COACH FERNAND LOPEZ SHARES HIS REGRETS IN THE FACE OF THE STATEMENTS HE HAS HELD WITH REGARD TO FRANCIS NGANNOU.
Fernand Lopez worked for a long time in hand with Francis Ngannou, and together they traced a remarkable course in the world of MMA. Their collaboration had started at a time when the Cameroonian fighter faced financial difficulties, and it was thanks to Lopez's vision and commitment that Ngannou was able to climb to new heights. As an emblematic coach of MMA Factory, Fernand Lopez was the mentor who accompanied Ngannou to the UFC, where the latter culminated by becoming champion, thus realizing a dream that seemed inaccessible. Only, the collaboration suddenly stopped in 2019 for financial reasons between Fernand Lopez and Francis Ngannou.
During an interview for the program "Les Funérailles du Tabou", Fernand Lopez took the time to return to some of his past statements and expressed his regrets: "I am the disappointed big brother of my little brother Francis Ngannou , and I dared to say publicly what I thought about bottom of me It was a big mistake. A monumental error, which should not be made. Not because it’s Francis or someone else, but because, quite simply, it’s not the thing to do. ”
The husband of artist Charlotte Dipanda then adds that: "You can see him during my career: things have never happened in the same way after that. Never again, I haven't talked about one of my students in trouble, because in the end, it doesn't honor me. It does not honor anyone to publicly expose their feelings, however real as they are. I learned a lesson. " He finishes by specifying that "the case of Francis Ngannou, for example, I regret it. No matter the reason you can have, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't work. People don't want to know. You can be an icon, a high -level sportsman, but they don't want to hear about your faults. ”
Despite these tensions, The Predator continued its ascent to the UFC, becoming champion of the heavyweight division and beating another talent of MMA Factory, Ciryl Gane. Today, the Batié native is champion of the PFL, notably thanks to an impressive victory over Renan Ferreira. This success shows that he did not leave these words which were to be said in private how specifies him Fernand Lopez in his interview, prevent him from continuing his ascent .
