Francis Ngannou was born into extreme deprivation in Batie, Cameroon on September 5, 1986. At UFC 260 on March 27, 2021, "The Predator" became the baddest man on the planet, defeating Stipe Miocic, and becoming the UFC heavyweight champion.
His hometown was impressed.
nice
I love shit like this.
LOL
Fantastic!
That is awesome.
But I’m more amazed that they can get cable in the area, ESPN Plus, and a PPV.
Dang that was awesome. I remember the interview after this when Nyganno was talking about all the doubters in his life. Looks like nobody is doubting him again.
sgotwalks -I love shit like this.
Me too.
That was dope. Talk about rags to riches.
Just give me masvidal flatlining usman and Francis crippling Jones and I'll die happy
And I wasn't root against stipe btw...... I really thought it was going to be the same as the first fight
His story is really amazing. I watched the Joe Rogan show when he was on it. What persaverance. Just an amazing story. I've never been so happy to see a fighter who is a act win the title. I really think they perhaps Netflix should make a movie about his life. Very happy for him and props to Stipe for being a true champion as well. Jones better come up with a dam good game plan to beat this guy.
So cool thanks for posting this.
It must have been damn late there too.

I watched a show about his upbringing but I will have to find that JRE episode.
