Ngannou (18-3 MMA) was returning to MMA this evening for the first time since scoring a unanimous decision victory over Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 in January of 2022. ‘The Predator’ had most previously competed in boxing, where he suffered a brutal second-round knockout loss to Anthony Joshua (see that here).

Meanwhile, Renan Ferreira (13-4 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since scoring a first-round TKO victory over former Bellator champion Ryan Bader this past February. ‘Problema’ had entered the contest sporting a four-fight win streak, with all four of those victories coming by way of KO / TKO.

Tonight’s ‘Ngannou vs. Ferreira’ super fight resulted in a brutal first-round knockout victory for ‘The Predator’. The former UFC champion was able to get the fight to the ground in the early moments of the contest and proceeded to demolish Renan Ferreira with some nasty ground and pound. The referee eventually pulled Francis Ngannou off but not before the now former PFL champ was put out cold.
