The Battle Ahead: Ngannou vs. Ferreira
Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou makes his much-anticipated PFL debut after signing with the organization in May 2023. This fight is a significant milestone for the Professional Fighters League and the newly established Super Fights division. Ngannou, now 37, steps into the octagon for the first time since UFC 270 in January 2022, where he defended his heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane, winning by unanimous decision.After leaving the UFC amid a contentious contract dispute that resulted in him being stripped of his title in January 2023, Ngannou made headlines with two boxing matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in Riyadh. Despite a second-round knockout by Joshua, Ngannou showcased his resilience by taking Fury the distance, almost capturing the heavyweight title.
