Francis' obviously high intelligence is such an overlooked aspect of his story. He could barely speak English just a few years ago and in such a short time he's able to conduct such a nuanced and insightful interview in what must be (at the very least) his third language. This, plus his indomitable will, does much to explain how he was able to overcome everything from the sand mines to Dana White.

The way Francis can articulate his thoughts in English is amazing. I think with the all praise he gets on his physical talents, his intelligence is even higher in my opinion.

Francis' intelligence is not higher than his athletic ability, you fool. Don't get me wrong - I think Francis is fairly smart, but if his intelligence were greater than his physically ability, he would be a 200IQ genius working in academia
