After an impressive performance against Tyson Fury in a boxing match, Francis Ngannou is now set to return to the Professional Fighters League (PFL) to compete in mixed martial arts (MMA). While there is a lot of speculation about his next opponent, here are three potential matchups that could be on the horizon.
1. Denis Goltsov
Denis Goltsov may not be a household name, but he is a dangerous heavyweight in MMA. He has had an impressive run in the PFL, making it to the heavyweight final in three consecutive years. With a high finish rate and a well-rounded skill set, Goltsov would be a formidable opponent for Ngannou.
2. Renan Ferreira
Renan Ferreira is another contender in the PFL heavyweight division. Like Ngannou, Ferreira is a physical specimen with impressive knockout power. If Ferreira can put on a spectacular performance in his upcoming fight against Goltsov, a matchup between him and Ngannou could generate a lot of buzz.
3. Ryan Bader
Although Ryan Bader currently holds the Bellator MMA heavyweight title, there have been talks of the PFL acquiring Bellator. If this merger happens, a fight between Bader and Ngannou would be a highly anticipated matchup. Bader’s wrestling background and championship experience make him a legitimate opponent for Ngannou.
While Ngannou’s next move is still uncertain, these potential matchups in the PFL could provide some exciting and competitive fights for the heavyweight champion.
