Legit was not expecting this much Francis hate in the comments. Funny cause before the AJ fight everyone was meat riding dude like crazy, Pretty wild what one bad loss will do to the public's perception of you lol
@@sinclairj7492 nah this is what boxing fans are know for lol 😂😂ufc fans will shit on you but you gotta do sum real stupid shit like I mean stupid to make us question wtf is wrong with said fighter
@@notorioussimcard6785 but he won the title with that brute force elbow and lost the next 2 fights. His techniques failed him whereas his brute force didn’t
@@VictorLugosi he was underpaid, not promoted enough; he reigned for over 10 years, I don't even know if what you're saying is true idk why you feel so amazing disrespecting and adding to erasing his legacy Whatever you think, he's still the GOAT
@@shumanisimeli6046 History: The South African bearers of the surname Du Plessis trace their origin to Jean Prieur du Plessis, a French Huguenot who arrived in the Dutch Cape Colony via the Netherlands in 1688. He is recognized as a French Huguenot ancestor by the Huguenot Society of South Africa.
Human body is just like any other type of machine or computer if you keep running it nonstop at a high level is going to burn out gotta turn off and let it cool down and rest every now and then, Wouldn't be surprised if Izzy Mops up Dracus in under 2rds
Y’all both right, he got knocked out came back and lost to a guy he should’ve demolished. Strickland ain’t better than Whittaker. But Izzy needed an oil changed
Just going through the comments and wonder how people are so emotionally invested in sports. Lighten up, jeesh! These are just athletes but over and above all else, they're human beings, like everyone else. Can the hatred and enjoy the sport for what it is- entertainment.
It's like people are competing for the most liked comment these days ... even if it means to fake hate ...I would understand if we got paid per like but we don't so I dont get it too
There’s threads with 100+ comments of people arguing where the fighters are from and if they had a privileged upbringing or not… so fucking weird, not sure when it turned into this
I mean he answered the question earlier in the video and dude asked it after he already asked a mid question. These interviewers are cheeks with their questions
Great interview, He looks focussed, people forget he knocked out one of the scariest dudes after 3 losses, not many can say that... looking forward to this fight card.... lets go Izzy, Hangman, and Don't Blink :)
Floyd M is the most hated boxer and got millions from ppv because people love to see him triggered and people tune in to see him lose. Izzy vs Strickland did very well and we got our dose of dopamine when Strickland won
Hardcore MMA fans watch every video and every event. That's why. MMA fans speak their mind positive or negative. Sorry if that offends you. I hear the soccer season is starting soon. Maybe you could go watch that.
Engage is the best fight gear ever known to man kind, I'm blessed to have the gear I have thru Engage to train and spar with, I hope you get your title once again Izzy. Your a goated middle weight in my book.
Did i miss something? Did they remove Francis' fights from the UFC library & aren't his records available to everyone? Otherwise it'd be foolish to think that they'll include Francis in new promo packages when he's actively competing & an ambassador in a rival promotion? It's just like the PFL doesn't include Kayla in their new promos. What benefit do they get from promoting a fighter that's now in a rival promotion & by extension promoting their rivals?
Dana wants Jon jones to be the best heavyweight ever so people forget about Francis, it used to be stripe but Francis finished him and Cyril then chose to leave the ufc to make more money. That’s why Dana is forcing stipe vs jones so hard and not aspinall, so jones will have the same heavyweight defenses.
@@sortakindageeseit’s different tho. It benefits PFL to still promote their former fighters that are in the ufc. Especially if they are successful. Shows they can have high level fighters. But for the ufc, dosent make sense
@@multitablez7825 That's not on the same level as someone beating their wife or throwing a dolly to a bus injuring some passengers. Sure it's weird af but the hate seems so dragged out.
@@multitablez7825flicking his dogs dong a decade ago is weird. Not spreading hatred on his name weird. He says ones liners in a weird way that if said by someone else “more badass” you’d be like “HOLY SHIT THAT WAS COLD🥶🥶🥶”
@@sakati5225how about izzy lying about his upbringing, pretending that he didnt have maids growing up to one up dricus and pretending that dricus was trying to discredit ngannou in the first place, or him following puppy porn pages on twitter and also fondling his dog’s nuts….jst sayin
Ufc just need to be proud he was built there first. So No they shouldn't remove Francis ngannou, or mighty mouse. Its just a bad look on the company and makes them look weak. Just find someone better and have them a achieve more.
@@Obiodum_ Truth always hurt coz honestly speaking Izzy not resides nor train in Nigeria so DDP everything cooked here in SA bt come Sunday u wil see true horrior
Listen, I don’t like Izzy’s politics, but people forget who this guy is in the cage. He knocked out the scariest guy inside the Octagon right now - cold.
Deffo a big shout, also DEFFO NOT, the scariest guy inside the 'Octagon right now Beast of a fighter yes..... Guy will get consumed so easily if he moves up...
Beating a starved and dehydrated Pereira isn’t really that great of an accomplishment. They should fight at 205. Don’t forget they’re basically kickboxing in the ufc as well and it’s still 3-1.
My thing is I am from SA and if DDP was black I will have all the respect if he want to discredit izzy and other black fighters .but him being white he can fucken open his mouth coz so many colour and black village dnt even have clean water.being in a white school and coming from a black or color school the difference is so big. I respect a black that flee for a beter life style. White people you dnt hear of any white people flee to go over sea.so I hope this sink in. If white person move to a different country is to go work for farming ect.and be recruit for work. Not like African Africans that move and don't know what they will eat what work thy going to do.just flee to the unknown...
@@sethsingermusic he was locked in for sure. I don’t think he was angry at all. He just knows how close he’s been to finishing Alex twice and actually doing it on the third try.
He had actual gyno. There is no debate. They're all on steroids. It's an unspoken agreement to only callout people who dont cycle off correctly and get popped
Once DDP starts taking over the fight Izzy is going to have a breakdown. His delusional, narcissistic mind set is going to melt and there will be no SERVANTS coming to help.
@@TayongoExplores Awwww, is someone's feelings hurt? How can you defend a guy who plays the victim after its been proven he's lived a entitled live while acting like he was poor and had to flee?? Or a guy who molested his dog, on camera with video proof. The type of person someone will defend is a reflection of themselves...
@@paulwalters5349 Its always about him, never takes responsibility and keeps playing the victim while trying to be a Villian. Tries to use others like Francis to justify his upbringing(poor and had to flee for better life) He has main character complex. I mean he did molest a dog for his enjoyment.
I dont know if Izzy being heavier is going to really help him in this fight. That will make the weight cut harder and slow him down in the fight (will probably make him get tired faster) Its an odd strategy when you are 35 and have been used to a certain way of prepping for so long
His body is probably naturally getting heavier since he’s getting older, seems he’s turning it into muscle. According to him he is living more like an athlete and taking his nutrition more seriously now so if he keeps most of his speed he should be good, it’s his timing, precision and reflexes that make him special so if he keeps that and adds power it’s probably better. He has elite cardio so im sure he’s prepared to fight heavier
@@dannytran1587bro he grabbed his dogs weiner and said "willy time" and when he said "shout out to the puppy" and all the dog fetish stuff he liked on twitter... dude is a freaking weirdo
Let’s go Izzy, respect for showing love to Francis YTs will always hate on great Africans who cares, support our own like they do their overrated Brits . 💪🏾 👑 no matter the obstacles we will always end up on top
Francis was a good fighter which is not hard since heavyweights are the worst fighters in the UFC lets be honest here. He won the belt one time and barely defended it one time, great and legacy? what are we on about here. Lets not talk about him like he was GSP, he did nothing in the UFC.
Crazy how fans choose to hate one guy and love the other, Dude diddles his dog and now y'all act like he's never been a good fighter, Yet y'all ignore DDP kissing his Coach and robbing Strickland of the belt, I'm not a fan of either but the fans and DDP's attitude makes me want Izzy to win, DDP acts like he had Izzy's title reign when he's never defended the belt and ducked Izzy when he got the chance to fight him, Guess y'all got short term memory tho
@@navjitbassi03 whatever you say, Strickland dominated the 1st three rounds, DDP won the 4th, and it was a toss up for 5th in my opinion, How about you actually try to explain how I'm wrong instead of trying to insult me, It shows your level of intelligence
@@navjitbassi03 p.s. I'm not a 'fanboy', I'm just a fight fan, Strickland is stupid, But I call a spade a spade, and I'm not about to be the pot calling the kettle black, I genuinely believe Strickland won that fight, But please debate me if you can
@LoudMystic2159 sean dominated the first 2. The rest were for DDP and DDP had the most dominant round. Go explain to everyone who isnt a sean fanboy how they are wrong 😅. We have had loads of controversial decisions in mma which were blatant robberies. This definitely wasnt one of them. Yet sean fanboys are complaining about this decision more than any of those. You deserve the insults
@LoudMystic2159 no need to. DDP won the fight. Noone in the commentary etc complained. It was an obvious decision. Im not going to spend energy explaining the world is round to a flat earther. The results speak for itself. DC and Sonnen even scored it for DDP. You arent that important
Francis only has one title defense and his legacy in the UFC is going to more about what his potential was and "what could have been" if he stayed in the UFC and racked up some consecutive title defenses. This is not throwing shade at him or hating on him, he left the UFC after that single title defense so there isn't much there to even call a legacy...
The heavyweight division then vs now is a complete change. Tom and Sergie weren't on top to challenge Francis. Jon wasn't a heavyweight. To say Francis would have defeated these guys is far reach.

Yall tripping. Izzys hairline been gone. Hes always looked like this. Hes just a little thicker in the face because he took time to gain weight during his break. Duh.
you don't have to gaslight us dude it's been going but is much further receded than the last time he fought (hence why ppl are noticing it) other people noted months ago from his IG posts that he had slight gyno come back as well (not nearly as bad as in the Costa fight), he also happens to get bigger when he comes back from a loss (look at his physique in Strickland fight vs Pereira 2) - he's not the only fighter who is likely on performance enhancing drugs, but yeah its not a wild concept he's been juicing for this fight
Bahaha gained weight and more importantly muscle, after 20 years of training...conveniently after usada leaves. U prolly believe belal isn't juiced to the gills😂
@@B1G_CHUNGUS_BUNGUSA comment filled with utter nonsense and speculation. Embarrassing. But this is what you people do. You accuse fighters like Adesanya of PEDs when you're worried about him winning. I didn't see this talk about PEDs when he lost to Strickland, Pereira or Jan. But it's always only before he fights or when he wins. Embarrassing.
@bigdaddyd6700 why would belal be on juice? I don't believe that at all. These guys are trained athletes. I get it, your body looks like a bunch of melted ice cream in a ziplock bag. But these guys are athletes. Belal didn't take steroids, he just trained extremely hard and works out consistently. Don't be mad belal whooped your boy 😂 Leon never recovered from being spiked on his head. Dude was knocked silly from that then tried to say it was because he was "tired all week" .. meanwhile all week he was talking trash and saying he had a perfect camp and blah blah blah. All yall do is make excuses. You know who I think was on juice? Belfort, Dillashaw , and Jones. Because they all tested positive for it. Idc how someone physically looks. Unless we have solid proof, I'm not passing judgment.
All the people hating are teenagers that watch Sean Strickland Tik toks about him hating on Izzy and haven’t even watched a live ufc event . No way theres fully grown men hating on someone this much
i dont like strickland and im not hating. but my opinion is izzy is a a goofy narcissist. boy calls himself a king while wearing a shirt with his own face on it. and only speaks in childlike anime metaphors. not my style
Francis has one defense on his record. Let's relax with the "legacy" talk, he wasn't even the greatest in his division. All respect to the guy, but that is just a fact.
Enough of the izzy hate dude is a legend and thats coming from a massive pereira fan, but we as mma fans need to do better and show these warriors respect.
I hope Dricus is champ for the rest of his career so that you have no choice but to cover him. The bias is blatantly obvious and I expected more from you Mac Life
His energy is similar to how he was vs Alex second time but he seems less pissed and more in control (This was my observation before <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1095">18:15</a>)
Izzy is a real one, standing up for his brother Francis Ngannou. It’s a shame the UFC has pretty much erased Francis from the company’s history much like they with Demetrious Johnson as well.
+@anasshahid224 Excuse me but what is that great companys history with Francis? He was a one and done champ, the eternal second place behind Stipe then he did beat Stipe when he finally got too old, then he fled the division like he did fled his homeland once. Mighty mouse was a champ for like 10 years straight, its really an insult to put these two together in one sentence.
@@bjornhartmann6839It's funny because mighty mouse himself would know better than to say something silly such as that. You're right though he left the UFC like he left his homeland because he saw opportunities to do better and he's doing that 🙌🙌 something you should try some day
@@nicknick9863 Mighty Mouse is really humble if so. However as a fan i think the comparision is still ridicolous. Ngannou was never that great and fled the killers of the division for a pay check, its okay, im not hating on that but people need to stop acting like he is like mighty mouse lol.
@@BearWhoWrestledKhabib I never used the term "novice skills", i think the guy was a great fighter but not the greatest as mighty mouse was. And if you look at his resumee, he fought barely anyone of the current top 10.
@@bjornhartmann6839 "Fled the killers of the division" you're talking about someone who never pulled out or turned down a fight and knocked out most of them .. be serious with yourself. Jon Jones conveniently was ready to fight as soon as Francis left and you're saying he barely fought anyone in the current top 10.. obviously genius a lot of them weren't in that position when he was around. If we're talking skills and performances he's one of the most dominant in the ufc EVER whether you like it or not
Francis won the title. He's not defended anything. He's a one trick pony he's got a punch. If he fought legitimate champions 10 times he would lose eight of them. If you thought the temporary champion in England, he would lose nine out of 10. He has a striker chance. He's so one dimensional That he's very very very beatable. He was very smart. He went to the boxing and made the money because if he would've stayed in the USC he would find out he's not that great of a fighter. And then he would never have got the boxing match. So kudos to him or his management for getting him the big payday. He made more unboxing than he would ever make in the UFC. And he did it in one fight.
@Kornick81 I agree, he's been at the top for a long time so that fire of being the one wanting to prove themselves has probably gone but that's not the only reason why he is one of the best. But anyway, I hope it will be an exciting fight to watch
Changing of the gaurd that what this is but you can't sleep on izzy he well rounded fighter but I think his time up on top but he still going to be whooping ass
The Izzy hate is corny asf atp. Like dude was one of the most active champions EVER. This fool had already DOMINATED INTERNATIONALLY in a different sport, before he ever saw the octagon. Then got here and cleaned his division TWICE. Poatan is the scariest man in the UFC right now, and Izzy was his rival BEFORE the UFC. Be fr
@@perfectcreature1like Izzy is playing the victim saying his family was run out of Africa? He’s a rich kid who didn’t know how to bath him self till he was 8 years old. His ancestors were slave owners and sellers. Guys never been a victim
Challenge #2: All you weirdos who are lowkey obsessed with Izzy but talk trash about him actually not click on his videos and waste time of your pathetic life lmao
