Fight Preview
When he stepped away from the UFC in January 2022, Francis Ngannou was the reigning Heavyweight champ. Many considered him the best heavyweight in the world, even better than Jon Jones.
Almost three years have passed since his last MMA fight, and he’s now 38. Does this mean he’s past his prime? He’s got a chance to prove to everyone that’s not the case.
Even though he hasn’t fought an MMA fight for a long time, he has been active, fighting two boxing bouts. On his boxing debut, he gave a real war to Tyson Fury, losing the fight by a (controversial) split decision.
In his second boxing bout – on March 8, 2024 – he got KO-ed in the second round by Anthony Joshua. Should this worry him ahead of the fight for the PFL title?
Well, his opponent Renan Ferreira is a tall guy, who’s even taller than AJ, and he’s a pretty good boxer. He’s coming to Saudi Arabia after four wins in a row, each of which happened by either KO or TKO.
Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira Prediction
Francis Ngannou is the highest-paid MMA fighter in the world. He’s going to earn over $10 million on October 19. In comparison, that’s more than three times more cash than the UFC paid to Conor McGregor for his fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Ngannou needs to justify his salary and the best way to do it is with a spectacular KO/TKO win against Ferreira.
