Francis has a crazy story. From homeless to Heavyweight champion and then getting millions when he went to boxing. Super sad he lost his baby son. Always will be a fan
Damn man .... I have a 3 year old son . And I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WILL I DO IF I LOST HIM..... How is he still continuing. I will probably kill myself or do something stupid dunno. Il not want to live anymore... Imagine how strong you have to be to not loose your mind,and still smiling.......
@@timmyOGlmao dude delete your comment. Your a clown. He celebrated after knocking down one of the greatest heavy weights of our time, thats after, Fury went on a boastful arrogant cocky rampage of a pre fight build up that was all initiated by Tyson Fury, he talked so much crap about how he will smoke him in the first two rounds and if he would have did that he would have done so much worse.

The last part of this episode where Francis talked about his son was a special thing and amongst the best part of the Rogan podcast for almost two decades now.
Francis calling himself a "lucky guy" when he literally grew up in abject poverty and had to earn everything with his bare hands really speaks to his level of gratitude. If anyone has the right to label themselves a victim for being dealt a poor hand in life, it's him, but he's still so appreciative despite all the hardship. Truly one of the most inspirational rag-to-riches success stories.
And got viciously knocked out and sacrificed a potentially great legacy in MMA where he would've still had more more money than he knows what to do with!
Do you have the memory of a goldfish? He arguably beat Tyson Fury, one of the great heavyweight boxers, in his professional debut, and in his 2 boxing fights combined, he made more money then he would have made in 5 UFC fights, he went against the UFC and Dana White, and won.@@wheatley9601
@@wheatley9601 but set up MMA facilities/contest for a whole continent. Don't get lost on the small details that only matter to you and people that think like you. He still moving like a king out here.
@wheatley9601 lol that's why Dana is considering a cross promotion fight right now. Some people like being controlled by a master. Others detest it...😊
This guy has had some rollercoaster of a life. Grows up in a village in Cameroon working in the sand mines as a child. Leaves home and has to cross the desert multiple times to get to Europe. Lives as a homeless person in France. Eventually makes it to the UFC, becomes Heavyweight champion then leaves despite people telling him he’s making a huge mistake. Signs with PFL then secures a boxing match with Tyson Fury and almost beats him. Makes more money in one fight than his whole career. Is on top of the world. Takes another boxing match and gets brutally KO’d. Then his son dies. The Francis Ngannou movie is gonna win somebody an Oscar.
Grows up in a broken family, his father engages in fights with random villagers, rediculed by his peers as a result of his family status and poverty add to that.
He beats the greatest lineal boxing heavyweight champion of all time, who is named after a boxing legend Mike tyson, but the boxing mafia DOES not give him the win.. That's another tragedy but still beautiful because Francis realized alot of success from it and the people said he won. It's a wild wild tragically poetic life up until just this point. 2024.
I lost my daughter almost 6 months ago at age 14. Nothing will ever come close to adversity we've faced amongst this hell on Earth of losing a child. There is hope after loss and Francis is a role model for every single person on this planet. God bless you Francis your story is beyond inspirational, keep sharing it the world needs hope.
Francis reminds me of a friend I lost touch with from the Republic of Congo. His soft spoken African French English was very pleasant. He was a kind spirit. I hope Arnaud is happy with his family living a good life.
No words for how inspiring Francis is. His life story. His human nature. His soul. His way of speaking. His humour. His humbleness...And his sad loss. Man, what a true legend. This podcast might even be a turn in my life. You cannot be the same after hearing this whole thing
It’s amazing that the same man who has this beautiful voice and story is the greatest fighter of our time. I’m tearing up over here listening to his story of his son. Thank you Francis for sharing with us
What a gentle and sweet man. Yet a dangerous warrior. Listening him speak about his baby boy was soul crushing. Wish him the best, he will see his little buddy again.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen Francis interviewed and he seems like a really good guy. That has been through some unbelievable stuff. Definitely a person that is easy to root for. Very sorry that he lost his son.
I'm glad Francis gets to speak on such a huge platform. He's much smarter than people give him credit for. He sees things in a very realistic way. Always liked him since his first fight in the UFC.
I’m the biggest AJ fan . I went to his last fight with Francis and I gotta admit. When FRANCIS said the fight started late ppl said he making up excuses. But the fight really started late around 3:00 am . I was and the crowd and I was already tired . Imagine the fighters how they feel . But he was hell of a fighter salute to him. ❤
And to add to your idiotic thinking, the reason you are tired because you are sitting in one seat the entire room while nganou was in the free to move around. He can sleep, nap, eat, and do whatever. You can’t. lol. You can’t pull out a bed and take a nap. lol. Man, people like you are idiots for even comparing your spectating circumstances with that of Ngannou.
Ngannou was supposed to be the baddest man on the planet. Walked halfway across Africa. Hard as nails, but only between certain hours of the day? Joshua had to fight at 3am as well remember.
Being a die hard boxing fan I can tell you that Francis is officially a real boxer. To be a real true boxer you need to blame your losses on anyone but yourself. And you get a gold star for blaming it on a conspiracy.
Joe shows a lot of respect and grace when Francis talks about his son. Processing things like that can happen live when you talk about them and it can be hard to listen to. It felt like watching a real human moment rather than a show.
The last 30mins took me through an emotional roller coaster. As a father I can't even imagine going through how much pain he must be in. Hats off to you my man.
Francis is such a beautiful person. We idolise so many idiots in this world but he is such a true genuine hero. I feel so heartbroken for all the hardship and pain he endured and he is so strong. This is truly what we should aspire to be like ❤️
Francis, while being at my lowest in life and thinking I had stop feeling emotion.. you made me cry like a kid. Hope this story helps any future parents in protecting their beloved ones. I pray in you seeing Kobe when the time has come, along with your family. Thank you for lifting me up.. the rest is from me.
Man. What a great interview. It hit hard towards the end too. People don’t even know what that man is going through. Deep stuff. Wish him the best and anyone else on here going through it.
This is a man with conviction, drive, humility and kindness at the same time. A true role model for every young lad out there. God bless you Francis Ngannou, may the soul of your son rest eternally in peace with our Lord ❤️
This man has been through so much man. As a new parent, I can’t even imagine what would happen to me if I lost a child. RIP Kobe. Say ‘hi’ to Mamba for us.
Man that was heavy, Francis talking about his son like that was mind blowing hes thinking exactly what you would think in your worst dream. What a man he is and its like a tribute to Coby too putting him out there in the universe and hopefully helping anyone else going through such a hard time ❤
I'm hugging my son extra tight from now on I'm so sorry for your loss Francis your are in my prayers the way you spoke about your son and are handling it is the bravest toughest thing you have ever done💯
A man.. A champ.. A Father... Francis thank you for showing us small glipse in your long journey. I hope you bring everything you ever wanted to africa and it's people. RIP KOBE 🙏
Francis got me emotional. As a fatger of 10 months baby boy i cant imagine pain inside him! Respect to people like him for finding power in themselves to keep living and becoming better after what he had to go through 😔😔😔 Rip to the little Kobe !
i know he doesnt see himself as a teacher. but his story is inspirational and this definitely one of my fav JRE shows. love and empathy god bless you Francis Ngannou
The positive energy pouring out of this man is nothing short of miraculous. With what he's been through in life, especially recently, to be here speaking to the positive potential of humanity, it's so refreshing and inspiring
It's really nice to see him get payed. The dude really deserves it, he took a big chance on himself since the start. From leaving his home to working in the Sand Mines and getting involved in one of the toughest sports. Glad the man getting payed. Well Earned and deserved. 🙌
This man is so humble and his story is so encouraging and heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one!! So much respect for you Francis and very sorry to hear of your loss but, if anyone can come back with a new fuel behind them you are that man!! 💯🙌✌️💚💪🙏
The last 30m of this pod are one of the most emotional moments of conversation we've heard on this pod. Francis is one hell of an individual and I hope he finds happiness with his family.
Damn how much pain can a man endure in life? this has caused tears in my eyes, this man Francis Ngannou has pure heart and very strong not just physically but mentally, true Champ in and out of the ring.
My son is almost 1 year old. Damn, I don't even want to try to imagine that this cheerful little fella wouldn't be around me anymore. Sorry for your loss and good luck Francis.
I don't often comment famous people but FRANCIS WHAT A LEGEND I HONESTLY WISH HIM MORE AND MORE SUCCESS HE'S NOT ARROGANT DOESN'T RACE BAIT HE'S PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE DONE. GOD BLESS YOU FRANCIS ❤💪

Saddest end to a JRE podcast ever.
And the realest. These hard things are also part of the human experience.
Man Francis is one brave lion. How he kept it together is amazing. I lost a child few years back and any memory triggers me so badly.

God bless you Francis. Great conversation, Rip Kobe.
Sorry for your loss Francis. Thank you for sharing your story. The kobe story was very touching.
It's crazy how someone who's such a beast in the ring/cage can have such a calm relaxed personality, even his voice is soothing 😂
What do you do in your life? what do you wanna be? I hope everything goes well for you.
i know he doesnt see himself as a teacher. but his story is inspirational and this definitely one of my fav JRE shows. love and empathy god bless you Francis Ngannou
The positive energy pouring out of this man is nothing short of miraculous. With what he's been through in life, especially recently, to be here speaking to the positive potential of humanity, it's so refreshing and inspiring

Powerful how someone is so mentaly strong after being through so much but you have to keep fighting, keep on hammering Francis. R.I.P. Kobe Nganou.🙏
Mann Ngannou is a true warrior especially after losing his son. He’s strong not to shed a tear.
Such a soft spoken and humble f', killer. What a crazy life story he's had so far, how can you not be a fan?
Francis gets nothing but respect
It's really nice to see him get payed. The dude really deserves it, he took a big chance on himself since the start. From leaving his home to working in the Sand Mines and getting involved in one of the toughest sports. Glad the man getting payed. Well Earned and deserved. 🙌

Respect to Joe for putting Francis back on the spotlight.
Francis you’re a hero!
This guys English has improved so much over the years it’s really cool to see as an English speaking fan.
One of the greatest fighters ever with insane power, and yet, he's extremely soft spoken and insightful person.
One of the good guys in sports for sure
Francis is the chill out final boss
The last 30m of this pod are one of the most emotional moments of conversation we've heard on this pod.
Francis is one hell of an individual and I hope he finds happiness with his family.
Damn how much pain can a man endure in life? this has caused tears in my eyes, this man Francis Ngannou has pure heart and very strong not just physically but mentally, true Champ in and out of the ring.
My son is almost 1 year old. Damn, I don't even want to try to imagine that this cheerful little fella wouldn't be around me anymore.
Sorry for your loss and good luck Francis.
