Is there anyone in modern time whose life is more inspiring than Francis Ngannou?

[ModernMatt]

Bhad Bhabie, shes got an IQ of about 12 and she's made 50 million dollars by the age of 21, if that aint inspiring then I dont know what is

don't know how true it is, but read that she started a scholarship program to underprivileged kids, if thats the case, then she gained some respect from me...which is worth jackshit, hahaha.

From escaping the Cameroon sandmine, becoming the UFC Heavyweight Champion and getting rich.

Beating the UFC and Dana after being disrespected many times, getting set for life from his boxing endeavors.

His life is a movie. Hell, even if he never win a UFC championship, escaping the sandmine, climbing the border and just became a mediocre UFC fighter is also movie material.


I was wondering if there is anyone in modern time whose life is as epic and inspirational as Francis Ngannou.

Huh.....i think you need to be reminded that getting brain damage in some cage and ring somewhere in some trashy fighting promotion is typically not a top layer inspiration.

Elon Musk? He's sort of our generation's Ben Franklin, but also our generation's Howard Hughes.

Yeah coming from a family that owns emerald mines...it must've been tough for him.

No but coming from absolutely nothing, and escaping multiple times....to becoming a millionaire is pretty inspirational if you ask me sir.

It is but ts implies it s the most inspiring, which it clearly is not.

The heading says "is there anyone", which implies hes looking for someone YOU find more inspirational

Dr. Johnny Kim is the closest real-life example of someone actually being The Batman, Iron Man, Myg, and Sherlock Holmes. It's good that you mentioned him.

Besides Dr. Johnny Kim, I also want to see a movie based on Lee Murray's life. In my opinion, Lee Murray did so much already.

Nah sir. I think i am correct on the implication. It s more of a rethorical question, sir.

Musk is scum. He wants to merge humans with machines, he's a eugenicist.

Though he was not bigger inspire than the #BigBlackCombatant, #bluecollarwarrior Slambo going from homeless man to being chose by Jesus Christ must be up there for many including my self.

Uncle Dana. From a tae bo instructor to becoming the most influential MMA figure.

Yeah, there's plenty. Not sure the "nobody ever believed the 6'5 300 lb jacked phenom could ever become an athlete" is very believable.

Just with fighters alone, there's quite a lot who had just shit upbringings. Jose Aldo grew up in a favela and slept under the mats at his gym, Mike Tyson used to get the shit kicked out of him by gang members and learned to box in a juvenile prison, Manny Pacquiao is like 5'2 and lived on the street and dropped out of high school to work construction for like a dollar/day when he was like 14 and didn't get his diploma till he was 30, and now he's the most famous guy in the Philippines worth $250 million and is a senator.

Jack Ma rode his bike 20 miles to give tours to foreigners since he was 12, it took him 2 years to get into high school because he couldn't pass the entrance exam, then he failed the college entrance exam a bunch of times and couldn't even get a job as a waiter because he was too short and ugly, and now he's a billionaire.
