The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

Yeah, I brought John Boomba from France.

JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

He assists Dewey sometimes because he has a very good amateur style, which I think is something that I still need to build in my game.

Other than that, I have Tripp, which is my strength and conditioning coach, so I put those elements down.

Top heavyweight like who?

Guido is top right now.

He's my other sparring partner.

I get Jeremiah Milton as well, but no other big name in America.

Listen, I think sometimes we don't give credit to some people because they don't just have a name.

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

Because they haven't had a stage to play on.

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

And we think like, oh, he's nobody.

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

Oh, he's not an elite.

Let me take you some example.

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

Before Andy Ruiz fought Anthony Joshua, would you think about him as an elite fighter?

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

But he was still there, and he was just as good as he is right now.

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

But because he didn't have the scene to be seen, to be exposed, so nobody cared about him.

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

And if you say, oh, I spar with Andy Ruiz, I'm like, yes, but you haven't sparred with him.

The Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #160 with Francis Ngannou

You see?

And there's a lot of people like that out there.
