Francis Ngannou went from homeless to MMA predator
Started boxing at 22
"When I started, I had nothing[…]I needed everything"
He sold his motorcycle, one needed to make money, to join a gym
People called him crazy
Today, he's the UFC's #1 contender for the heavyweight title
Here's his life's philosophy in a nutshell:
"It might not work. But, I don't want to live with the regret of not trying. I have to try. If I fail, it's ok," he said on Joe Rogan's podcast. "I have a right to try and to fail... to start over."
He grew up poor in Cameroon, where he was subjected to child labor.
"I had to work very hard when I was a child, about 10 years old," he said to Businessinsider.
Now, he works dismantling people's jaws at the UFC.
