Three championship titles are at stake this weekend as the Professional Fighters League (PFL) presents its largest fight card to date, titled “Battle of the Giants,” featuring Francis Ngannou facing Renan Ferreira in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
The main event showcases a heavyweight bout between former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and current PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira, who will be competing for the PFL Super Fight belt. This marks Ngannou’s return to mixed martial arts after his notable exit from the UFC and his venture into boxing. Ferreira aims to demonstrate the PFL’s elite talent by battling one of the best heavyweights in MMA.
In the co-main event, Cris Cyborg steps into the cage against Larissa Pacheco in a highly anticipated women’s featherweight super fight. Cyborg, who currently holds the Bellator featherweight championship, is on a quest to add another title to her accolades. Pacheco, the only PFL fighter to secure championships in two different weight classes, aims to defeat another MMA legend to enhance her impressive resume.
The fight card also features a rematch between Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards.
Fans can expect live updates from Riyadh as the event unfolds.
