Ngannou will be making his PFL debut, having signed with the organization in May 2023. His presence significantly bolsters the Professional Fighters League, founded by Donn Davis in 2018, and its newly established Super Fights division. The last time Ngannou stepped into the octagon was at UFC 270 in January 2022, where he defended his heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane, winning by unanimous decision. This marked his final fight under the UFC banner, as he parted ways with the promotion amid a contract dispute, which led to Dana White stripping him of the title in January 2023.
Despite leaving the UFC, Ngannou's star power remains undiminished. He captured global attention with two high-profile boxing matches in Riyadh, facing Tyson Fury in October 2023 and Anthony Joshua in May 2024. Ngannou’s performance against Fury, where he went the distance, nearly earned him the title, while his encounter with Joshua ended in a second-round knockout.
