      It's wild. I took 4 years of spa ish and can't speak shit. Granted I didn't try and my teacher was retiring so neither did she lol. But still, it's hard as hell to learn a 2nd language and English is difficult. Especially as an adult, it's a lot tougher. Credit to him. I love hearing him speak.

    EDIT: For everyone saying "basic English is easy to learn", Francis isn't speaking "basic English". He's using advanced vocabulary and articulating his thoughts very well. Just because he has a thick accent doesn't mean his English is basic. Give the man some props.

      Yes, his English is much improved. However, many times people learning a new language choose not to use it because they aren't confident yet. So you may not have seen his full ability because he was hesitant to use broken English, so the jump in improvement seems drastic.

      Stipe GOAT, but i have to disagree. He took him to school and the second fight will show if Francis learned anything at all. After all his "dead" soul has been knocking out the top contenders in the division :)

    One thing Ive noticed is that not only is Francis a talented fighter, he is a talented LEARNER. The guy learns very quick and absorbs everything like a sponge; whether its languages or different styles of MMA.

    Ngannou learns things so damn fast it's insane. Imagine only 6/7 years after you first start training you're fighting with the best of all time of that division for a title in the biggest mma organization ever. Also the speed at which he's learning english is amazing, dude speaks French, (I don't know what language people speak in Camaroon), and English. The guy is a genetic freak in many ways.

    Sounds like a humble and nice guy. Definitely a beast in the cage, but very respectable and he knows the value of a world title. Fixed mistakes and came back roaring. Mark of a great champion.

      I’m a photographer and have worked with Robert Whittaker and his family. He is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. No ego at all, kept thanking me for working with them. When we were leaving there was a wedding shoot going on in the same park and he went and got photos with the couple. The husband and wife couldn’t believe that Rob agreed to be in the wedding photos.
