Jeddah - Yasmine El Tohamy - NEW YORK: MMA superstar and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Francis ‘The Predator’ Ngannou (17-3) will make his return to the sport on Oct. 19, when he faces the 2023 PFL heavyweight champion Renan “Problema” Ferreira (13-3, 3 NC) for the new PFL Super Fights championship belt.
The co-main event will feature another world title fight between the greatest women’s MMA fighter of all-time, Cris “Cyborg” (27-2, 1 NC), whose legacy will be on the line when she takes on two-division champion Larissa Pacheco (23-4).
The location and venue of the fights will be announced at a later date by the PFL.
“The Professional Fighters League is excited to announce the highly anticipated return of superstar, undisputed heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou to MMA in ‘The Battle of the Giants’ against the most feared heavyweight, 6 feet 8 inch 2023 PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira in the biggest world title fight of the year,” PFL CEO Peter Murray said.
“On Oct. 19 live on ESPN+ in the US and DAZN worldwide, MMA fans around the world will witness a true battle of the greatest fighters on the planet competing for the PFL Super Fights championship belts.”
Ngannou said: “Renan is a great fighter, I have been watching him for years. I have been studying him for years, in fact I’ve been telling people to watch this guy. He’s quite unique, he’s athletic, fast, his size doesn’t impress me as much as his skill.”
MMA fans have been waiting for more than two years for Ngannou’s return. In that time, much has changed in the combat sports landscape, including the promotion for which “The Predator” competes.
Now, following a two-fight game-changing run in the boxing ring against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, Ngannou is returning to face the Brazilian who has fought eight times since Ngannou’s last MMA bout and who viciously finished his last four opponents, including February’s 21-second thrashing of longtime Bellator champion Ryan Bader.
“Cyborg” is considered the greatest women’s athlete in MMA history, fighting and defeating the best featherweights in the world for almost 20 years.
Never one to shy away from fighting the best, Larissa Pacheco, a fellow Brazilian, is currently on a 10-fight winning streak, with victories against Kayla Harrison and former Bellator champion Julia Budd.
Both world champions have cleaned out their divisions and now will fight for the right to claim to be the best in the world.
