Francis is so authentic. In this short exchange Stipe was a class act and started to lighten up the situation with a compliment. Francis was confused, but instead of acting all tough or responding with sarcasm or a joke, he genuinely reacted to Stipe's nice aproach. Both Great role models. No nonsense, decent humans.
@bob loblaw Take it easy bro. it is very obvious Francis in NOT roided up, did you actually watch the last fight?!! But I agree, they are hyping him up, not only the UFC, also the fans themselves. Stipe is the underdog which is crazy! I mean surly you don't think most UFC fans are easily manipulated to think what the UFC wants them to think. I'm sure you are not because you seem very clever.
@@sookymma but its not... from the beginning the best rivalries sell fights. I dont wanna see two mf's getting along until its over then show respect. Sometimes not even then. Colby an usman would never hug it out.
It's so true. But the more research I do, it all comes down to mental toughness. Look at how Cormier and Stipe approach fights vs. others. This game is all mental sometimes.
Almost all of Conner's fights where he won were all because of a good mental game. He got in his opponents heads so much. Only fight I think he wasn't like that was the one with Donald Cerrone.
@@MastemaJack Technically he did get into Donald's head too. He acted all friendly towards him so Donald can forget that he's suppose to be fighting him, it didn't work with Dustin though.
i agree, its just a shame the owners just want a flashy bulky guy, no offense francis, its not like francis could do much cause hes a quiet guy, i think the ufc have no clue how to work with talent who are quiet, tito chuck randy gsp connor ronda all knew how to work it, francis would literally be a quiet humble hard hitter
Chill out, what ya yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be, you will see that I am the funniest YouT*ber of all time. Admit it, my dear follow*r julio
Yeah, man! And I wonder: why most of the fightas don't shall some respect and politeness too? I mean, they need each other to pay their bills. If you call them for a fight and get refused, you made no deal.
But Francis is not the guy you think you see on screen. Sure anyone can be sweet and nice on screen but his actions outside of the ring says a lot about his character. He betrayed the guy that took him out of the slums and trained him
Who's here after Francis knocks out stipe and wins the title and at the same time appreciate Stipe for having such a great run as an Undisputed HW Champ !!! Mad respect to the GOAT Stipe Miocic !!!
I served Stipe in a restaurant in NYC, sometimes some unsavory sides in peoole come out when dealing with the "help" so to speak. Stipe no, a down to earth respectful human being.
Stipe taught Ngannou a lesson and read a previous comment and I still can’t find words to even that but “Iron Sharpens Iron” Ngannou wouldn’t have been the Fighter he is now if it wasn’t for Stipe... All respect
@@oliamangbo Nah he's was trash talking Robert Whittaker the whole time. You can sell a fight without making it about nations or offending the origins of your opponent. Go back and watch the press conference.
Stipe is such an underrated character in the fight business imo like his approach pre fight appears to be a jolly dad person and for the weigh ins you see a Cold face guy staring dead into your soul and for the fight he is like a Ninja cat.
Stipe lived in his head rent free since their first fight, Ngannou admitted its why he froze vs Derrick Lewis (afraid of gassing again) so he had a long time to plot this revenge.
He's going to be missed for sure. I mean, when you look around, it's tough to come by now. You gotta sell your fights. Luckily, nothing sells itself more than a heavyweight bout with one of the greatest of all time.
Both these guys are TRUE ROLE MODELS .. I'd say Nganou though has really done allot for his home town opening that gym giving kids dreams .. Two great guy with allot to still do outside the ring
Stipe that's why this man is a fireman, world champion and great human being. How he's not endorsed by big brands is beyond me. Love and respect from 🇮🇳 India
Its a good point, Big sponsors should want his face all over their ads. Its a risky business though given how quickly the belt changes hands. Pay bit money for the champion and the next week he is tumbling down the rankings. Weve seen it before. I love both these fighters impossible to choose.
Stipe has an infectious laugh and smile, how can you not like the champ. Both men humble and great examples to the youth and all the dikheds out there who think they're hard.
UFC fighters are wired differently Francis: *getting his soul beaten up* “it was a good fight btw” Stipe: *25 mins on the verge of oblivion with a monster* “it was great, it was fun” AND STILL!
Stipe is one of my fav athletes amongst all sports, much respect for the guy .. same with rose nmantjunas, love the respect and sportsmanship they show
I love how after Francis says he'll get his revenge Stipe lightly pats him on the back LOL, subtle power move. But in all seriousness, it's genuinely kinda wholesome seeing these two guys being nice to each other. It shows that they have a mutual respect.
power move? lol maybe he just like being touchy like he did with werdum when they met backstage after he knocked werdum's ass out, that rock paper scissors handshake they did, was pretty funny
@@xd-ko9oo Yeah I'm just teasing, Stipe is just like that. That Werdum interview was hilarious lol, Werdum was like "I look forward to rematch but right now you scare me" and they both just laugh and hug each other. They were both smiling the whole time. I really like it when fighters are nice and respectful to each other, especially after the fight.
How many times does it have to be the last time he has to prove he is the greatest heavyweight of all time ? You guys never have enough of it nothings good enough for you'll.
@@ddddsouza5184, yea man, right that! 👍 If he beat some fuckin alien monster one day, there will be somebody who talking "o excellente, but maybe he need tu beat one more alien mosnter and than he is the greatest" 🤷♂️ But history will write, Stipe GOAT, he is that man, thats it. 💪🔝👍
I know. It''s always hard for me to just give a lot of credit to the fighter who lost, but it's safe to say that Ngannou is a different fighter now. Stipe still beat Cormier twice. Blows. Me. Away. Love those two haha.
@@sookymma he’s one of the worlds best off course. But due to the stress of the job injuries and the fact that Dana doesn’t pay enough to help these guys recover in between fights, it’s better to retire early. He will go down in history for sure though. But I’d like to see him retire so he doesn’t get hurt anymore.
i think francis was impressed by how stipe was handling himselve before and after both oftheir fights and he honestly was verry impressed by all that and he tought that that is the kind of champion he want to be.
@@sookymma he really seems to be. i liked him from the first time i saw him. he fought in zagreb, croatia which i wouldn't miss.I was very disappointed when he was talking and acting like he did before the first fight, but hey, maybe we would act even worse than him having all those false people around and having baldy whispering only bullshit in ngannous ear. he saw and felt how "ipretendicareaboutthefighters" made him feel like a demigod and dropped him like hot coal after the loss. the loss was actually a double win for him. as a fighter he has grown and also as a human he saw that it was a cruel game and not to trust anyone as easy he did.
There's been a huge increase in the lower ranks too. It's been nice to see so much talent. I also hope you meant been champs haha. Saw yan and thought it was a joke but then saw JJ too
This guy is the best fighter on the planet then goes and saves people from fires. Any card he headlines everyone needs to go buy or attend, true legend
@SUVAJIT MUKHERJEE Conor was not half of the fighter he used to be in that match. Bad comparison, Stipe will probably be the same as in last one, or even better.
@James Paio exactly jones would just outwrestle ngannou and pretty much do what stipe did but faster and more efficiently, that fight last on how long ngannou gas tank does. Even after the stipe fight till now he has only had short fights so his gas tank is probably still low, his size makes that worse. If he doesn't take his time to break stipe and tries what he did before i see him getting beat even quicker this time probably wont hear the final bell.
Ngannou was clearly always a great person, but I think its almost like Stipe showed him that it was silly to put on a bad guy act when youre actually a lovely guy. lol
It pisses me off why the ufc doesn’t market stipe it’s inexcusable the world needs more people like the both of these men.. their stories are inspirational and goes to show if you put the work in great things will come
Let's be honest, us Great Lakes folk are actually in the mideast, not the midwest ...but, you know, there's just something about the phrase "middle east" that seems to make people look at you twice for some reason... ...anyway...
They're both real Champions, no matter the result. I wish one didn't have to lose, honestly. Still, they're both winners and Champions that deserve to be remembered forever. Luv it.
Not gonna butter him up, Ngannou’s already nice outside of the cage, he changes when he gets in there, he’s even said before he doesn’t like seeing opponents get knocked out, and he also said right here I’m getting my revenge, so he’s not going to get buttered up lol
@@erickreyes9707 Ahahahahahahhahaaha...you fool, you know Stipe could have retired as GOAT HW right? but he decided that he will keep grinding even at 38 years old almost 39and he knew Ngannou is next.So do you understand how stupid you sound I mean are you even aware of the existence of common sense?
You are stupid if u think that Ngannou is skilled enough to beat stipe...... Ngannou has a power but Stipe's fight iq is off the charts - watch stipe vs dc 2. There is only one way Ngannou can beat Stipe and that's through Luck.
@Orangutan Tits Yeah Francis doesn't have good takedown defense but he's such a monster that when he's fresh you just can't take him down. Stipe will probably do what he did last time and box him up for most of the first round, until Francis is sufficiently tired for a takedown. Stipe was better in the standup than Francis but it's scary watching him slip punches that have disgusting power behind them lol. He did take a few good shots and didn't slow down, so that's good for Stipe too. But Francis also has an insane chin, I rewatched the fight again and he took some huge shots from Stipe and didn't seem TOO rattled, except for at the end of round 1, but then he caught Stipe too. Crazy fight, can't wait for the rematch.
I talked with stipe for some hours in his Twitch channel (only 14 people watching, he was beginning to stream COD Warzone, and i didn't see any announcements in his official accounts on social media, so there was only a few people watching it) and the dude is so chill and nice! I want to be a good and respectable man and father, like him!
Adorable your ass. Francis is not humble. Stipe is nice guy, as when lost and got butt whooped he thought stipe is not nice so that's why Francis is surprised
Stipe never needed dark nor negative insult to sell a fight don’t think he is just a good guy far better than khabib, stipe never trashtalked an opponent once even if they were talking shit to him
I think that's what makes MMA interesting. When the fight is so full of skill, all that pre-stuff does very little for those who truly enjoy the arts of martial.
He's got that... I want to use the word girth, but I'm setting myself up haha. He's definitely got the stature vs. Stipe. He even makes a joke about the size of his shirt.
Jan Blachowitz & Stipe Miočić like a twins, very intelligent, smart fighters, no surrender, fight with brain and balls.. its how mutch you can take and survive and go on..👌

@@JM-bx2vg jones will get demolished by francis or jones will pick him off round after round we'll see.
stipe and mark hunt are saint in UFC history
Man, I loved Mark too. I think the Lesnar fight was the straw that broke the camel's back for him. Dirty situation.
Mark Hunt is a nut
Notice The nicest calm ufc fighter are the most dangerous one yet in octagon
True MMA beasts.
Respect to both guys
Ngannou was clearly always a great person, but I think its almost like Stipe showed him that it was silly to put on a bad guy act when youre actually a lovely guy. lol
Francis: Not sure if compliment or he's tryna get inside my head 😂😂
All in all, Francis has grown immensely. If there was a guy to beat Stipe, I'm happy it was him. Wish it was my guy DC, can't lie haha.
@@sookymma Oh man, we all know the only one DC will come out of retirement for is Max Holloway 😛😛
@@Mistanyycguy wish there was a happy tear emoji right now, because you get me man.
@@sookymma haha love it ❤❤
This brought happy tears to my eyes
It pisses me off why the ufc doesn’t market stipe it’s inexcusable the world needs more people like the both of these men.. their stories are inspirational and goes to show if you put the work in great things will come
Th coolest man stipe...thanks for uploading such a nice video
Anytime. Just trying to do God's work haha. Just kidding, please don't be offended LOL
@@sookymma🙏🙏👍👍
Miocic is P4P best human being in the world
Win or lose, the baddest man on the planet is also the most kind person.
yeah, that's the best part about that bout. When you think about Lewis or Jones, it's just a different vibe haha.
calm and humble outside , biggest and baddest inside the octagon.
How is Stipe so nice? That’s Midwest etiquettes for ya right there.
Let's be honest, us Great Lakes folk are actually in the mideast, not the midwest
...but, you know, there's just something about the phrase "middle east" that seems to make people look at you twice for some reason...
...anyway...
I think I'd get along with the Mideast folk quite well. LOL at Middle East though.
Stipe hw 🐐
Love this man hoping to hear those beautiful words at the end of the fight #Andstill...
They're both real Champions, no matter the result. I wish one didn't have to lose, honestly. Still, they're both winners and Champions that deserve to be remembered forever. Luv it.
Stipe buttering him up so francis don’t hit him with that angry power lmao.
Francis was caught off guard by a compliment made out of fear.. yeah what are you talking about
Not gonna butter him up, Ngannou’s already nice outside of the cage, he changes when he gets in there, he’s even said before he doesn’t like seeing opponents get knocked out, and he also said right here I’m getting my revenge, so he’s not going to get buttered up lol
@@erickreyes9707 Ahahahahahahhahaaha...you fool, you know Stipe could have retired as GOAT HW right? but he decided that he will keep grinding even at 38 years old almost 39and he knew Ngannou is next.So do you understand how stupid you sound I mean are you even aware of the existence of common sense?
@@alenkikic3531 Ngannou will retire him
You are stupid if u think that Ngannou is skilled enough to beat stipe...... Ngannou has a power but Stipe's fight iq is off the charts - watch stipe vs dc 2. There is only one way Ngannou can beat Stipe and that's through Luck.
Respect
the best kind
The mutual respect man 👏❤️
my favorite part about martial arts.
this is so wholesome
Don’t mistake his kindness as weakness we saw what happened lol
It be hard for anyone to mistake that by now, don't you think?
pretty sure everyone knows it by now if anything
Dustin Louis if u talking about francis I think he took your advice 💯
Yeah, nganou dropped him with a jab and made him take a nap on his own leg
I don't think getting beat pillar to post for another 25 minutes would be considered 'revenge'.
LOL
Look at everybody else’s comment and then your weirdo. People like you are why this world is worthless.
😂🤣
@Orangutan Tits Yeah Francis doesn't have good takedown defense but he's such a monster that when he's fresh you just can't take him down. Stipe will probably do what he did last time and box him up for most of the first round, until Francis is sufficiently tired for a takedown. Stipe was better in the standup than Francis but it's scary watching him slip punches that have disgusting power behind them lol. He did take a few good shots and didn't slow down, so that's good for Stipe too. But Francis also has an insane chin, I rewatched the fight again and he took some huge shots from Stipe and didn't seem TOO rattled, except for at the end of round 1, but then he caught Stipe too. Crazy fight, can't wait for the rematch.
Iconic interaction between these two
I talked with stipe for some hours in his Twitch channel (only 14 people watching, he was beginning to stream COD Warzone, and i didn't see any announcements in his official accounts on social media, so there was only a few people watching it) and the dude is so chill and nice! I want to be a good and respectable man and father, like him!
This is so adorable
They're both Gentle Giants outside the cage!
@@sookymma When you are as strong as them you don't need to act tough!
Adorable your ass. Francis is not humble. Stipe is nice guy, as when lost and got butt whooped he thought stipe is not nice so that's why Francis is surprised
@@ramjam6036 Francis is a nice guy, don't be hater
.....don’t say “adorable.” That’s cringe.
Ngannou champ 👑
going to be crazy to see what happens now
This was from 4 years ago. I remember watching it. Hope we get to see more of this kind of thing
This is new. He even mentions near the end that he'll have his revenge from the first fight.
It's between their two fights. I hope the rest of the Embeddeds are this good.
This is why men are leaders, we need more like them.
Khabib broke the need for dark, negative insults to sell a fight. His prediction was true.
Stipe never needed dark nor negative insult to sell a fight don’t think he is just a good guy far better than khabib, stipe never trashtalked an opponent once even if they were talking shit to him
@@jeuxvoeuxkwa yep, everyone acts like khabibs a nice humble guy. its just an act, remember how he kicked ferguson's belt off the stage unprovoked?
THIS IS A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE BUT A MONSTER IN THE CAGE
That's how we want to view our heavyweights haha
Honestly, I had a fight with a guy like stipe..wouldn't even mind losing since the dudes friendly chill as fuck..
I think that's what makes MMA interesting. When the fight is so full of skill, all that pre-stuff does very little for those who truly enjoy the arts of martial.
Nice behaviours of these 2 champions. No need trash talk. Good example for many others
After this video stipe literally steals his shirt off his back
he also then won mental game afterwards with nganou shirtless
Now here's a funky introduction of how nice i am... 🎶
Haha, straight up. Couldn't have gone more perfectly.
@@sookymma so funny if stipe had started singing 😂
They are both great guys.
Love of both of these guys
Stipe: "Nice shirt Dude"
Francis: "Don't lie Stipe, Don't lie"
Is it only me who understand francis english more than stipe?
I swear there's a whole bunch of folks who agree with you haha
Love both of them
Both champs!!
Why does Francis look like 50lb bigger?!?! LOL
He's got that... I want to use the word girth, but I'm setting myself up haha. He's definitely got the stature vs. Stipe. He even makes a joke about the size of his shirt.
Stipe is actually lovely and Francis is actually adorable 👌🏾, no homo.
Either one of these guys make great champions.
Jan Blachowitz & Stipe Miočić like a twins, very intelligent, smart fighters, no surrender, fight with brain and balls.. its how mutch you can take and survive and go on..👌
