PFL faceoff video: Francis Ngannou, Renan Ferreira literally go head to head for intense moment
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – There are few matchups in MMA that can provide a more stunning visual than Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira, and that was on display for the final time Friday ahead of the pair battling in the PFL: Battle of the Giants main event.
Ngannou (17-3) and Ferreira (13-3) got a final look at each other at ceremonial weigh-ins with an intense staredown in which they literally went head to head. The scene sets the stage for their inaugural PFL heavyweight super fight title clash at The Mayadeen (ESPN+ pay-per-view, DAZN).
It will be former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou's first MMA fight since January 2022 as he returns in a new promotion against 2023 season champion Ferreira, who is fresh off a 21-second knockout of Ryan Bader in February.
Check out the video below to see Ngannou and Ferreira have their final faceoff at ceremonial weigh-ins.
