@@agustinpodepiora5525 My personal thoughts. He is way out of his depth, and more importantly he does have the gas tank to go into unknown waters. Plus power in boxing gloves is not the same as power in mma gloves. Will have to see how his technique translates in bigger gloves. could be a medium puncher compared to what fury has faced. We shall see

There is no need to act tough when it is incredibly apparent to everyone you come in contact with that you could end them any time you wish haha. But no, I agree, he's respectful, and conducts himself as a gentleman. Something a lot of men could learn from these days.

Francis is a remarkable man. Just from what we’ve seen, he was using translators in the octagon and just in a few years he’s doing hours long interviews in English with Joe Rogan. Everyone was dunking on him when he left the UFC but he proved them all wrong. He’s a winner and an inspiration, congrats to him.

Francis is just pure class! How he stood up for himself because he knew the deal he was being offered by the UFC wasn't what he felt he deserved after all the work he had put in and money he had generated for the company, and didn't settle for anything less than what he knew he should have and walked away from a massive career being a superstar and heavyweight champ. Then he goes out taking a huge risk and it completely pays off and he got exactly what he wanted and is truly happy. I respect him so much because he really doesn't care about the money, he just wants to be treated as an equal and with respect and he just wants to fight because he loves it. He wants to challenge himself by boxing Tyson Fury and stepping into a whole new realm. And this guy literally came from nothing and he hasn't let the money or the fame change him at all, super humble, super respectful and just a really good human!

I’ve seen a lot of comments about Ngannou’s dispute with the UFC and most miss the mark. Ngannou didn’t leave because he wanted more money. He left because Dana wouldn’t agree to let him box - his childhood dream. When trying to resign Ngannou, Dana said he offered him a contract with more money than any other HW. Ngannou also admitted that the money was surprisingly tempting, but he didn’t want to compromise on his dream. The only mystery in my mind is why Dana wouldn’t allow Ngannou to box when he already made a similar arrangement for McGregor years ago.

It was easy for me to forget how Francis got over here when he stepped away from the UFC to forge his own path and a lot of people doubted him. I was quickly reminded that this man worked in a slave mine, crossed an ocean and was homeless then fought his way into being the UFC champion of the world. Who are we to ever doubt a man with that type of drive?
