|Francis Ngannou’s Debut Opponent Revealed in PFL|
Since leaving the UFC and signing for the PFL, fans have eagerly awaited Francis Ngannou’s first appearance in the SmartCage. After a long wait, an official opponent has finally been named for the heavyweight star.
‘The Predator’ has been absent from the mixed martial arts scene since his departure from the UFC earlier this year. In his last fight, he showcased his grit and defended his title against the then-undefeated Ciryl Gane.
In a thrilling main event at the recent PFL vs. Bellator event, Renan Ferreira claimed a stunning first-round knockout victory over Ryan Bader. Not only did Ferreira win the Super Belt, but he also earned the opportunity to welcome Ngannou to the PFL.
Renan Ferreira, also known as ‘Problema,’ is a towering heavyweight, standing at 6 feet 8 inches tall. With an impressive 85% knockout win rate, he has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the sport.
Ferreira wasted no time in his last fight, landing a devastating right hand that sent Bader crashing to the canvas in just 21 seconds. He followed up with ground and pound, forcing the referee to intervene and stop the fight.
During his post-fight interview, Ferreira called out Francis Ngannou, expressing his eagerness to face him in the PFL cage or even in a boxing ring.
However, before his PFL debut, Ngannou has another challenge to overcome. On March 8, he will step into the boxing ring for his second professional boxing match against Anthony Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This will mark Ngannou’s second foray into boxing, following a controversial defeat to Tyson Fury in his first venture.
Stay tuned for Ngannou’s highly anticipated PFL debut and see if he can continue his dominance in the SmartCage!
