The Daily Show x MMA is the mash-up I never knew I needed. So many of these fighters have amazing stories. Thank you for giving him this platform to share his story.
Francis had me rolling, on Mike Tyson's hotboxin'. Someone asked, "do you feel bad for hitting a guy after he's knocked out?" Francis said: actually, I think Herb Dean deserves performance of the night 👟💨🤣💀
people dont understand what Francis is saying. He was not just poor, he was the poorest kid around so that the other kids in school made fun of him for being even poorer.
As an African I can relate. As an adult , I reflect on those experiences and laugh 😂 over it. Can’t blame the kids that made fun of me, it’s ironic and funny at the same time.
@@freegalsen5556 He did not say that Africa is a country so your "correction" makes no sense. Also, Cameroon is poor because of many reasons, one of them being corruption but that's definitely not the only reason.
Thank you Francis for reminding people struggling with their lives to never give up. Sure there are plenty youths who were in a similar situation as you in Cameroon and abroad who gain inspiration from your story. Edit: And congrats on retaining your belt!
1:04 funny but straight up truth! This shows that Francis's is down to earth and about the realness of life. Whilst our kids are complaining about not getting their fav cereal he was breaking rocks! Now the Rock talks to him. what a guy!
I really root for him, hes a amazing fighter but also a very sweet person. His life story is pretty much similar to Glover Teixara also, the lows are massive lows but the top is glorious. Best of luck today Ngannou!
Francis is a true hero back here in Cameroon thank you for shining the light of the nation , i also hope people like you can use their voice to speak for the all African youths ,who are so underrated and abandoned to themselves jobless and lack of basic necessities.
There needs to be a movie based on his journey not only towards being a UFC Champ but how he fought all those adversities in life and to be where he is right now is the ultimate testament of being the true Champ in life more than being the champ in UFC.
Never cared for MMA. But read yesterday an article about his fight with Gane on the french newspaper Libération website. Let's just say that the article wasn't really Nice for Francis, to say the least. Happy to have stumbled upon this interview to give me another view of him !
If you watched the press conference, you would see how Francis handled the French journalists amazingly. No world champion gets that much massively dismissed
Francis probably denied french nationality and keep his cameroonian identity. Untop of that he beat their "french champion" Gane. All the reason why they feel so irritated. The french have always been like that unfortunately. They make you a villain if they cant get you
Francis was extremely poor. Imagine being from a poor Country, in one of the poorest regions, living in one of the poorest villages and poor kids around you making fun of you for being so poor. It's crazy. This is a true story of rags to riches.
Im very proud as An African to see Africans being recognized worldwide for their talents from afrobeat to tv presentation football etc, one love NIGERIA
Scrolling TH-cam and seeing y'all having Francis on was a complete surprise, and I'm all for it. There's some great stories from great fighters in MMA, I'm glad to see at least one of them being brought to a mainstream audience. Looks like this interview was posted sometime on Friday; Francis went on to defend his heavyweight title in an unexpected fashion later on Saturday night. edit* posted 3 days ago, not 2.
Trevor thank you very much for making this interview with Francis, I've been longing to just hear someone pronounce his surname correctly 😀. I knew you'd do this justice and you did.
Thank you Noah for everything you have done for us in highlighting our Heroes. Sincerely, Africa. And Thank you USA for the opportunity accorded to Noah and Francis.
Francis is a legend. His background, his journey, his personality, everything, is something I resonate with. Being an African myself (Nigerian) you don't see too many people when they get to the top they remember to carry others along but he is different. He is so humble despite his accomplishment. This is why He is My motivation, My Idol and My Mentor.
I have been watching these two apart for years To see you two together is just beautiful Thank you Trevor for bringing our champ here Luv from Cameroon.
Am just happy knowing that must interviews of this sort took place before the fight. Ahead ahead Champ and thanks Trevo for the great interview. Am Cameroonian and very proud and further inspired by our champ 😍
Same here, but watching this from Trevor's father's country (Switzerland)! 😊 Makes me feel so proud for young men back home to have such an inspiring, humble yet powerful role model. Obosso! 🇨🇲👌🏾✨
ı am proud to be a cameroonıan, the world should not be afrıad of those who want to travel to other countrıes, all we need ıs a chance to prove our mıght,
@@risingrocksfarm never mind. I was too quick to stereotype struggling as poverty. Hence, my comment knowing that Trevor didn’t come from poverty. Giving it some more thought, I see that I’m very wrong. Growing up on the “wrong” side in an extreme racially biased society is clearly a struggle.
Trevor was creating room for fun when he said they both have the wildest punches in the world, I guess Francis didn't quite understand that. Great show Trevor, two respectful humble Africans from South Africa and Cameroon. Africa is gifted, one love my African legends.
Francis embodies both the scariest fighter in the world and one of the most genuine and kind individuals in sports. Absolute living legend 🙌
Btw you will see that with alot of Africans they are very strong but hummable and kinda like a kid

Amen
Yesssss I have been waiting for MMA I interviews!
Absolutely- these guys have amazing stories.

The man is a true inspiration. The Most underrated champion in the UFC. Him, Usman and Izzy are pride of Africa - three champs
Izzy is not African though. He is from NZ with African roots
@@ssissigui8846 lol, He is not African born Yes
@@xaviermehrez3207 buy I think that he competes for nz
The Big Three
@@ssissigui8846 yeah ….he only carry’s the Nigerian flag proud and high because he loves NZ so much 🙄🙄
He beat his toughest opponent - himself, over 5 rounds and proved that he can win with cardio and wrestling and an injured knee. What a guy!
As a Nigerian, I don’t care which African country he is from, as far as I’m concerned, he is Nigerian. We love you Ngannou
One Africa, one people
No be lie, i am Cameroonian and i can die for Naija too
That is the right mentality all African must have at this time. I am Cameroonian by the way, but I love my Nigerian brothers
I am South African..wonderful comment brother👏👏🙌
Naija and Cameroonians have always shared a wonderful relationship... I once dated a Cameroonian ..... Wonderful experience!!
Francis Ngannou is the man, so humble, respectful, and an absolute destroyer in the octagon, thanks for having him on the show 👏🙌😃
I did not expect him to speak English this well.. Wow
He is one of the thousands reasons I am proud to be Cameroonian 🇨🇲
Francis needs a book written about him.
Its for sure on the way.... a whole movie/mini serie
I'd love to do that
Ok say no more. here’s a mini documentary about his humble journey from Cameroon .thank me later th-cam.com/video/0JPqV9ees6I/w-d-xo.html

This brother deserves to have a book written about him. He is such an inspiration.

Soft spoken beast. The man is ruthless and humble at the same time.
1:04 funny but straight up truth! This shows that Francis's is down to earth and about the realness of life. Whilst our kids are complaining about not getting their fav cereal he was breaking rocks! Now the Rock talks to him. what a guy!
We saw Francis in November and he is a down to earth, friendly guy just mingling with the crowd that swamped around him once they noticed who he was.
His story about looking up to The Rock, finally meeting him and The Rock texting him... leaving him voice note is priceless.
I can only imagine!
Ah yes the Rock the creator of the child molesting robot. What a guy.

Thank you Francis Ngannou for making us Cameroonians and Africa proud
I hope our young people learn and get inspired by this brother.
This man has been a revelation.. Will be a shame if UFC doesnt offer a better contract
I really root for him, hes a amazing fighter but also a very sweet person. His life story is pretty much similar to Glover Teixara also, the lows are massive lows but the top is glorious. Best of luck today Ngannou!
Pride of Africa. Respect from Tunisia 🇹🇳 🇨🇲
What a beautiful heart he has.
Francis is a true hero back here in Cameroon thank you for shining the light of the nation , i also hope people like you can use their voice to speak for the all African youths ,who are so underrated and abandoned to themselves jobless and lack of basic necessities.
Rich speech!! I'm sure Ngannou has lived most of his childhood days with elders in Africa.
There needs to be a movie based on his journey not only towards being a UFC Champ but how he fought all those adversities in life and to be where he is right now is the ultimate testament of being the true Champ in life more than being the champ in UFC.
Thanks Trevor for putting the spotlight on Ngannou Francis 🇨🇲. Congratulations Ngannou for defending the title again. #proudofwhoweare
