Ngannou vs Jones: Heavyweights Clash in Saudi Arabia
At the PFL vs Bellator event in Riyadh, Francis Ngannou took a jab at Jon Jones, calling him ‘fat’. The event featured a champion vs champion bout between PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira and Bellator title holder Ryan Bader. Ferreira knocked out Bader in just 21 seconds, solidifying himself as Ngannou’s next opponent in MMA. Ngannou, who recently left the UFC and signed with the PFL, has yet to make his debut in the promotion. Instead, he made his boxing debut in October, where he faced WBC champion Tyson Fury and lost in a controversial decision. Ngannou is now scheduled to fight Anthony Joshua in Riyadh on 8 March. It remains uncertain when Ngannou will face Ferreira in the MMA ring, as he left the arena quickly after Ferreira’s win.
