From a sand miner in Cameroon, making an arduous journey across 1/3 of the length of Africa to Morocco, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar to get to Spain on his 7th attempt, finding his way to Paris after spending months in a Spanish prison, living homeless and then stumbling into MMA, training for a few years and then making it into the UFC, and then in another few short years becoming heavyweight champion, and then in another couple more years, actually getting a split decision against the undefeated heavyweight boxing champion. Francis's story is one of the greatest stories of the modern era and should be told around the world.

Now I know why Francis is such a soft spoken, overly humble, meek person. He felt worthless as a child, while living a harder life than most other children on the planet. He doesn't have the huge ego, a brash and boastful attitude or think hes better than ANYONE. He probably still feels like that kid in the African sand mines deep inside, and will probably always have a deep seated fear that he could lose everything he has and go back to that life again. I know one thing, NO ONE else with his amount of fame, money, and adulation is as humble as he remains, and no one else appreciates these things more than him. He is a true KING who deserves every bit of the good life he has now. 🙏

It’s painful just speaking from experience. The feeling of so many people around you and yet not a soul notices your existence. Simple things such as lunch time and walking in the hallways becomes anxiety inducing when you have absolutely no one to walk/sit with. Fire drills are the worst as everyone around you is talking and you don’t know where to stand or what to do as you have no one to talk with. Constantly being alone in the world while everyone around you seems to know everyone yet they never speak to you. I hope anyone who reads my words can go out and make a new friend today.. you never know you might save that persons life in more than one way. Stay healthy and safe king’s👑

When you listen to people who 'HAD a dream', they usually gave up at some point and declared defeat OR their idea of 'making it' changed and success became about starting a family for example, and fair enough.
