Francis Ngannou calls President Trump ‘a shame for America’ in response to alleged immigration comments'.

Way to go, Ariel. Way to get the Trump supporters, who really don't require much of a poke to get the fires of hatred and/or suspicion stirred, offside with the Refugee who is vying for citizenship and acceptance in the new country where he is is trying to make a go of new life through hard work. I'm sure that helped him out a bunch and really served to help engender him to a massive segment of the American community especially given how many conservatives are UFC fans.
What has this got to do with fighting? Nothing. Francis made a series of other comments about his rise from homelessness to fighting for the HW title of the world which would have made quality--and highly entertaining reading, but instead, you had to focus on a flip remark which you were deliberately fishing for, for purposes of your gain, and at the expense of someone who can afford to exploited the least.
What a greasy, scurrilous little prick you are; coaxing Francis (deliberately) whose grasp of English isn't strong into making a comment which can be construed as polemic. And doing it for clicks, for purposes of pure sensationalism. You have deliberated goaded a fighter into making a political statement which a large section of the MMA fan base will find repellent to the point that they will hate on him, for a 'scoop'. Way to exploit the poor grasp of English of an up and coming guy who needs bad press, and bad feelings, from the members of his new community like a hole in the ******* head.
You're a ******* disgrace. A bin-sifting, tub-thumping, shifter -through of ****; a tabloid trash shock jock of a man and I hope you get your credentials removed again--and this time, permanently.

Do you know how many articles are posted that aren’t even about fighting? Hell, Conor’s in the news every single day, and he doesn’t even fight anymore. For ****s sake, Chuck Liddell is still in the news.
You’re just being a typical liberal that gets butthurt by everything. Francis said he believes that Trump is a “shame for America.” I don’t agree with what he said, as Trump is the best thing that’s happened in this country in eight years, but you don’t see me getting my panties in a twist just because he said something that I don’t agree with?
Ngonnou was being interviewed, and that was his response. He could’ve pulled a Tito or Jones and just not answer the question, yet he did.

You know, I have to wonder; sometimes, when you're riding your sister (who is also your mother) over a pot of squirrel viddles simmering softly over coalfire, and the sound of banjos is drifting throug the woods gently lit blue by the full moon, do you sometimes look up at the stars and realize that you're on a planet in the universe, and on that planet exist other nations and cultures that are not your own?
I doubt it. You probably think that if you walked long enough you'd fall of the edge of the continent into the black abyss of space. If ******* only!
I doubt you've ever even left the states or indeed the 40 square miles of swampland in which you were conceived born and raised.
And moreover you're such a ******* pillock that you've completely misunderstood the ultimate point of my post, which is that Helwani deliberately led Ngannou into making a politicized statement for purposes of creating a subsequent media circus used to harvest page clicks, and did so at the expense of Ngannou's reputation.
Pfft. What a lightweight. You are as appealing as a soiled mattress left out the front of a thrift store as donation, in the rain.
Don't ever waste my time again.

Trump's not wrong, we should have merit based immigration and he's definitely not wrong about bringing in less people from lesser primitive countries, that's what 50% of us voted for...
