Francis is one of the best of all time already. So crazy to watch his entire career.

[@briananderson9650]

He a great person but nowhere near an all time great as fighter . He left the big leagues for the minors for boxing money. No blame there but competition wise he left the big boys 😂

[@cripplermaximus]

@@briananderson9650 he beat Overeem, Cain, JDS, Stipe…not an all time great? lol okay. 👍🏽 🤡

[@BigMikeGaming21]

He’s nearing the end of his career given his age might as well get rich before retirement. I also loved seeing Tyson fury getting beat by him 😂!

[@FactsandReelsForall]

Absolute legend, after seeing this video i cant complain of anything in life anymore...

[@musicmetalmartialmotor]

He might not be the technically elite HW but this man is a personification of baddest man on the planet with such an incredible story back from his roots of struggle, grit, war thru his life!!.. hats off to the predator 🫡🫡

[@obiarah4161]

Technically elite? Bro what on earth are you talking about lol

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

He's alot more technical then you think. He has good fighting instincts and a quick learner.

[@musicmetalmartialmotor]

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu i dont think or have caliber to asses as a trainer, but what i meant was the overall technical prowess, i have been watching UFC since 2008 and have a bit of understanding on how to watch fights not just for entertainment but also enjoy the strategies involved both offensively and defensively. Elite HWs are very few who had the overall game, like stipe, tom, cain, DC, werdum, Jones etc. You may argue on few of them but these guys can manage stuff anywhere as part of the match..this what i meant. For HWs, elite status is not needed if they have one shot one kill power.. like Ngannou... may the best man win!!

[@fightthefeeling]

@@musicmetalmartialmotorFrancis is a lot more elite than you’re still stating, he was able to lose to Stipe (considered one of the greatest HW’s) & then came back & knocked him out. Shows technical prowess & technique, power does lots but not everything, this was shown through Deontay Wilder & Tyson Fury. Not the same genre of fighting but the same caliber, strength wins early fights, technicality makes you a champion like Ngannou.

[@maxenzie5798]

@@musicmetalmartialmotor Francis isn't just a one punch fighter. People forget, he beat Cyril Gane just with his wrestling and on one knee too. He took down Stipe Miocic.

[@Londonman564]

Francis is a true warrior ✊

[@litlesnoopy]

Much respect to Francis for being a true warrior!

[@damia6025]

Ngannou's story is certainly motivational. But I'm constantly amazed by how good his English is. He seems to be from the Francophone part of Cameroon, also going by his brother giving the interview in French. So it means in addition to building a career in MMA/boxing, he mastered another language. Anyone who has had to learn a new language as an adult will tell you, it is not easy.

[@andresmaldonado7356]

His story is inspiring

[@kolaporaimilawal4165]

Francis has the most impressive story in the entire combat sport, his story the persistent and consistent pursuit it unique, it shows that been persistent in anything you set your mind to accomplish you could accomplish it. He represents Africa struggles and drive in all form of life. I wish him success in all his endeavors.

[@adasint]

If somehow this comment reaches Mr Francis as well as the producers of this video, I would like to thank you for the tremendous amount of inspiration that I have received from Mr Francis. He is a true hero whose life serves as an inspiration for others to be strong. Thank you and God bless you.

[@Chris-hj2ym]

Amazing story thank you Brett

[@robbiemoon2207]

jeez man bless Francis I have 2 children both into adult hood and one grandson who is 2 1/2 couldn't imagine live without him it's a testament to how resilient fransic is after losing a child alot of people me included would probably give in
