PFL Battle Of The Giants: Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira Live Results & Highlights

PFL Battle of the Giants: Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira takes place on pay-per-view today, and MMA News has you covered with all the action!

The Professional Fighters League hosts its second PPV of the year at The Mayadeen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, where the main attraction will see former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou make his long-awaited return to mixed martial arts .

Having not competed in the cage since a victory over Ciryl Gane in January 2022 — completing a pair of boxing matches opposite Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in the period since — “The Predator” will look to make an emphatic MMA comeback at the expense of last year’s PFL heavyweight title winner, Renan Ferreira.

Setting the stage for the headliners will be another Super Fights championship clash, with reigning Bellator featherweight queen Cris Cyborg debuting in the SmartCage opposite the PFL’s first two-weight champion, Larissa Pacheco.

Elsewhere, Bellator gold will be on the line in the Middle East when middleweight champ Johnny Eblen runs it back with Fabian Edwards and the stakes will be high when the massively touted Paul Hughes gets a step up in competition against AJ McKee.
