I respect your work mate because, you are pointing people at the right direction. If there's one thing I have learnt recently, it's to remain calm, especially when it comes to investments in crypto currency.Learn not to sell in panic when everything goes down and not to buy in euphoria when everything goes up. I advise you all to forget predictions and start making good profit now because feature valuation are all speculations and guesses. The market is unstable and you can't tell if it's going bullish or bearish. While myself and others are trad!n without a fear of making lose. Others are being patient for the price of skyrocket. It all depends on the pattern you follow. I was able to make 6BTC from 2.1BTC in just September from implementing with trade tips and info from Brian Carruther on Facebook Investment is one of the quickest part to financial freedom,
He may be deadliest guy in ufc but i bet anyone would hangout with franis than cry baby conor McGregor or god fearing khabib their are some good fighters but no one ever want to hang out or friend with them on other hand francis seems like a humble dude
Francis Ganno was a beast and had a lot of potential. Too bad he didn't work as much on his skills as his first cousin Francis Ngannou who became the HW champ.
Watching these earlier fights . It's incredible how much Francis has improved . His defensive wrestling has gone through roof . He's patient and knows how to read his opponents incredibly well . He was always good now Francis great . Hey he's champ for a reason . Just watch his fights with Stipe and the improvements he's made from one battle to the next .
Even in this fight, he'd had more submission wins than KOs.. To me, I truly think his management & coaching convinced him to just stand-up & knock people's heads off.. Not smart to ignore ground skill's BUT, definitely got him noticed allot quicker.. Now we're gonna see a whole new monster ! He's gonna be slamming & smashing people like a giant African Khabib lol
@@mikefrost5481 I saw him attempt some wrestling in the second Stipe fight . He needed some serious offensive wrestling training after I saw that . Don't get me wrong even at that point he could definitely take down fighters with poor wrestling . If he turns into a graping machine great but as a fighter you always wanna do what you do best first . Then have those other tools available if things go south.
Ikr Ngannou skill is underrated, people say ngannou who fight stipe in the second is the most skilled version of him but honestly ngannou even has skill before the second stipe fight (except the rozenstruik fight) and he also very good counter striker. But yeah some haters (who already reply my comment) always try remind everyone about rozenstruik fight when he just wild swing without skill and ignore his other fight (when he didn't wild swing) and say his striking is poor or whatever, they always say this to ngannou and never say that to Derrick Lewis when he was the real one wild swing fighter
Watching Ngannou walk forward towards you like he does at 12:38 is one of the scariest thing you can experience… having said that, Henrique didn’t too bad against him, the dude didn’t look intimidated one bit, little did he know what Ngannou would be today.
@@reservoirfrogs2177 Bro are you drunk? Jones only came back to fight Francis. The fight was suppose to be FOR FRANCIS! Francis was so scared, they offered him the most pay in the UFC to fight Jones and he turned it down. He vacated his belt and Jon Jones beat the guy that gave Francis the hardest fight. Francis was fighting like once a year.
@@seanc7990 not even genetics!! If you see the kind of hard labor some people do here to make a living you will understand better. It's not uncommon to see shredded guys like that over here in Cameroon

@@bonk4225 yes, but they don't hit as hard harder than Francis Man literally has the record for the strongest punch Heavyweights tend to eat a lot of shots compared to lighter divisions If someone like Mark Hunt decided to fight him at his debut, best believe his legendary chin will get cracked to pieces due to him Anderson Silvaing Francis like he does with his other opponents
@@yourdaddy.956 I totally agree. Was just pointing out the fight would've been much more competitive or even possibly went the other way if they had a different ref
They shouldn’t have stopped it when Enrique had half gaurd on top, you can deal a lot of damage from that position... grappling is methodical and takes time he could have secure mount or a sub from there

@Kevin Forrest thank you. So it's not "Scottish" music then. It was written by James Horner for the film and performed by Enya. And it also seems like Horner ripped it off from a Japanese anime. th-cam.com/video/9R1fLHw0XT0/w-d-xo.html. So the guy saying it's disrespectful is just ignorant and racist.
@@cardiocain2122 I get what you said but I think he was technical in that fight coz that worked for him. He destroyed rozenstruik in seconds. That ain't just swinging, he knows what he's doing. Because, whoever says ngannou was terrible in that fight, gets knocked out by rozenstruik even faster.
Francis built different. Never seen a guy like him before in MMA with that kind of power and accuracy in both hands. Dude throws every type of punch with mad force from all angles!
@Ivey 96 exactly bro and it's cause he's black and Tyrone is a black name . The way it's really pronounced is Unique It's an easy name to remember . Mf Dana white still calls him TYRONE

@@megwasugoakukoiro-moonligh6387 if you appreciate fighting then it doesn't matter if the moves are used on you or not. In fact not appreciating them would probably be similar to disrespect.
I always liked Francis but after watching this film I have to say now I love the guy. Its true everyone has their story and we shouldn’t be afraid to tell ours, it might just give someone hope, courage, strength to keep on going knowing that once you have breathe in your lungs life is full of possibilities.
This card was one of the best. Kamaru Usman had his 1st fight after TUF, Luque was also fighting on this card, Charles Oliveira too. Francis Ngannou and Valentina Shevchenko made their debut on this card too.

Damn that is crazy! we couldnt even appreciate how great this card was at the time, so many legends past present and future I still cant get over it, 4 current champions all on the prelims has that ever happened before jeez
Its actually beautiful to see Francis and Joe meeting for the first time and him needing a translator then 3 years later he is speaking fluent english as a sports legend, as Joes good friend.
I remember when I watched this live and I just thought that Francis would be a star at the heavyweight. Another reason why you don't have to miss the prelims
@@youwantmyname9208 Of course , just like any fighter or athlete at the highest level , all I'm saying is that he was already a monster even before he started training
As soon as Henrique started breathing hard you could see the aggression leave him. If you gas-out against Ngannou, you’re in deep shit! Those are two massive dudes! A landed punch from either one and it’s lights-outs!
Watching great fighters in the early stages is fascinating. Their opponents aren't as intimidated as they are now. It proves that the mindset in fighting is as important as the skill set. Still ended badly, but dude wasn't scared of Francis.
And he actually lasted longer than almost all Ngannous opponents... 90 %of Ngannou fights end in the 1st round.... This guy took the fight to him... You right mindset is so important
@6:42 Dude, he had just gotten into half guard 44 seconds earlier... And he gave no warnings before standing them up either. At least he should say improve your position, fight for a finish, or something like that or I'll stand you up first. Every ref separation was questionable and they all clearly favored Ngannou. Great fight though.
@@GreenBoy51 It's UFC not WWE, it's about who's the best not who's the most entertaining. For me this fights isn't really a win for Ngannou, he was being dominated and he only got out because of the ref.
Imagine lasting more than 7 minutes before getting Knocked out against Francis and then quitting your MMA career thinking you're just trash cuz you lost to an amateur who trained MMA just for a few years and was making his debut.
Maybe he was sick of braindead Referees. Hes was clearly the superior Grappler and winning the fight, but the Ref keeps breaking them up. Can't get far as a grappler in low level MMA where the Refs don't understand the sport.
@@marwin4348 I don't think he stood a chance either way, but those were some bullshit calls. It felt like the ref was too self-conscious about the audience's opinion; as soon as they started booing, he split them up.
@@marwin4348 He wasnt doing anything with his position. When he was in sidecontrol in round 1 i was shocked they got stood up, but besides that it makes sense
The ref should not have stand them up at around 6:42 it wasn't necessary. It was not a stalemate and Ngannou look like he had a plan to getting the fight back to the feet.
Yep, from being taken down by Henrique, to stuffing one of the best wrestlers at heavyweight in Stipe, and not only stuffing it, but reversing it to land hard shots on the former champ. Really impressed with the improvement Francis has shown. So excited to see him face the most skilled striker in the heavyweight division in Gane (IMO) and see how that goes.
Massive dude that can strike at range. If he wasn't given all the chances with the stand ups and breaks he wouldn't have made it past this fight. There's always this professional wrestling element to ufc.
It's crazy you can see it in Henriques eyes after the very first time he gets tagged. The entire fight changed after he got touched once, he knew what was coming after.
@@StaticXtreme444 that isn't true, he went 2-3 in the ufc after this with losses to notable fighters like Ryan Spann and Tybura. He's 3-2 after leaving the UFC, had a 1-1 run in KSW and lost a split decision in a different organisation earlier this year.
20's is ancient to you? Some sports fans are more brainwashed about age and athletics than I thought. It's better that he started then. He's gets to start his career at an age when he's stronger and doesn't have the amount of wear and tear other fighters have by then so he gets to be even better when he's at a fighters best fighting years (30's)
@@deleting.chanel What are you talking about your body naturally wears down soon after you hit 30. All starting late does is slow down your career and give you less time to compete. Starting and building your skills younger rather than someone who started at 30 means you’ll be a better fighter this is common sense.
Props to everyone who agreed to fight ngannou because I won't fight this guy even for million or billions of dollars. I want to stay safe and I want to be alive 😄🙏

@@wsmith580 oh ok
The fight is 6 years old buddy, what do you expect :D
@@pierrebernard6469 stfu buddy. I like to see you speak Chinese
Watching great fighters in the early stages is fascinating. Their opponents aren't as intimidated as they are now. It proves that the mindset in fighting is as important as the skill set. Still ended badly, but dude wasn't scared of Francis.
And he actually lasted longer than almost all Ngannous opponents... 90 %of Ngannou fights end in the 1st round.... This guy took the fight to him... You right mindset is so important
@6:42 Dude, he had just gotten into half guard 44 seconds earlier...
And he gave no warnings before standing them up either. At least he should say improve your position, fight for a finish, or something like that or I'll stand you up first.
Every ref separation was questionable and they all clearly favored Ngannou. Great fight though.
This dude francis has one of the craziest life stories I've ever heard. It's such an inspiration to me, honestly.
Back when Francis was really known being called “The Predator” he’s come so far since then!
He looked like the predator then
ex homeless he comes from afar, he deserves this boy. he had 1 real run of fighters👏👏👏an example for the one who does not believe in these dreams✌🏼
One of my favorite fighters. Finishes almost all of his fights with K.O.
I love how we all took a moment to appreciate how badass that KO was 😂😂😂
Francis with his old hair really does make him look like a super alien assassin brought to earth to punish us lol
congratulations, now you know where his nickname came from
Ikr he looks intimidating with that hair, hope he come back with that hair again
@@cardiocain2122 he's balding
He more like from a game character
@@Naspletan the predator
Imagine Francis Ganno vs Francis Ngannou, it would be a mega fight!
Cyril Gane vs Francis Gano
@@eetfuk3571 Gano wins
The ref definitely helped Francis out in round one
that ref should be back to streetbeefs
ALOT OF REF HELP ON THIS ONE EVEN THO i root for the monster
Good ref , it was boring in the floor
@@GreenBoy51 thought so too
@@GreenBoy51 It's UFC not WWE, it's about who's the best not who's the most entertaining. For me this fights isn't really a win for Ngannou, he was being dominated and he only got out because of the ref.
Man this guy ganoo looks solid, Maybe he could give the champ Ngannou some serious problem..lol
Nah, Francis wins
The only real winner is the real Predator.
I cant believe i said his name right from the beginning and not 1 commentator did lol
@@pauldavis5518 it's ganno?
And en genou dude really looks like him is he ngannou long lost brother??
Waited his moment. Not wasting energy. His reach, accuracy and power were great!
Imagine lasting more than 7 minutes before getting Knocked out against Francis and then quitting your MMA career thinking you're just trash cuz you lost to an amateur who trained MMA just for a few years and was making his debut.
Luis fought after few years
Maybe he was sick of braindead Referees. Hes was clearly the superior Grappler and winning the fight, but the Ref keeps breaking them up. Can't get far as a grappler in low level MMA where the Refs don't understand the sport.
@@marwin4348 I don't think he stood a chance either way, but those were some bullshit calls. It felt like the ref was too self-conscious about the audience's opinion; as soon as they started booing, he split them up.
@@marwin4348 He wasnt doing anything with his position. When he was in sidecontrol in round 1 i was shocked they got stood up, but besides that it makes sense
He fought in 5 more UFC fights after this fight and then fought another 5 fights with the last being half a year ago
The ref should not have stand them up at around 6:42 it wasn't necessary. It was not a stalemate and Ngannou look like he had a plan to getting the fight back to the feet.
Look how flat footed Francis was. Just goes to show the type of environment he came from. Such a wonderful story. Inspiring.
Gano evolution to NGanou was great. A very intelligent fighter not just on the cage, he also learns to speak English that fast.
The fact they keep calling him Ganno is hilarious
That’s his twin brother Ganno he died in a car accident
@@bain8726 Ganno survived that car accident and transformed into Ngannou.
@@Alexander-vs2ee b
Kept*
That's because of his first words in english... - "God , no!"... So it's transformed in "ganno"... Учи матчасть!!! Йу ступид!!!
Impressive how far he’s come improving his skills, particularly his wrestling defense.
Not just his wrestling, his striking improved massively too. That's impressive coming from a guy who didn't do combat sports before his late 20s.
Yep, from being taken down by Henrique, to stuffing one of the best wrestlers at heavyweight in Stipe, and not only stuffing it, but reversing it to land hard shots on the former champ.
Really impressed with the improvement Francis has shown. So excited to see him face the most skilled striker in the heavyweight division in Gane (IMO) and see how that goes.
The Ref really helped ngannou in this fight.
Seriously could you imagine of they pulled khabib or oliviera or usman off after 20 seconds of grappling
@@ianmackenzie212 the coach would lose their shit.
That’s his cousin, G’Know
Thank goodness I wasn’t the only one who saw this !
@@SKSPORTS2002 not even close to what is considered inactivity in the majority of fights. You want to see only stand up go to kickboxing or MT
Who is here from Francis intereviw on the Jaxxon Podcast?
A heavy weight with that much power throwing like a 6-8 piece combo is just crazy
Bro it's damn crazy that guy he is powerful and fast
12:38 Francis lived up to his name "the predator" approaching slowly like no escaping
I mean that’s G’Know you’re talking about here
Did he walk out to Braveheart’s theme? 👏 the sound his punches make when they land is freakin scary man.
I ganno.
4:22 the strength on this man, keeping a grappler hands in place as a striker is impressive
This Ganno guy can be a real danger to the champ Ngannou. He also has that crazy power
Lol you’re funny as fuck 😂
😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂
a time when Francis had more subs than KOs😂😂 and damn he needed a translator back then!!!!
What are you on about lol
@@masudkhoa3861 he had 3 subs and 2 kos at that point
Wow, Luis Henrique is a crazy man, first coached the FC Barcelona and now fights Ngannou? Amazing
😭😭😭
Did he really coached the Barca ?
@@natjiadogs3232 🤣🤣 No
I came cuz from podcast in jaxxon podcast rampage Jackson
me 2
Coming out to James Horner's Braveheart score, pure awesomeness 👌
Yeah, pretty messed up, huh?
@@notme3686 why lol ?
I wish he still walked out to that score! It's a beautiful piece of music!
“FRANCIS GANO”
Francis has evolved a lot more than I thought.
He looks different out there these days
Was not expecting him to sleep him like that. Dudes been a beast since he entered the UFC most feared man in the octagon Forsure
Massive dude that can strike at range. If he wasn't given all the chances with the stand ups and breaks he wouldn't have made it past this fight. There's always this professional wrestling element to ufc.
If Henrique did anything with the dominant positions he had, the ref wouldn’t have needed to step in to separate them
Tell me you don’t know anything about MMA without telling me…
Henrique was stalling. That’s not fighting.
Imagine if this guy did MMA since a young age
It's crazy you can see it in Henriques eyes after the very first time he gets tagged. The entire fight changed after he got touched once, he knew what was coming after.
this was his face on his stool: 😳
After fight check-up:
Fighter: "How am I doc?"
Doctor: "Well, remember how your skull used to be attached to your spine?"
Where's Henrique now? Dude can wrestle
He retired after this fight
@@StaticXtreme444 that isn't true, he went 2-3 in the ufc after this with losses to notable fighters like Ryan Spann and Tybura. He's 3-2 after leaving the UFC, had a 1-1 run in KSW and lost a split decision in a different organisation earlier this year.
Hes in the garbage bin
Became a journeyman
read his shorts, that's where
12:06 Francis was pressing his chin against Luis's face. I don't see a lot of fighters do that, but in my mind I've always wondered why they don't.
Good eyeballs, I didn’t notice that.
Anyone else thinks Luis looks like a low-budget Cain Velasquez?
Sure… this guy did better than anyone against Ngannou in ufc other than stipe lol
Holy shit Gano made his debut at 29? That's ancient, makes his growth and rise to champ all that much more amazing
20's is ancient to you? Some sports fans are more brainwashed about age and athletics than I thought. It's better that he started then. He's gets to start his career at an age when he's stronger and doesn't have the amount of wear and tear other fighters have by then so he gets to be even better when he's at a fighters best fighting years (30's)
He was still young.
@@deleting.chanel he's getting up there 35 now about 3 more years. Daniel cormier didn't train striking till 31
@@deleting.chanel What are you talking about your body naturally wears down soon after you hit 30. All starting late does is slow down your career and give you less time to compete. Starting and building your skills younger rather than someone who started at 30 means you’ll be a better fighter this is common sense.
@@NoName-rm3db naturally aging and getting punched in the head for 10 years in your early 20s is completely different
I tried ignoring the "ganno" but during second round I gave up and laughed...😂😂😂
Props to everyone who agreed to fight ngannou because I won't fight this guy even for million or billions of dollars.
I want to stay safe and I want to be alive 😄🙏
Gimme 100k and I'l fight Ngannou with 15 minutes notice.
I'll let the referee putting in the work
@@zanardim1595 The referee: Mario Yamazaki. Hahahaha
@@zanardim1595 you will pay those 100k to doctors after the fight bro 😂
Id just swing and leave myself open so he uppercuts me and its over and done with In 3 seconds
@@faujihs8957 hahaha
14:53 Bruce the only one to say it right
Seeing him for the first time,he is catching up very soon with the best boxer.
Damn dude was ko’d for a few minutes, ngannou almost took his head off with that follow up shot
Looks like referee was told to keep this fight on the feet, Dana knew if Francis gets a KO win he will become a big PPV star.
First time i see this kind behavior from referee this is not ufc,this is k1
Henrique after first clash with Ngannou: Wait, something is wrong here.
Respect to Bruce Buffer the only one who pronounced Ngannou correctly.
