    It touched me too. I felt the same way about my dad for a long time. I did let go of the anger enough to start talking to him again back in 2017. I'm happy i did because he died about 6 months after that of a brain anurism.

    At 26 homeless, at 27 started combat sports, at 31 fought for UFC championship. What will bring the future? Stipe, DC, other champions been doing combat sports for 20+ years before they became UFC champions, even Jon Jones been doing combat sports for around 10 years before he became youngest UFC champion at 23 (he started wrestled as teenager), so Francis progress is amazing to me. I don't understand what is the reason there is expectation of Francis to be a champion after 4 years of experience, when he competes with those that have 20+ years, I believe eventually he will get there.

And then there were so many missed topics, missed opportunites during the interview. Francis was ready. The interviewer was not.

    I should correct this: Stop putting words in his mouth. There are no gangs in Cameroon! There are thieves and bandits but there are no gangs as we have in America. Francis is French and didn’t really comprehend the journalists use of the word “gangs”.
