Exciting news in the world of MMA as Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira prepare to face off for a new championship belt this weekend.
The heavyweight showdown is set to headline the upcoming PFL pay-per-view event, with the coveted PFL Superfight heavyweight title up for grabs in Saudi Arabia. This marks Ngannou’s debut fight for PFL after relinquishing the UFC heavyweight title.
In a recent announcement, PFL unveiled the new Superfight titles that Ngannou and Ferreira, as well as Cris Cyborg and Larissa Pacheco, will be vying for. Take a look at the sleek new belts below.
Ngannou will be making his MMA return following his victory over Ciryl Gane in a UFC heavyweight title defense earlier this year. Since then, he has ventured into the boxing world, facing off against top heavyweights Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Ferreira, on the other hand, has been on a tear with four consecutive wins, including a stunning 21-second knockout of Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader at PFL vs. Bellator event.
Cyborg is set to make her promotional debut after a year-long hiatus from MMA. The Bellator women’s featherweight champion showcased her boxing skills with two knockout wins in 2024.
Pacheco, the reigning back-to-back $1 million PFL champion, is coming off a victory over UFC fighter Kayla Harrison at the PFL World Championships 2022.
