Love both Lions, good luck to both, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Ariel Helwani is Ngannou’s English Teacher, lol, he definitely helped him improve his grammar plus we’ve missed u Ariel, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
DC would crush him 😆 stay far far away Mr Francis lol he's literally his kryptonite
How about just focus on throwing more then 5 punches dude. You suck!
STOP asking - "Has the UFC told you what happens if you win this fight" -
1. Even if they tell the fighter something they don't have to do it...and probably won't
2. They very rarely tell the fighter anything
3. You just want something to criticize Dana in the future, don't worry you will find other things
4. Its a stale question, like cereal that falls out of the bag to the bottom of the box
Shut the fuck , cain will kick ur black ass , the whole world saw ur fight wen u fought stipe and he kicked ur ass , now imagine cain it's 3 times better then stipe so u have no chance against cain period.
I won't talk shit about who will win or that stuff, because I've been wrong many times. I believe we should look at this fight and these type of fights as to one guy who is an absolute legend and a monster in the sport in Cain fighting against a guy who can pretty much catch him and put him away. I believe Cain is a better fighter, cause he is more proven and is Cain Velasquez, but Ngannou can for sure KO him and I won't be surprised if that happens.
This is for Cain Fans...Fellas Can pass his Prime a long time ago,his last fight was like 3 years ago,he's always injured so pray he can make it to Sunday,Francis Ngannou Will RETIRE Cain Velasquez from MMA Mark My Words,but don't worry you can watch him in WWE...That's My Prediction...And for Sunday Cain won't pass the 2dn Round he will fall in Spectacular Fashion...
Jon Jones FEARS heavyweight!
I got Cain and love Cain to death but how can you not like Ngannou
Francis by TKO in the first minute or two
Love this guy, he's always so positive and honest, no bullshit, no excuses about the elevation, no excuses about the lack of experience.
Gotta love Francis, he realized he wasn't a god after losing to stipe and changed his mentality. I'm scared for Cain big time. Francis is the definition of a punchers chance.
What an inspiration of a man!
Trust me you dont even want the worse cain.....
Francis is such a good person
Big fan of Cain, and also like Ngannou a lot too...But prime Cain is far superior to anyone.
Ngannou you muppet if you win you wont get a title shot you would have to go through stipe again and that didn't work out so well last did it.
Ariel looks like a reincarnation of Rasputin.
Not cardio not wrestling experience not winning that simple
Nganou notgonnado nuffin
Cain killed abel...im sure he'll beat fran
CAIN is BEE YEE YEE YEE YUST .... MOW OWE OWE OWE OWE OWDUH!!!!!!!! BEAST MODE. TWO CONVENIENT SETTINGS TO SELECT FROM:
⚪1. OFF
🔘2. *SMASH THE FUCK OUT OF FACES* (xD)
I think, unless your Stipe no one else really wants Cain
Huge Cain fan, but Francis is such a good dude. I would hate to see him not accomplish his goals in the ufc. Really nice guy
Inwas gonna say AvP because everyone i hear his nickname I think of he alien hunter movie or whatever, but then I realize that's kinda racist. Lmao.
If it's going to be a stand up then the advantage is with ngannou considering his long reach n more importantly his inhumane punching power with which he would KO Cain but if it is going to be on the ground then Cain would dominate just like stipe did so overall it's going an amazing fight but hope Cain doesn't pull out at the last moment
Como hermano dr Cain me siento amado I comprometido a el,pero ok,este guey no puede,pero but no, I si termina el Rey,ok,siempre ahi un pescado mas grande....
Anybody that was homeless and can bounce back is a winner in my book.
Francis is a badass
I like cain but love to see francis winning this fight
Props for opening that free MMA gym for kids in Cameroon Francis!
Helwani is such a dick putting on a french accent to say Francis sometimes
His best chance against beating Cain this Saturday will be his power of his right hand with a great uppercut,other then that he maybe in for a long night,like with the Stipe fight lol.Francis seems to be a really good dude and nice person.I wish nothing but the best for him and I hope he brings his A game come Saturday against Cain.I really hope too,that he worked on his cardio and takedown defense.I think that is a must for him in the fight to pull off that uppercut,because even if he worked on his wtestling.It won't be good enough for Chain's wresting lol.
is that shit golden eyebrow?
Francis lowkey gay lol
God bless ngannou. Respect for anyone helping other humans
No, Ngannou, you better HOPE Cain is not at his best...because he will break your will so easily.
Cain's going to whoop this bum. EASY work for Cain. Francis's gas tank is on a time limit.
Ariel - Francis is having a hard time with your questions because his english is limited. Stop asking him questions that are long winded with slang english & advanced terms. Jeeeez.
Here’s a statistic that people are always surprised by: Cain Velasquez has never won an mma fight in his career by submission.
Cain is an undersized guy who developed into an incredible striker especially inside distance. He uses the resultant speed and conditioning to his foes chagrin. He’ll soften guys up and take their cardio so his undersized frame can take guys to the ground for ground and pound. Unfortunately though, these are not the pre-usada days and Cain has grey in his beard. He’s been injured, has many miles on him, had multiple surgeries and hasn’t fought in years. I find terrific value in mma when I get knockout artists as underdogs. I’ll take the fresh Ngannou who’s never been knocked down by strikes in his career and comes in with a massive 6-inch reach advantage and a likely 45-pound weight advantage after rehydrating on fight night. Good luck all.
Cain going to fuck him up
CONOR MCGREGOR FIGHTER PROFILE:
HAS NOT WON A SINGLE FIGHT SINCE 2016 - 3 YEARS LOL
ZERO TITLE DEFENCES IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER
ZERO REMATCHES GIVEN TO A DEFEATED OPPONENT IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER
HAS TAPPED OUT AND GIVEN UP 4 TIMES IN HIS CAREER
HELD UP TWO DIVISIONS FOR OVER 600 DAYS WITH ZERO DEFENCES
KNOCKED OUT BY A 40 YEAR OLD RETIRED BOXER HE OUTWEIGHED BY 30LBS
TAPPED OUT TO AN 11TH RANKED DIAZ, GIFTED A DECISION IN SECOND MATCH
OFFERED A TITLE SHOT AT LIGHTWEIGHT WITHOUT FIGHTING A SINGLE LIGHT WEIGHT CONTENDER
DID NOT DEFEND THAT TITLE EITHER
ROCKED ON THE FEET BY A WRESTLER IN KHABIB, "UNBELIEVABLE STAND UP"
21-4 RECORD
ARGUABLY THE WORST CHAMPION IN UFC HISTORY
The scariest thing about Cain is he out wrestles the most elite wrestlers and out strikes the elite strikers
This is like JDS 2.0 V Cain 2.0 lol
Put Cain Velasquez below sea level, then not even Chuck Norris can beat him.
Everyone expects way too much of Ngannou...he's only been fighting for 5 years and hopped in with the pros on the spot...let him train. For a guy like Francis, wrestling will be easy for him to build since he's in his prime already and doesn't really have to weight cut.
Ngannou; the Mike Tyson of MMA
