@Brett Sylvester you don't know that man. You are saying that based on his butt-hurt coach's opinion. That's just one person. Fact is nobody knows. But he seems like a cool, genuine dude on most recent Rogan podcast.
Francis' English is very impressive. It was only like 2-3 years ago that he needed a translator after his fights because he barely spoke English. 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.
@@MrJohannut do I detect sarcasm? It’s impressive that he learned English along with learning about what MMA is in a relatively short amount of time. Not to mention, this is at least his 3rd language as he speaks French and presumably his native language from his tribal area.

After we took a selfie, he patted me on the chest. I swear it felt like he punched me even though to him it was a friendly pat. Dude is too strong for his own good and I love it
Definitely makes you wonder how many freaks (physically and intellectually) are growing up poor or out in the boonies somewhere. Just imagine if someone like Ngannou had been training since he was a kid. At the same time maybe he wouldn’t have the same level of strength and grit
@@xinsanedefeatx ''At the same time maybe he wouldn’t have the same level of strength and grit'' I definitely think he wouldn't. Because of how he lived, he's become mentally indestructible.

@@Tourist-Q. makes sense, the UFC has a massive pool of foreign fighters coming from all over the world whose second or third language is English. Why wouldn’t the UFC employ a English teacher, their largest viewership comes from English speakers. It defiantly makes a fighter more relatable and more popular if they can speak your language.

I'm rooting for Ngannou cause he deserves to be champ and Stipe been champ for years. Also Ngannou makes the prettiest strawberry short cake I've ever seen. 🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰
Just pray to the MMA gods it'll be a good fight. "Ngannou winning the title then windmilling Jon Jones is the storybook ending to the nightmare that has been the HW Division’s booking and Jon Jones’ reign of terror."
No it’s not he should get better at it, he is living in English speaking country after all it’s not fair on us Americans that we have to listen extra hard because he’s hard to understand. You live in America you play by our rules baby!🇺🇸
Why do people keep using the word impressive? do you know the actual meaning of the word? YES his english got good, i wouldnt call that impressive...i love the guy just hate it when people says stuff like that, its a little bit offensive, i know people tell me the same, wow your english is so good, so condescending (i know its not your intent)
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.
Idk what would put me to sleep faster. His punches or his soothing voice.
Definitely punches
Both
My money's on the punches lmao
Voice will put you to sleep punches will send you on a forever nap
omg
Francis is one of those dudes who doesn't sound like a douche when he calls himself a tough guy
Because he doesn't need to
Probably because he's a smooth talker like many African guys.Regardless of what language they're speaking, it's as smooth as marble.😂😭

@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 nope, it's called head movement
Agree
very down to earth and humble dude. Rooting for him.
incredible guy! absolute killer in the octagon and feels like the kindest human being! love it!
His calmness is unreal. Exactly what the best fighters are like.
@Rays Through Trees, Summer Breeze 😂😂😂
This guy deserves a fucking movie !!! Sounds like an amazing and humble guy. Mma fighter to promote and be proud of.
Check out a video called “nganous road through hell” Deffo deserves a movie
@@grimaffiliations3671 sweet will do
You deserve nothing but success Francis! Looking foward to surpporting your career outside of the UFC 👍🏽 GO GET YOURS CHAMP 🙌🏽👑💯
This is the top 5 podcasts and I've been listening since 100. What a crazy life, I teared up a couple times.
Ngannou seems like a very humble man. Good on him, love to see people like this succeed 👏 🙏
He is not. He isn't grateful to everyone who helped him get there. Never gave a thank you to anyone.
Francis is completely self-absorbed.
Tell that to Dana white LOL
@HpPmL You clown
@@oliamangbo truth hurts... Ask about Francis at MMA Factory in Paris, and see what you get.
The issue is so is Stipe.
FINALLY A PODCAST WITH NGANNOU
Love how down to earth he is. Goes to show we take so much for granted here in the states. Much respect for that he had to go through.
Francis's fighting ability is Amazing. His humble & humorous personality is even more Amazing.

Stipe took that man's soul.
And unintentionally rebuilt it into a stronger one.
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 :)
@@Bawambaa agreed lol
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.
People who've been through it tend to soak up everything because they know it increases your worth in this world I think
Best podcast ever! This man’s story is of true willpower and determination. I will no longer take for granted my blessings.
His English is phenomenal
fr tho
For an african
I love how honest this guy is: MMA is easy!
Thanks for the video
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.
Dudes a supercomputer
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 was fighting to survive and I end up doing MMA. It is very hard to listen these words from him. Such a great example of Perseverance.
“ idk if he’s doing kung fu shit but I’m a tough guy you know, I’m gonna handle it” that’s badass lol
What a story man, wish this man all the best in life!
He says “yeah” just like Keith Sweat in a slow jam
Lmao i love to hear Francis actually feelin himself a little, cool dude.
English is incredible, this dude works crazy hard on everything. Respect
For such a big imposing guy - he comes across so humble and dare i say it gentle
"At the end of the day, it's just fight. I dont know if they doing some kung fu shit or something" LMFAOOO
Stipe is one of the best just for surviving Ngannou alone.
Yeah, that comment about him saying Stipe took him deeper in one night than all his opponents combined really makes u realize it.
Yeah, Stipe dominated Francis in all facets of fighting.
Francis is a true gentleman... a real human.
This man is so deserving of a title
Such an amazing backstory and humble man
Francis “I like to kick shit” Ngannou
What did shit ever do to him? Shit is a natural part of human life, kicking it is unnecessary and will ruin your shoes. 0/10 👎
Lol
His voice is so calming dude
What a stand up and amazingly humble man. Best wishes
What a fight!!! Stipe took some heavy shots and kept moving forward. Best fight I've seen in many years.
Forgot this podcast existed after the Spotify switch.
...Rogan did it for the money, not the fans...
Spotify premiums worth it. Rogan only adds to the value.
The ads in middle that come out of no where really pisses me off.
same. Ain't going to spotify - not a single fuck
I love Francis! He is a monster fighter and is the embodiment of the American dream. Future champ, let’s go!
Love from france francis ! In good and bad moments i'll still be your fan force à toi pour le titre tu le mérite 🇨🇵🔥
This dudes energy is so pure. Its refreshing
The way Francis says 0:34 "the redemption" sounds like some shit from alien vs predator
Straight out he said it so smooth
"I like to kick shit" give this man a podcast
This is a good reason to be a fight fan, this man has changed his life and his families lives because of fighting as a sport. True gladiator.
Such a nice, humble guy. His story is incredible.
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.
