PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants is now complete, as the anticipated return of Francis Ngannou against 2023 PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira didn’t last too long.
Ngannou needed less than a full round to finish Ferreira, as after a series of grapping, the former UFC champ unleashed furious ground-and-pound on his opponent that forced the referee to stop the fight. Ngannou now adds a second promotional title to his resume. After the fight was called, Ngannou was emotional with his family and coaches, as this was the champion’s first fight after the passing of his son in April.
In the co-main event, Cris Cyborg adds a fifth promotion’s title with a unanimous decision victory over two-season PFL champion Larissa Pacheco in a thrilling matchup.
In the Bellator middleweight title bout Johnny Eblen retains his belt as he defeated Fabian Edwards by unanimous decision in a rematch of a bout last year that Eblen won by knockout.
The main card is live on ESPN+ pay-per-view. Here is everything you need to know about PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants.
