Francis Ngannou is making a highly anticipated return to mixed martial arts as he faces Renan Ferreira in a thrilling matchup on a star-studded fight card for the Professional Fighters League (PFL). This exciting clash will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where fans can catch the Ngannou vs. Ferreira live stream.
In a dramatic face-off at the final press conference, Ngannou exuded confidence, staring down Ferreira as he proclaimed he would "let him know who the king is." The former UFC champion, known as "The Predator," will step into the cage wearing striking yellow and black trunks, while Ferreira will don grey and black gear.

Ngannou will be making his PFL debut, having signed with the organization in May 2023. This move marks a significant moment for the Professional Fighters League, which was founded by Donn Davis in 2018, and signals the beginning of a new chapter for its Super Fights division. The last time we saw Ngannou compete in the cage was at UFC 270 in January 2022, where he successfully defended his heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane. However, his relationship with the UFC ended following a contentious contract dispute, leading to his departure from the promotion in January 2023.
Despite stepping away from the UFC, Ngannou's fame has only grown, especially after his high-profile boxing matches in Riyadh. He gave Tyson Fury a run for his money, going the distance in their bout, and while he faced a second-round knockout from Anthony Joshua, he continues to capture the attention of fight fans worldwide.
