Media Francis Ngannou vs Ciryl Gane first Face-off respect or Fear

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Francis showed respect and tried to walk back some of the trash talk, some will see it as weak, while others will see at as respectful.
I thought it was weak and takes away from the excitement of the fight, leave that respect stuff to after the fight.

 

[Fatback96]

Francis showing weakness. Not looking good.

 

[GilErick]

Cyril : This iz not ze truce
Ngannou : Cameroun Cameroun Cameroun
Cyril : ok my big brother

 

[FeelingFroggy]

This is the only time for Ngannou to show good sportsmanship to Cyrille while Cyrille is still conscious. Ngannou learned from the Stipe and Rosenstruik fights; if he wants to show respect, he can't wait until after the fight.

Two very large, very nervous men in a foreign country trying to look casual in fron t of a huge audience, and their boss.

Let's see that staredown on fight night.

 

[Dave Poodle]

Dana looked pretty nervous standing between them

 

[Ares Black]

I think there is mutual respect.

 

[HHJ]

There is no fear here. Ngannou didnt come all this way to be afraid of a man.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

I don’t know if I’d call it fear but I just shit my pants.

 

[DooHoChoi]

Hard to make out but Francis clearly says in French "no matter what you think I respect you"
Stocked for this one

 

[Sweater of AV]

Shookologists will analyze this for hours.

 

[MrCoffee]

I don’t know if I’d call it fear but I just shit my pants.

That's just expressing your freedom.

 

[MrCoffee]

I didn't see any fear in this. Gane is calm AF.

 

[Luvhawky]

Anyone know what Francis was saying?

understandably. what a weird press conference at that, and to be beside the two tiniest male champions of the promotion, both of whom were behaving like cartoon characters. very awkward freak show vibes. I'm certain their feelings were mostly those of deep cringe having to stomach through being involved with the requisite pageantry of this low brow American carnival. As I saw a few threads point out, even the press was suspect. how the fuck does Joe Schmoe come off as top of the class professional media for a press conference? is no one reputable interested in covering this?

 

[dildos]

total fear in ngannous eyes. he is shook.

 

[spinup]

Anyone know what Francis was saying?

"No matter what you think, I do respect you. We are going to war on Saturday but I respect you."

 

[SouthSide971]

Well I'm rooting for Gane but there is no doubt about who is the scariest between this two

 

[AbominableJoman]

Franny shook to the bone confirmed

 

[campbecc]

Ngannou didn't want Gane to take anything he said seriously, he must have felt bad for saying whatever he said that he apologized for. He would be way more afraid of a calm Gane than a mad one, brawling is Ngannou's game, if Gane were to come out mad and wild trying to hurt Ngannou that would make Ngannou a huge favorite.
