That statement needs to be more relevant to everyone. I remember being at that point in a psyche ward after some tough military shit and asking myself something similar. I think mine was along the lines of "is this what life is now? I made it out of that shit storm alive only to be miserable for the rest of my days? Nah, fuck that." I started to actually listen to the process, accept that I wasn't weak for needing help, and stopped taking all the stop gap drugs that doctor's love to shovel into people's mouths to numb them rather than help them try to fix the problem. I was told after my first trip to the psyche ward that my functionality in "normal life" was going to be severely hampered. After the 2nd trip they had all but given up on me. Saying the equivalent of "he's lost. If someone isn't taking care of him, he will end up homeless on the street and likely dead within a year." It took until that 3rd trip, about a year and a half of solid misery, a divorce, and losing everything before I asked myself that question and I'm glad I did. That hole I crawled out of was about 10 years ago and I haven't looked back once. There are some situations that are unavoidable. Some people are born with shit hands and others don't play their cards right and end up with shit hands because of their choices. If there's one thing I've learned throughout the entire process, it's that your mindset makes all the difference. The choice to change is always just a few thoughts and questions away. Some roads are harder than others but the choice to dig yourself out is always there.

It shouldn't be about giving up or not. It is absolutely fucked that some people are born to suffer in the same country as those who live in mansions, or where medicine exists but they can't have it because they cannot pay for it. Francis managed to find a way out, and that is just as much luck as determination. Many children have accidents in those working conditions, his mother was obviously determined to look after him, he didn't contract a life altering, or ending, disease. He didn't give up, no, but he shouldn't have had to struggle through that in the first place. I would hope that documentaries like this, and people like FN who escaped from those situations to find success, will lead to a change there, but it won't.

Oli DR it’s not fucked at all. Different souls need different experiences to grow into their potential. Life is about constant growth not comfort and stagnation. Francis was strong enough to overcome his circumstances and turned them into a blessing instead of a curse. He is an example to everyone he influences of what is possible. No one can help another person change if the person doesn’t want to change themselves.

seriously, very inspirational the guy's not bitter or thinks the world owes him. He's hard working, sharp and has character.

@@neossiss Children shouldn't have to do manual labor. There is much nobility in overcoming it. But there is no nobility in it existing in the first place.

GoodGirlKate it says he’s the best heavyweight to ever do it. No shame in coming up short against Stipe

At least facing Francis in the cage is a quick death.

THE scariest man on the planet tbqh

Fighters are lucky he has the nice guy in him. If he was a savage he'd kill someone.

That's alot of fighters like gathje dos Santos Cain Velasquez Cormier Frank mir

Yeah man, yeah!

Beautiful

Man. That's a movie level line right there

I hope Francis knows that God answered his prayers & fulfilled his dreams of a man strengthened by God to inspire more kids than he ever hoped for. Francis said he was always dreaming about a man that would come and through inspiration make a difference in his life as a kid but unfortunately that man never came, but Francis didn't realize that man didn't exist yet & God knew He needed to create a miracle so much bigger than a dream to inspire one little kid that God sent Himself as Francis's guide & mentor inspiring him every day to become the very man Francis prayed for for himself, he needed to become the man he dreamed for in order to inspire not just one kid but millions of kids, & not just in Africa but kids around the entire world for decades to come. God sent Francis to be the man of his dreams to inspire kids everywhere forever....

​@@Comin_at_U_Live🙃 so...is He cherrypicking who He listen?🤔

All of them except Francis

Cream rises to the top... Africa isn't packed with these dudes hahaha

@@Logan-zv4xg I don't mean Africa. I just mean people all over the world who have the potential and never have the chance

Imagine the level of sports would be at if we could recruit kids for their respective sport in each country by their genetic talent

@@rp-wn5or that would be mental

Yeah I feel like after the Miocic fight he stopped being overconfident, and focused on fighting. Idk if he’ll be champ if stipe is still on top after the dc fight, but he definitely could be champ on the future, especially since heavyweights age pretty well

@@enanlee3434 he'll get that strap one day! But I agree not when a gangster like Stipe is holding that strap lol

@Mejo classy as hell man

@@abtwopoint0 i mean it's totally possible Francis takes the rematch, his major problems were his cardio, weight and escapes off his back and he's improved at least 2 of those thing since

Dc and Stipe are both on the way out, even if he doesn't beat them. After that, I don't see who stops him

Francis Magumbo

😂😂😂😂

Magumba Ongayu and Jason Galaboop whatever his fucking name is xD

On Joe Rogan? I need to c that.

@@thefacelessquestion3333 It wasn't on Joe's podcast. However, if you search for "Humbled Ngannou" the clip is at the end of the video.

Best time of the day then!

Same

Facts my g

On everything!!

I swear that's why I clicked on this too cool thought knowing I wasnt the only one lol

I do unless he's fighting stipe

Hes so devastating that whoever hes fighting is automatically the underdog. I feel really bad for his victims so it's kinda hard for me personally to root for him, that's how devastating he really is.

Francis is one of the coolest, most respectful and humble guys in MMA and, simultaneously, the most insanely powerful and terrifying UFC Heavyweight fighter ever! Following his unsuccessful title challenge against Stipe we’ve been huge fans, cheering him on for every fight! Truly is the.... #UncrownedChamp

@@HOLDFASTBEAR you don't want to root for Francis as he chases his dream because he's "devastating" his opponents? Lol what

​@@xdmobb17x17 STEPE'S DONE!..........Francis's time now!

Vault boy made it into smash as a costume haha

🙏🏽

Mike Tyson made that point when Ngannou was on his podcast. People from where he comes from wish they had grown up in the worst slums in America.

Tony B you couldn’t hid your hate for African Americans haha. Just appreciate Francis story and you sneak in your vinegar and bitterness. Everyone views their perceived struggle from their experience and the society they live in and it’s available resources .

I'm homeless but yeah

But without the protein shakes

Because Stipe humbled him. Before the Stipe fight, he was extremely cocky. Not his fault though, the UFC hyped him up too much.

@@Chris-yr6io I agree, I remember that, that loss made him better fighter and humbled him

I’m glad he lost to stipe so he remains humble from now on, and his goal isn’t to become a cocky arrogant champion, it’s to become a humble one, a more accurate reflection of him, that cocky shit wasn’t him, that was him trying to make money ala Conor McGregor. I think he’s a likeable person because he was raised by his mum, most mama boys are nice people with big hearts.

@@Chris-yr6io as well as the lewis fight. Made it obvious he was broken. And he came back. The fact that he came back better is a testament to his greatness

@@1Leggo9my9Eggo2 crime stats would disagree with that sediment

And Kodak. And Circuit City. And MySpace.

Acting tough on the accomplishments of greater men .

Chin made of glass. Glass cannon by definition

I heard his sponsor is weak it's like not even having a sponsor!

This related with me so much....✌🏾. 😂... But know that Africa is fighting strong to express ourselves to the world.

He promotes the fighters better than the UFC

yeah I wish they were weakly and an hour long. Hes the best IMO

We all stay winning with this channel

They really are m8 some of the best content around on youtube

Every African I have met is multilingual. Every one.

Multiple contenders? Only DC is worthy tbh. Stipe whooped Francis who is the only one worthy of a rematch. The division is weaker than all others. All the top talent is getting old and not any real newcomers in the division yet. Curtis Blaydes says he is worthy but Francis whipped him twice. The UFC needs to find new heavyweight talent imo.

@@evanodum563 Spot on with your assessment E. Odum. Very true.

Absolutely Dreadful pillow fist DC? Hahahahaha sorry hard man didn’t know you were the decider when it comes to having punching power you absolute tank ahahahahash

Absolutely Dreadful imagine being comfortable calling a better man pillow fists ahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha you embarrassing mess of a boy.

@@evanodum563 Dc and Stipe are already set to fight. Not only do we have to wait for them. But after that Ngannou gets the winner. So he has to stay out for the next few months after the fight and recovery. Then after that next could either be a rematch or a new contender. If it comes down to a new contender Blaydes will get the shot. Which is even more time for him to wait. The division is pretty much on hold right now which is the point I am making.

Arthritis waiting to happen

true, his opponents don't feel shit.. they just hear about what happened..

It looked like he was fucking that dude up in the body suit. I dont think he hits them like that without cameras around otherwise he wouldnt have people to do that with.

Those knee jesus I would puke getting them over and over

Congrats your guy is champion now. I'm so happy for him.

He did 🤩🤩

😂😂😂😂

Would have knocked Overeem spark out.

He was telling his mates he knocked him out

Don't worry, we'll send a search party to the outer atmosphere.

Astonishing not having heard of him. He is definitely one of the more well known fighters and he did get a lot of hype (justified) . Any ways, if you like seeing people get knocked sparked out, he is definitely one to watch for. Massive and extremely explosive. Just steer clear of the Derrick Lewis fight. That did not live up to it's potential 🙂. Not saying he has the hardest punch in the world, but he has the hardest recorded punch in the world. Any ways happy days, I was just surprised that somebody watching MMA hadn't heard of him.

It's great to see someone admitting to be a 'casual' and not seeing it as some kinda insult like all the armchair critics that love to talk shit! We're all new to something at some stage,you're in for a cool journey if ya keep your interest up..peace out dude✌

Big rock, eh?

The first paragraph of your comment is bang on the mark.

I'm 31 can I be a astronaut?

@@k1llmoore580 1 Im 31 also, can I be a psychologist? or am I now over the hill & better off giving up lol

Beckie Palmtree Pretty sure you can always attempt to continue your education, it’ll just take a bit for you to become a psychologist.

@@beckiepalmtree1383 yours is attainable lol ....my example is not giving my education and no knowledge of anything that would help me become a astronaut lol

His career is still young

Doing it for survival, is different then a fucking 'fitness' thing.

Why you wanna see a video of a black man rubbing and talking about crystals?

He hasn't really done much yet. After October 24th we'll know how good he is

Ha ha! That is fuckin' hilarious!

Really? Did u guys spar alot

​@@dd6055 Yes few times , the last time i spar with him was in September 2019

@@rush7313 that's awesome, I hope ur chin is still intact after those sessions lol. Takes some balls to spar with the p4p hardest puncher in the world

@@dd6055 I hope too lol , Thank ! i sparr one time with Cyril Gane i dont know if you who is he and this guy hit like a truck !

Well the problem is, who's gonna play him?

@@megamanxhunter a cgi monster!

TA D I think if stipe Francis fight again it’ll be a different fight. Last fight he let the fame get to him, wasnt training seriously, and just living the life of a rockstar when the ufc was pushing him hard. After stipe humbled him I think he learned a lot from that loss and would take it much more serious this time around. But who knows maybe stipe would still grapple tf outta him and win the fight
