"I started from scratch. Absolutely nothing. But I think I've shown that if you have a dream, you can achieve it. Because only I know the conviction that I had, when I was younger, to be a champion. Realizing my dream is an excellent way for me to help the people of my country, who also have dreams, and who only have those dreams to fill their hearts. In Cameroon, many young people see me as their role model and dream of following my example and saying 'I will be an MMA Champion. I will box like Francis'. It's because these people saw me young, destitute. I didn't stand a chance. And now they see me, and they dream about it. They're starting to think it's possible. It isn't easy. It's hard, but it's possible I told myself that among those children I left behind, with their eyes on me... Just for that alone, it would be worth trying something. Today, I am honored to build the first fully equipped MMA and combat sports gymnasium in Cameroon under the leadership of the FRANCIS NGANNOU FOUNDATION. It is for me a way to allow them, like me, to dream". - Francis NGANNOU - In this incredible Odyssey, you'll see the world through the eyes of the man from Bati , who holds the world record for the most powerful strike. Aptly nicknamed THE PREDATOR, Francis is feared by his opponents for his spectacular knockouts. In this new and inspiring book you will discover his dreams, his fights, his sufferings and above all 14 principles of success inspired by the incredible journey of a homeless and undocumented man who landed in France illegally in 2013 and is now the new UFC Superstar. To date he has fought 17 battles, including 14 victories and 3 defeats.
