I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪❤💯

@@LibertasVeritatis Awesome. Thank you. Shazam wouldn't pick it up.
I cant believe that the best mma youtuber is sponsored by the 2nd best mma youtuber
Beautiful piece, thank you.
2 months later and I still find myself coming back to these videos his story is just so heart wrenching ive watched these at least 6 times now
This has aged like the finest of wines.
🍷
So my power was out this morning and I'm just sitting here browsing YT on my phone. Great timing bro.
M de usedl
La q see
Thank you for these amazing video breakdowns I look forward to these after every big fight
Mixedmollywhoppery - your work is fantastic. Some of the best bios I've watched in any genre. I'm always champin at the bit for your next upload. Thank you for being the best MMA/fighter filmmaker out there!
You best be wearing your seatbelt, looking both ways, and wearing a damn motorcycle helmet everywhere, because I need my MMW fix, and if something happens and there's no more videos.. my universe will implode.
Dana “Frances Ngannou’s ego” White
Your work always wonderful just got even better. Hands down my favourite channel. What a wonderful story told in and engaging manner. Thank you Molly.
Thank God this guy still makes videos, I often go back to some of the older ones. This content is amazing.
Daamn wasnt expecting a video from you so this made my day🙌🏼 Hope you all are well and safe🙋🏼♂️
You just saved my day
This two-part Series has been absolutely amazing. I take my hat off to you and for making this and to Francis for living this. Very inspirational👏👏👏
Well done sir, I saw a guy on other video recommending your channel to know more about nganou and Im not desapointed, super inspirational almost tearing!
I was NOT expecting to hear some Kaaris in one of your videos. Between this and the Dagistani flow in the other vids I'm expecting you to be some rap fiend
This is so sad that humans are doing things like this In order to find a better life
on the same planet where we spend trillions of dollars to build machines of war. really sad.
My day is always that much better when there is a new MixedMollyWhoppery film to watch. Another Great one!! Thank you!
as always one of the best CZcams videos I've seen. I love this channel and thank you for bringing these inspirational stories to us in the way only you can.
