Francis Ngannou makes his highly anticipated return to MMA this Saturday with his PFL debut against Renan Ferreira at PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (4 p.m.
ET on ESPN+ PPV, with prelims at 1:30 p.m. on ESPN+). Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, has not competed in MMA since leaving the UFC.
Instead, after signing with PFL in 2023, Ngannou tried his hand at boxing in matches against former heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, respectively.
Ngannou lost both of those fights. During Ngannou's boxing venture, Ferreira went on a dominant run in the PFL, going undefeated in the cage since 2023 (four wins, one no contest).
