francis's story is like no other. he is able to articulate and convey whatever he feels, very cerebral. you instantly understand what he's saying, and he says things in a respectful, endearing way. and english isn't even his first language. the man has overcome so much adversity, real poverty, and has experienced things we will never fully know or understand because how could we? he has lived such a hard life. for him to rise through the ranks of the UFC, have his UFC career, and then be the first fighter to say F U and forge his own path, one where he did unthinkable things, succeeded, secured his money, and most importantly respect in the fight game, respect from his peers and fans that understand this story, this just all seems so unfair. he could finally provide to his offspring the chances and opportunities, the childhood that was robbed from him. it all just seems so unfair. his social media posts are heartbreaking to read.
