Francis Ngannou Believes He Was Robbed In Tyson Fury Loss | The MMA Hour

Francis Ngannou talks about what the past two days have been like, whether the fight was the best night of his life, what he would have done differently in training camp, his feelings about the judges' decision, whether Fury underestimated him, how he held back during the fight, the pre-fight moment that made him angry, all the doubters he encountered in the media beforehand, whether he'll do boxing or MMA next, the possibility of fighting Deontay Wilder in MMA, why a rematch with Fury isn't an immediate priority, whether he ever doubted the path he took in leaving the UFC and seeking a boxing fight, Dana White's reaction to the fight, the hate he got from fighters before booking the Fury bout, when he'll return to fighting, and more.

[@arizonacolour8793]

Ive been a huge fan of Francis for some time now, I'm always happy for him succeeding. From hearing his backstory, first time i saw that interview w J.Rogan i dropped what i was doing and carefully listened. He's shown resiliency, intellect, and an ability to learn and adapt with the following 1. His backstory 2. Only reason we know his backstory is because he LEARNED English... in his mid 30s and was able to describe and explain his tough childhood to us. And he's so articulate w his words....in a second language. 3. His nonchalant and stoic pov on a lot of things. 4. He learned from his first fight with Stipe and look at the second time around.... Perfect sprawl and reversal ....to the eventual brutal KO 5. He uses said wrestling against Gane with a TORN KNEE LIGAMENT (not only winning and using said techniques, but ACCEPTING the fight in the first place w that condition at the time) 6. Sticking to what he believes in and what he thinks is right, standing up to the UFC/Dana 7. Not taking the easy route like we all would by re-signing w UFC, but rather going elsewhere 8. Seeking a boxing bout with the CHAMPION (Fury) 9. Seek out proper and effective boxing training (as we saw Sat night) 10. Carrying himself with class and stoic, again throughout the buildup 11. Performing like he did Saturday night and basically winning the fight. Francis shocked the world, he shocked the elitist, pompous boxing community, but he did not shock himself. He knew what he was doing this whole time. Francis needs a movie made of him asap, and ive been saying it since i saw his interview w Rogan

For people arguing that Fury landed more punches overall, that may be true but in round 6 Fury elbowed Ngannou in the head and all judges scored round 6 for Fury. A point deduction in round 6 for Fury would have flipped the outcome.

False. They would’ve given him a warning the first time and no points would’ve been taken unless he did it again. If you watch it back you can tell it wasn’t intentional he started trying to pull his punch back

Ariel was always loyal and clear about his support to Francis, no matter what Dana or the ufc as a whole would do (for example, putting pressure on their fighters to avoid joining the show). Francis has always been loyal to Ariel and the program as well: every big news, every huge announcement, or, like this one, big interview was always with Ariel first so I'm glad and proud of this "team": the new red hot boxer and arguably the biggest and definitely most relevant mma journalist in the world (either you love or hate him, accept it or not). Some say the good always defeats the bad, it "prevails " and even though it's not always the case, with Ariel and Ngannou vs Dana and his hate and lies it's a pleasure to see time after time the "good" ones win, and each of those victories is a terrible pain in the ass of White.

He was speaking full sentences after with no marks. Fury was gassed and bruised/swollen. What a hero and role model. He is most definitely the baddest man on the planet for multiple reasons.

Never thought much about this overrated heavyweight era in boxing where nobody is actually fighting each other and they still get credited as being goats, which is a big joke and an insult to heavyweight history. Fury's face after getting knocked down in round 3 and being bullied afterwards; Francis just became my absolute favorite MMA heavyweight champion.

[@starseeddeluxe]

I agree. He's my favorite fighter now. He is the most respectful, humble person ever. To be 272 pounds of solid muscle, and to be able to speak kindly of your you opponents the way he does. He is such a good role model. I don't know if people realize what a treasure he is, because he is setting an example for millions and millions of people; he's not once tried to make mean racial slurs, or unnecessary insults about another man's family or wife. This is completely different from other boxers (Wilder) or MMA stars like Adesanya. The strongest Human on Earth is also the nicest man on Earth, and that is good for Humanity.

Francis has made me realize that I don't really like Tyson Fury as a person or a fighter.

Francis would rather lose 10 fights in a row, than throw an illegal elbow to someone.

The worst thing about this is how bad the UFC "fumbled the bag." In America it's called "fumbling the ball." There's nothing more humiliating than fumbling a football (American Football). You are thrown a perfect pass, and then you can't hold onto it, and you lose the whole game because you're clumsy and lacking concentration. The UFC was given the biggest star in the last 25 years, and they were too dumb to see the vision of Francis. He has a vision like Conor McGregor, but Francis is actually sober, not on PED's, and has cardio to complete championship fights.

[@ayo30s]

I said it! UFC Lineal Champ! WBC Lineal Champ! PFL Future Champ! Salute to The Gypsy King for making this happen, congrats to both WARRIORS for a great Fight, 👊🏾🦁🦁🇨🇲🇨🇲🇳🇬🇺🇸

Triple champ status on the way

Francis is the biggest Personality in the last 20 years of Combat Sports. I love this Guy.

[@IrishSam123]

Inspiring “ Im not going to do what I don’t want to do cause someone else wants me too” I needed to hear that at this moment in life just to fresh my memory.

[@womenhealthforum]

Absolutely 💯

Did your boss tell you to take out the trash to the dumpster and you decided you were gonna stick it to him ?

[@IrishSam123]

[@tinylittlefilms3043]

Such a strong example of disciple, strategy, planning and confidence.

[@mrchrisbeaver]

I like the humility of Francis, it makes a refreshing change from the usual ego talk most of the others do. I'm a huge Fury fan but this guy has won me over

[@rickyeiles6618]

You did yourself proud. You have gained a lot of fans in Britain. What a show as well. Saudi do things at a top level. 🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@kesuya]

The documentary on Mike Tyson's channel of him training Francis is epic. And Ngannou is one hell of an athlete. When Tyson gives him pointers, he picks it up fast.

[@mmamultiverse75]

I remember Francis doing the same step in jab mike was showing him in that preflight doc

The most brutale knock-out in ufc history, the hardest recorded punch in ufc history, stood up for himself against the ufc machine, and has come out on top. Way to stick it to the man Champ. Long live the King

[@mantanna2]

What a nice humble man. A perfect embassador for boxing.

[@RurouniKenshinShinta]

"Always do you, and let haters do them, they'll always do them" Love it! Great champ!

[@jojoarpa33]

Watch the video of Francis' s training, and you know how much hard work, and devotion this man has. Tyson worked him to the bone. Francis I never had any doubts about your abilities. Toughest, BADDEST MAN alive, and most HUMBLE. Congrads Champ.

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

It's not so important whether you doubted him or not. The point is you sincerely rooted for him for all the right reasons, and that's the best and most important part of humanity.

[@jojoarpa33]

True.

what a great interview , very genuine..

[@galenmarek384]

Wow! Just all of it. Francis is literally next level inspiration.

[@SomethingThatSCREAMS]

As a massive boxing fan, it kind of pains me how much I actually like this guy. I'm always rooting for boxing, but its hard not root for Ngannou. I had mixed emotions watching an MMA fighter do that well in the ring. He didn't get the win, but he humbled Fury which was nice to see. Can't wait to see him take on more boxers.

[@sindanonegongo1199]

He's always wanted boxing

[@blablah538]

It pains you to like one of the most likeable athletes in history?

[@Alex-be6fw]

Im completly with you. As a hardcore fan of boxing i was 100% against this ridiculous fight, this circus. But i was so happy that he kicked the ass of the clown fury. Fury thinks he is the best boxer of the world but he is soooo far from the HW legends of boxing....bravo to him !!

[@nero5869]

u know francis comes from a boxing background when he first started fighting in france?😊

[@luisgomez-jordanamartin4776]

He prove against fury that he is a great boxer. You are rooting for a boxer, as well as an mma practioner. Ngannou is just a fighter and a great one.

[@redveinborneo4673]

Ngannou brought up a great point. Now before this is said, nothing taken away from Ngannou here, he performed absolutely amazing. But one of the biggest things in a boxing camp is watching footage and studying your oponent, to come uo with a gameplan. And this is one of the things Fury does great, hes very good at exposing his opponents weaknesses. He was in deep water with Francis, he had no idea what to do with Francis, he had to keep coming up with different plans on the fly. This is where the props to Ngannou comes in, because every gameplan fury tried Ngannou was able to shut down

[@edwardirungu7715]

What an interview, I love it so well conducted from the host to the guest. The host is hilarious the way he snitched the question no matter how Francis tried to avoid.

[@wherzmaslipperz3111]

This interview needs to be seen by everyone who took interest in this fight for whatever reason. A champion for what he has to say and how he said it, makes him twice the champ!

[@rickisunak]

Almost forgot that Fury really hates fighting Southpaws - thanks to Francis for reminding us! Real champion of a man this fella (I'm not even a MMA fan).

[@AM1media]

Haaa If I remember correctly fury switched to South Paw first.

[@YouraBadcompany]

I'm curious what your opinion on the fight was a more of a boxing fan. Do you think fury did enough to win within the rules?

[@Phil-lv3ul]

Ngannou won that fight end of 😮😊

[@rickisunak]

@@YouraBadcompany I think it was close but Ngannou should have won (didn't score it), he seemed to be landing the more meaningful shots in a fight with not much activity I'd say. I always favour the classier work but if that's not apparent then you should score the round to the one forcing the action, which Ngannou was doing throughout.

[@BelfastBoxingNBlues]

N’Gannou fought out of the southpaw stance ably. Uncanny for a first time Boxer.

[@ogedengbebabatunde9249]

Ariel you are the best. Your words of encourage are priceless. Thank you

Francis dancing in front of Tyson was the most badass thing I've seen in years.

This Dude is what we need! - A true Hero this is what has been missing from Boxing for so long, especially now. People often think that rudeness and bad behaviour is the time we are in.

Ppl can say what they want, but i love the respect and support shown to Frances from Ariel. Frances embodies the hard hat, blue collar, men of pride and family.
