Francis Ngannou Makes Triumphant MMA Return, Knocks Out Ferreira In Under Four Minutes.
Francis Ngannou made a stunning return to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), defeating Renan Ferreira with a knockout in under four minutes. This victory marks Ngannou’s first MMA fight since his departure from the UFC more than two years ago.
Ngannou, who had recently ventured into professional boxing and narrowly lost to Tyson Fury in a high-profile bout, returned to the Professional Fighters League (PFL) with an impressive display of strength and skill. The fight ended swiftly, with Ngannou executing a quick takedown before finishing Ferreira with a powerful ground-and-pound, securing his first PFL victory.
In an emotional moment, Ngannou dedicated the win to his late son, Kobe, expressing how much the victory meant to him both personally and professionally.
In the co-main event of the evening, Cris Cyborg claimed the PFL Superfight championship, defeating Larissa Pacheco by unanimous decision after a hard-fought contest. Cyborg’s dominant performance earned her another prestigious title in her storied MMA career.
Ngannou’s successful return has sent shockwaves through the MMA world, with fans eagerly anticipating what comes next for the former UFC heavyweight champion.
