UFC 270: Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane have wild Pre-Fight Press Conference

@ROCK-SOLID Rocky dont forget that Rome ...and therefore their "geeks and giants" are ruling the ENTIRE world . so dont be dissapointed when GANE wins

Everyone been trying to create this narrative that Francis is this cocky arrogant fighter with an ego who needs to be humbled and making up lies to fuel it. All this negative bad energy been coming from the media and Ganes coach and side. Its not from Francis. Francis been outgoing" fun & cool as a cucumber. I talk about it on my channel. Check it out.

when you look at the best MMA fighters from diff. countries
USA got Jonny Bones Jones
Russia - had the last Emperor FEDOR and the light champ Nurmagomedov
Croatia - had Cro Cop ...and Roberto Soldic
France - got Gane and Francis is not liking France ...how strange ....never bite the hand that feeds you

Please shut up with the weird comments 😂😂

Nah man Nganou all the way

@Larry Tate Stipe stole his soul the first fight.. I'd like to see that happen again.

@alipouya I don’t remember Francis saying that Larry just bs lol

@Larry Tate boy you need to watch golf or go make me some cupcakes

Francis wanted to be the one to knock Jones out for the payday it would have been. But, I think he will be pleasantly surprised at how much this fight makes in PPV as well.

@Nich B 💯👌👍

I took that really sarcastically. Like Cyril was annoyed that he was trying to big brother him

Well yeah Francis wanted to fight Jon Jones but Dana wouldn't let him so now he has to fight Cyril

@YouKnow Terms like "illuminati" are meant to portray the one saying it as some crazed conspiracy theorist; just as "conspiracy theorist" is the buzz word that is used against anyone that questions whatever the narrative may be, instantly shutting them down. I have not seen the clip of ciryl doing that, so I can't speak on it, but symbolism is definitely a real thing that is consistently present on all types of platforms.

@YouKnow and stop talking about éducation... i dont like to brag about anything but i have à Master degree in mathematical engineering while, from à few comments, i can assume you're barely able to serve big macs

@Fr D do some research and get back to me, unless youre unwilling to explore outside of the realm of your own small existence. If you discredit the truth, you must be educated on the topic before your opinion is valid

I felt the same! The conference went well until the French reporters asked their dumb questions. Basically their questions meant he been ungrateful towards France and his French former coach. And if you listen properly you can hear (I guess) the coach complaining in the background. I'm not gonna talk about the French translator as he he was dumb and slow

@Mattia the french make a big deal out of not wanting to learn English you know because of some ancient animositie lol, don't mind them.

Et en plus, mentir exprès que Francis avait dit que la lutte avec Cyril allait être facile--quelle honte de mentir délibérément comme ça! Heureusement que Francis s'est défendu comme il avait sinon les gens auront vraiment pensés que c'est ça qu'il avait vraiment dit.

Both Francis and Cyril could have translated better lmao

french journalists for the most are emotional like little kids.

2 awesome native speaking french heavyweights trying to communicate in broken english is the best convo i’ve heard so far!!!

She did a great job? 😂

@That 1 guy they dont need to be jackasses, they just need to be interesting, and sadly they arent

🤣🤣

@hello,howru? yes so what you're saying you would rather see 2 guys up there acting like Jack asses instead of being respectful and courteous to each other everybody else in the room?

LMFAO 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fcukng legendary!!!

Must watch and make sure the right cross does not connect in the eyes!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@YouKnow cant underestimate francis ..hes gna take the win due to stamina

@YouKnow I can't stand you online weirdos. Do you personally know Francis have you met him? Have you me Gane? How can you conclude that? Weirdo

@TechnoShamanism Exactly. Very well explained what the french journalist went for. Thank you for exposing this nonsense question, even if I don't particularly like Las Vegas way of life. Francis has grown in dirt. Now he wants success, he wants to shine. And may I say, he deserves it. (Not a Francis fan).

Khamzat: No brother, I had easy fights.

WHAT i DONT GET IS PEOPLE EXPECTING SOFT AND HUMBLE WORDS FROM A FEROCIOUS FIGHTER????

@Fr D i know, Francis is a very smart man. But it would be fun to see If he spoke like that alone with him. Francis deserves respect, cant believe how many that turn against him since he became a champ. The man seems like the most chill dude ever.

GREAT RESPONSE FROM FRANCIS. The media will twist & turn words & cause unnecessary issue.

Watch that press conference again cause he sounds pretty damn french

@Bare i think france paid for his training and food, why did he came to france if he had everything in cameron

@hello,howru? yes Francis made himself, he went places and used tools to become Champ

@Fight Highlights Whatever.. he speaks French as his mother tongue, as does Ciryl. So you must get the point.

@Mvshotz I think it’s around like 36 min bruh. You’ll see Francis face when reporter askin Ciryl the question

Time stamp

@JØDI RØLLIN 4ØETY JØ it's a bot

@BoluzB2 G "I am not impressed with your performance" SP

37:48 Dana White is seeing $ signs
controversy pays .
him The Most ... Gane will win and Francis is going to fight for his American Citizenship this year
Jonny Bones vs Gane will be THE FIGHT to make in 2022

Lol right?

@Audio and whips Gane has the interim heavyweight belt & Francis has the heavyweight belt.

French translation was very lame. Gane talked for 1 minute in French and the English translation was about 1 sentence 🤣

When he looked at the translator and said " good luck with that one " had me dying 😂

@momo language barrier

momo nah Francis was saying knockdown from the start but gane thinks knockdown means knockout also that’s why he said you hurt me but never knock me down because he thinks knock down is knocked out cold

I believe gane is telling the truth francis changed his narrative quickly from "knock out to knock down to changing the subject" btw i hope Brandon gets k.o. he's sooo annoying

@Fonge Atebezi
Your problem is that you don't read very well. And I can't blame you. That broken English is your undoing.

@Gabe how u go lie say Na u teach ngannou for school for this men them 🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️

@Fonge Atebezi
About what?

@Gabe Chaii bro why u lying in the comments Na my bro

@Mari Monroe try to learn his language and see how long it'll take you.By the way how many languages do you speak

Yeah, Christopher Nolan should be the promoter

@Ludovic Kacou where did i say that injury isnt something you should expect in sparring? People get injured daily. But there is a huge difference between throwing a Light body hook that unexpectetly hurts your Partner or going meathead on a sparring Partner who doesnt expect you to. Shit happens my Problem wasnt even that stuff like that happens my Problem is you shaming a trainingpartner for communicating to his Partner that he went to hard, which Promotes toxic gym culture.

@drsandkastenschaufel let's be clear, a fighter who is going to spar knows that a TKO or an injury is possible. For them pros it's an acceptable work accident. It's included in the deal. The proof Ngannou arrived injured at UFC 270, he didn't say it in a press conference, it didn't prevent him from winning. Khamzat here in this video hurt his partner very badly, he did not do an interview to talk about his pain. Gane spoke of his pain because he was facing Ngannou at a press conference always to make him look like a boor, there you accept this lie to the point of defending him as if his job is not to fight against men the most powerful, sparring included and here is Khamzat without filter who does the same you find it acceptable, but Ngannou asks for the publication of the rest of the video where Gane is in difficulty following an accident and Gane who published with his staff refuses to do it arguing a pain. And that is acceptable? Shut up, you are not objective at all. if a fighter is afraid of accidents in sparring he can change jobs, at McDonald's this being knocked out is unacceptable not in pro sparring especially in MMA. Real good sparring leads to accident mostly. Period.

@Ludovic Kacou good sparring Light and technical. Dont See the issue. Doesnt change the fact that you re not supposed to brawl every sparring and have a macho tough guy Attitude notice how both are laughing smiling and fooling around

@Sheeraz no no hold the L

@laveen poovaiah nah not intersted at that either

@hello,howru? yes you can watch WWE

Ppl dont care about this fight

@Solm wtf dude, it's a MMA channel

@Solm grow up

Bro !!! Gane laughing and saying “thank you” was kinnda scary dude. Lol … like he’s trying say he just been taught a quick lesson. Their passive aggressive was hilarious also. Cant wait to watch this fight man !!!

@Thunder Thumbz he meant Francis was pissing himself from laughter bruv… clearly wasn’t meaning fear😂😂

@EVGtruth how can you not be excited aftet the two fights they’ve had, you’re missing out man

No one cares about those two gay Latinos. We here for the heavyweight fight.

Why would Francis piss himself? He beat miocic the best heavy weight boxer, and Overeem one of the best heavyweight strikers

😂 true

🤣🤣🤣

Dana doesn’t do sheeet. It was Hunter Campbell

@Ziggy Johnston You came back and handled things well, I have respect for you.

@J T Fair enough dude. I thought it was lame that Dana didn't wrap the belt or talk to the media after the fights last night. I don't know all the details and who was in the right/wrong, but it's definitely not a good look for Dana

@Ziggy Johnston blame Dana for all of his shortcomings😂😂 he migrated from Cameroon with no money, no friends, no family, and almost died several times and worked his way to become the heavyweight champion of the world. Is Dana ur daddy or something 🤣

@O adekunleFair enough. I was acting a bit emotional. Francis has worked hard. I have no evidence that either Gane or Ngannou was telling the truth. I see that I was a bit biased. I don't know enough about them tbh I just watch the youtube and make a calculated decision

@Ziggy Johnston how is he a scumbag I swear when people are great for a long time people will find whatever reason they can to wish them to lose or hate them. Francis and curly are both great guys and I wish them both the best of luck I personally prefer Francis to win but please stop with all this he’s got a big ego and he is a bad person rubbish that is just stupid

Ppl dont care about this fight

He’s not losing

Hi im jeff

Wow, that was a crazy exaggeration

Ciryl said the coach told them to stop the sparring session

@Matthew 🤣🤣

Tbh Cryils camp is very questionable for one reason. We know they didn't release the full tape. That action alone tells me they are likely hiding something that puts him in a negative light

@Pablo exactly. but that makes ngannou a shitty sparring partner for not respecting gane. karma is a bitch.

@LastbutNotFirst I do believe Francis was getting so frustrated at Ciryls skill set as Francis was struggling to get anything on him so when he eventually did he made sure he felt it

🤣🤣

@Caleb Stephan They are not friends, they respect eachother but they are not friends.

bro add a time stamp atleast

Francis and Gane are friends with each other which is why it looked like they were struggling when it came to trash talking each other. During the face off they smiled and fist bumped each other so they seem cool with each other. There's even footage of them greeting each other in random places even after Francis left his old coach. Francis only ignored him in that one video online because his old coach was standing next to Gane and you can tell by looking at Gane that he was surprised because he wasn't use to seeing Francis ignore him like that.

I LUH JUUU

@Mari Monroe u must be his mother then

@Caleb Stephan Cyril initiated it, Francis is a has too much ego

@CARLO no they won’t, the fight will show what happens in the fight, they will not show us the sparring footage of Francis landing a left high kick so we can see if Cyril goes down or not, Dana changed the subject because he is a more practised liar than Francis and understood when you are a liar, you should not talk about things you lied about because you will reveal yourself

@Teh Termite may be so. But as Dana said, after the fight, all the questions will be answered

@CARLO ok but I don’t think Francis knocked him down, and I don’t think Francis did not knock him down, I don’t think anything, all I think is that Francis does not want to talk about it and Cyril does, so that shows that Francis has some dishonesty

*cuts to the flyweights*
"Yew CRYBABY Brandon Moreno!"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@Tiago Marques exactly how I think it happened! The pause from Francis tells you he didn’t knock Gane down.

That exchange in the beginning was so funny. But u can clearly understand what happened. Francis hurt gane without intention and choach did the right thing stopping the sparring. Both are exaggerating a bit I think. Gane was hurt and Francis didn't knock him out/down.

Their perspectives of English make me question my own. Very refreshing.
I love this fight

I thought fig and moreno were funnier

The next question is even more disrespectful.
This question was turned in a way we (french people) could clearly understand what it meant. It mean (in other words) : "Do you enjoy Las Vegas superficial way of life ? Do you enjoy it more like the french way of life ? Please give french people reasons to hate and despise you"
The guy is salty about Ngannou leaving France for Usa. That's it.

@RapperHolik 👍🏾

I think muay thai is a good sport

@Lamb Sauce It's probably true. He grew up in Cameroun, where nobody believed in him. They have this mindset there. And when you succeed, they are rather jalous and envious than happy for you. He's selfmade but just rely on himself and doesn't thank others for the help. Look at his beef with Dana.

please say the same for Francis, he also a good sport.

@Lamb Sauce as Conor said, there’s no friends in this business

Ppl dont care about this fight

Because he was giving the translator a chance to interpret the question of the journalist

Francis had a video of raw body shots from fly weights that's hilarious.

@James vibe killer

@James wowza clearly everyone else sees the humour in it … you extra lame

265 vs 125 lbs.
Francis is more than double his size.

Def a marketing ploy trying to juxtapose their size to make the heavyweights look even more massive

Yep. Scary stuff. You summed it quite well. Cyril didn' t look that hurt tho. Seems that even if he takes hits sometimes, he tends to take it well enough to survive.
We'll see against 1 punch man :D
