Absolutely. I've been disappointed by the online community when it comes to him. He's been very honest and respectful.

They just want to see what they want to see and there's no appreciation for the people that make it possible.

Francis is the first UFC champ, at the height of his game, who is able tell his boss to go take a hike! Remember, this was a guy who walked from Africa to Europe, in his late teens/early 20s. With all the other champs, wherever the Big Boss goes, they go. Even after they retire, that leash is still there, around their neck. Most say they love it there, of course.

Man, Francis is already a legend in combat sports. Putting his combat accomplishments to the side, he stood up to the man and demanded what he believed he was worth, and when they tried to throw money in his face he rejected it and kept his dignity. Whatever happens next, he can hold his head up high. And he will make lots of money regardless. Now, I know MMA fans are top contenders for the most dumb, juvenile group of fans across sport, but if you ever had a job, you should at least respect what he has done/is doing.

If Jon finishes Stipe, after that, the only fight that will sell for Jon Jones is with Francis.

[@nikhilkumar-bm8ic]

I think..with what Francis has been through which is facing death on his journey to MMA and surviving, he is very secure in himself and doesn't need any validation from any one as to the moves he makes in his life whether people understand it or not is none of his concern and that is why I want to be like Francis one day. Whereas Jon I feel like is very lost and trying to find himself and getting "love" from fans sort of gives him validation. Thats what I think.

[@manny2493]

It appears to me that Francis is discovering that making boxing matches happen is no walk in the park, even if the fighters actually WANT to fight each other. How many real boxers will WANT to fight Francis? All offers will be exhibition/circus fights. No heavyweights with a belt is gonna want to do legit vent.

Francis looks like he’ll come out on an opening scene in The Fast of the Furious with a couple girls around him & Dominic Toretto pulling the upset cause he got that dawg in him oh and also family

[@mrfatuchi]

I love how everyone is still overlooking Stipe... Jones doesnt punch as nearly as hard as Francis so he isnt knocking Stipe out like Francis did. Jones chance is only winning by dragged out 5 round decision fight because Stipe is not crumbling like Gane and will go after him.

I spit up water when Francis said “but was this The first time that you were disappointed by Jones?” 😂 If promoted right, Francis vs Wilder could do some nice numbers. I hope he gets it.

[@timw4432]

Such a low key savage line 😂

[@EdgarGarcia_]

I truly want the best for ngannou he’s fought his whole life but man Ariel and everyone around him are ruining the career he has

[@ahmedhamm5464]

ariel takes any chance he gets to mess up his deals by asking dumb questions

[@KaineTremaine]

We'll see what you say if he does well Vs Wilder. Then he'll be a huge favorite in Bellator or ONE

[@ayanmukherjee4638]

Guy is living in a lala land xD

[@vincentdigirolomo8056]

I’m a Francis fan but I wanna know why he’s doing a media tour with no Fight scheduled? I personally don’t care to hear him talk about Jon if the fight is never gonna happen

[@timtan2023hiyffg]

He hardly even said anything about jon despite the loaded questions. Francis is always respectful and polite. Dude is content with his decision and has nothing to prove to anyone. Mma casuals are so fickle, this man is a legend. All the casuals defending a wife beating, drug cheat, hit and run jon bones jones.

[@issacmedrano9755]

You watched it though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gogv1]

Guy is a titan look at his freaking size its not normal. All the best for him but I don't think he ll beat op top notch Boxer

[@Sambigs9112]

No one thinks that bro

[@George18798]

I like how people try to twist reality and it works since most have very short memory. Back in march 2021 when Francis Ngannou became champion him and Jon Jones were supposed to make a fight. Francis Ngannou said "show me the contract", Jon Jones said "show me the money". Dana White at the time said that he proposed Jon Jones 10 million, and claimed he asked for 30 million, but now he claims it is Francis Ngannou who priced himself out. Jon Jones was saying "I want the fight, I just want to get paid". Then Dana White wanted Francis Ngannou to defend his title from Derrick Lewis, so if it will not be Francis Ngannou who is champion Jon Jones will make Heavyweight turn. Then he make an Interim title fight between Cyril Gane and Derrick Lewis literally after 3 months UFC got new Heavyweight Champion
