Francis Ngannou’s Childhood Story Makes True Geordie Emotional 

“Love is a feeling, respect is a duty” what a quote

Who’s watching this after Ngannou embarrassed Fury? Go on lad, did yourself extremely proud! 😊

The fact that Geordie went out of his way to get a better photo of potentially one of Francis’s only pictures with his dad speaks volumes of his character.Very wholesome content xx

Oh man. I’m Cameroonian and I’m speechless. The guy represents us so well on so many levels. God bless Francis.

Please god give Francis that Tyson fury money. He’s a pure soul and that genuine smile comes from simply not thinking about where his next meals coming from. What a great guy

Francis's story is so inspirational. Let him be an example that you can accomplish anything. Don't ever give up.

we need a film or a Netflix documentary about his story, the world needs to hear this!

He was alone,frustrated and penniless but he was determined to succeed.And now his arena is the whole world.Nothing but huge respect Francis.

I didn't expect Francis to be this nice and down to earth after seeing what he does in the octagon it's well deserved success 👏

Ngannou has like this child like presence to him, especially him asking what the app was at the end. Definitely a gentle giant.

What a man. Deep thinking, articulated killer. Incredible story.

Every athlete bangs the drum they come from nothing etc but this man literally did come from real poverty

Love is feeling , respect is duty - Francis Ngannou

That moment of silence from Francis when Geordie gives him the phone of his dad n him is something special. 👏🏾

And Dana has the audacity to call him greedy. Nuts

His voice is so soft and delicate, Ngannou seems to radiate wisdom and is very insightful. Very inspiring individual.

His story is a movie man I thought I am strong man who can’t tear down because of a story but this beast carries alot of emotions and memories which makes even the toughest man cry Not only that he also wise and a good example for inspiration

This man needs to make millions and millions cos you know he giving all back to the ppl that need it most TOTAL RESPECT ✊ FOR THIS MAN

he seems like a guy you can just hang out with and chat he has the true warrior spirit always seeking peace but ready for war

I’m amazed at how beautiful and humble he is about life. I can’t relate, my life wasn’t anywhere near as hard but I could imagine it would make you feel angry. Having things so hard. He is obviously a very tough man but comes across very humble. No bravado. To me feels a good role model to children everywhere.

Francis be Low key dropping Gems on this interview... He is already a Legend in the Making. It is only right a movie is made about him He is a modern day hero that inspires hope to a lot of people.

Francis has improved so much both on his personality and his fighting style. He had the will to learn to grapple and speak English and accomplished both those things.

What a legend, as a massive UFC fan it saddened me that they hadn't negotiated him better...hope he fights Fury and makes bank.

He looks exactly like his father and his pops looks in great shape good genetics mixed with hard work and determination

The man is pure humble. Had noting and now has the world at his feet .FairPlay to him he worked so hard.

From humble beginnings to taking on the UFC brass, this man is an inspiration.

Restoring his fathers picture for him was pure class geordie. Big respect for that fella

Francis is such a humble guy

this man is from the neighboring village of my grandparents and i am so proud of you my brother. You are our Hero. Greetings from Germany de ton frère de Banja🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲❤️

It's tough not to cry or be emotional through some of this. Such a candid, poignant look at his early life. Amazing work from TG and brave, open answers from Ngannou. So very happy for Francis. Great content

Everything is facts. Millions of us from Africa face this situation. I remember, at the age of 11 years old. I used to sell karozin to pay for my own school fees..them days was my worst days. No friends no play time, no food to eat. It was tough..

I'm 18 and since I was born, I always felt like a nobody, had a lot of fake friends and I was a troublemaker. I've been trying to to show people that I changed but this month, I decided to give up and focus on myself. I'm planning on starting boxing and muay thai this year.

From this to Saturday night! What a legend!!

He is such a beautiful soul. Francis ngannou came from nowhere...it is most definitely a true legendary story. A true champion. 🙂🙏

Ngannou is so cool and lovely guy...I respect him a lot and whish him all the best

Damn!!!! I love Francis is the most genuine person he deserves everything that’s happening for him!!

For me this is where Brian really shines, an excellent interviewer because he is genuinely interested and it clearly comes through.

When you see a man with such a gentle voice it’s usually because they lived through something pretty hard/traumatic

swear man...i could listen to dude all day. his joe rogan episode was something else...my fave ever. hade crying n all sorts. i wish him everything he prays for.

Jesus he's so articulate with the way he speaks, the guy is a legit wordsmith.

Love Francis. Very respectful guy.

The world is with you Francis you are not alone

Frances has an interesting calm and wise energy. You can tell he's been through alot and that experience breeds his calmness.

What a story. And what a personality. I wish him more success than he has already achieved.

My fellow Cameroonian brother,so proud to have you represent us this well Francis

Jeez, You have to love Ngannnu, the hardships that he has faced growing up, he is such a humble man, & he is dignified.

This man is an epitome of the saying 'Pressure makes Diamonds'.

What a journey for Francis Ngannou, from his difficult childhood in Cameroon working in sand mines to being homeless in France to becoming a global UFC superstar, absolutely inspirational 👏👏👏👏

I resonate with Francis Ngannou when he says he is not friendly but respectful coz I also enjoy being a loner but iam respectful and others think when iam that, they think they can be my friends but get disappointed when I resent the friendship coz they change opinion and think iam self centered and anti social. Private people like Ngannou and I are very difficult to understand coz when we respect people we are mistaken to be friendly but when we resent the friendship we are mistaken for antisocial and yet we just needs some privacy and love spending most of the time alone whilst respecting other peoples privacy and expecting to be accorded the some privacy in return.

Francis is the Gentleman of UFC. An absolute inspiration.

Francis is so genuine and good. You have to love this guy. I wish nothing but good for him.

I am happy Francis is improving in English knowing he is french speaking.. big up champ

Ngannou's story is Hollywood worthy

When francis started looking at the photo in detail a tear left my eye

Such a great human. Something made him so wise. His struggles, his upbringing, or lack thereof, this genes. Whatever it is, he is such an inspiration.

He deserves all the money and happiness.

Love is a feeling, but respect is a duty. 🙌🏾

13:26: "[my father] was there to show me maybe not the way to go but the way not to go". Deep.

Watched the original podcast but had to watch this again just for that ending. It was so wholesome

Damn, 'love is a feeling, respect is a duty'... I got that one

Here after he kicked Tyson Fury’s ass

Everybody salute now the BOXING LINEAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.

Love is a feeling but respect is a duty!! That’s powerful!!!

Hearing this guy is soothing to mind and it relaxes the mind and makes y appreciate life

What a man 🙌 big respect

Real wisdom earned beautiful person amazing story Francis is the truth

what a great interveiw !!! great respect to both men !!!!

I just stumbled on this interview. Great work man! That quote though - "love is a feeling, but respect is a duty"...wow!!

What a nice touch doing that photo for him mate. Top man ❤️

The face when he sees the photo is brilliant

Watching this after the fight.Brilliant interview!!

Nice work so that we could learn more about Francis. Great/relevant questions and you gave him plenty of time to respond...Much substance in your conversation.

Only ever seen him fighting but what a nice humble big guy he is.

Ngannou has the voice to read you a story book after he’s knocked you unconscious

Really inspired by this guy. Coming from the remotest of places and without proper formal education in English (correct me if I'm wrong) is speaking English fluently. More power to him.

Nice thing to do with the pic ..good on ya ...francis deserves all the respect in the world ...unity and peace to all

NGANNOU WISDOM IS SO UNDERATED....Remind me of the great Mohammed Ali.wisdom, definitely love this interview, raw, genuine , so whole and really impactfull...thanks a lot for the Video

The toughness and pains of life sometimes brings such humility ✨️ and grea strength with wisdom...Also a gentleness and softness ,rawness and genuiness...Notice this in Mike Tyson also both so huge ,powerful yet gentle & soft-spoken.

Love this guy. Also respect 2 true geordie for getting amazing guests.

The picture at the end wow ngannu looked emotional seeing that. Awesome

Love hearing stories like this penniless but never gave up what a credit to himself and Cameroon he is😊

Love this man. I think Fury does, too, hence the offer to fight him and give them (both) a big pay day. I reckon Fury will not want to beat him up mercilessly, but Francis will be dangerous. A tough one to call.

Ngannou should write his memoirs, would be extreamely interesting. Could also be made into a movie, would possibly sell better than the fight against Fury.

The calmness he portraits is so relaxing and chilling

One of the best podcasts i have ever watched

When they make a movie about this man, people won't believe it.

Awesome to watch this was and the picture at the end from true geordie was really thoughtful francis was taken back by that it was clear to see fair play

Am writing a novel called Francis Ngannou Robbed 😂

Such an incredible person, and to speak so brilliantly in a 2nd language is so impressive

Its amazing to see how emotional and introceptive this huge scary man. And here i am a wannabe tough guy who always thought that emotions are for weak people 😂

Respect for this man.

This man deserves all that comes his way!!!

Life struggles. Never give up people

Damn that was heavy...that metaverse line really lightened the whole thing up, that was genius.

What a story, what a man, truly a role model! Hope Francis wins against UFC and gets paid as he deserves.

These athletes that came from extreme poverty to the greatest of successes while keeping humble are the ones young athletes should emulate. Ngannou, Pacquiao, Maradona, Bolt, LBJ, Holyfield

Watching his journey since joining UFC I am in awe how far he has come. Inspires so many people around the world.

Geordie you're a legend. You were asking good and déep questions.🇿🇦

Big respect to this gorgeous guy… what’s he doing for the rest of my life? ;) loved this and thanks for sharing xx

Go Francis you are amazing 👏
