Media Francis is being ungrateful

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

This guy took him off the streets gave him a home, trained him, fed him and Francis treats him like this!
What an appalling character!

Bruh they’re about to fight. Save the lovey dovey stuff for after the fight.

 

[sabretitan]

Noob is ungrateful

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

We don't know everything that happened between him and his coach so it's tough to judge

 

[kingmob6]

Plus we probably don't really know the whole story behind the conflict....Francis might have his reasons.

 

[Sickbro69420]

Game says himself that Francis is just another opponent for him.

Francis walked by Cyril like that chick in the Gillette commercial, except Cyril was being the best a man can be and didn't stop and harass Francis

 

[Substance Abuse]

That's a fallacy.

Francis brought up his camp and Fernand every time he won and took blame for his own losses.

What should he do? Stop and exchange pleasantries when his former head coach can't stop speaking ill of him in the media while he's standing next to the guy he's going to try to knock into another dimension in a few months?

Not every training partner is a friend.

You'd be angry too if you couldn't even afford a training camp after buying a rolls royce, a $175,000 watch and flying in private planes.

Yeah but Francis screwed his old coach over now he’s salty Fernand can have success with other fighters

 

[wildchild88]

The coach has trashed him in the media for around 2 years now... Ngannou has actually been quite cordial about it.. brushing it off in interviews and being cool about it.

Ngannou is in no way obligated to go up and play friendly with those dudes..

Full story from one side, I would guess Francis is more in the wrong, but we don't actually know what happened, so it's hard to judge. If he shows a pattern of burning bridges with people that's different.

How did he screw him over? Please elaborate.

Francis wanted to change camps. He wanted to live in America. Fernand has consistently gone out of his way to say he has no issues with Francis leaving - which he obviously does since he can't stop talking about him - and that he just wanted credit. Francis gave him credit. Fernand still didn't shut up about it for years. Francis even actively avoided opportunities to say anything negative. They're probably both at fault to a degree but Francis isn't outright the villain here.

Ever since Francis didn't fight Gane immediately and at the behest of the UFC, everyone has accepted their narrative and began to hate on Ngannou, going as far to say he's afraid of Gane, when the fight is already booked at this point.

You know how I can tell this forum just wants to dump on Francis? It constantly whines about fighter pay, yet they gave him all the shit in the world for asking for more money.

Forget the training partners, the coach saved his life, gave him a career, is from same country, did everything for him and Francis behaved like that towards him

The first Stipe fight was a complete disaster and the narrative was that Francis’ gym was trash... when now they have proven to produce top quality talent with Gane and Imavov now

Gane does look slightly pissed off, gonna be a bad blood fight for sure. One thing about Francis is when he has a point to prove, he usually performs quite well (Blaydes 2, Cain, Rozenstruik, Stipe 2)

Francis behaved like what? Francis paid him his cut for his coaching. Francis gave him credit in the media. What else was he supposed to do? Does he owe his whole life to Fernand and had to stay at that camp until he retired even if he felt he needed to grow and wanted to move to America? This is unrealistic, lol.

Who said the gym was trash? Who perpetuated this narrative? What exactly did Francis say?

I got one guy in here saying he's wrong for leaving and didn't give Lopez credit and I've got you saying the camp was trash. Yet, what did Francis say? It seems like you guys want to perpetuate a false narrative to hate on Francis.

He's a grown ass man. If he thinks he can get better and wants to move, he can. He paid Lopez and gave him a lot of credit after each fight. Go look at social media accounts.
