Everything to know about tonight's Francis Ngannou vs, Renan Ferreira Super Fights card - results, winners, losers, video highlights.

In a groundbreaking move, Ngannou also ensured that his opponent, Renan Ferreira, would earn a guaranteed $2 million purse, marking a significant step for fighters' compensation in the Professional Fighters League (PFL).

Renan Ferreira is also super exciting. He made a splash in 2021 when he knocked out a champion named Fabricio Werdum, but that win was changed because Ferreira tapped out early. Since then, he has won four fights in a row against other fighters like Matheus Scheffel and Ryan Bader.

The bout, for the PFL heavyweight title, marks Ngannou’s first fight in the sport since January 2022. On that occasion, the Cameroonian outpointed Ciryl Gane to retain the UFC heavyweight title, a year before leaving the promotion.
