Francis Ngannou Dominates in PFL Return

Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, made a triumphant return to mixed martial arts on October 19, 2024, at the PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marked his first MMA fight since January 2022, following a brief stint in boxing where he faced Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Ngannou's return was emotionally charged, as he dedicated the fight to his 15-month-old son, Kobe, who passed away earlier this year due to a fatal brain malformation. Despite the emotional toll, Ngannou showed no signs of rust, delivering a devastating performance against Renan Ferreira, the 2023 PFL heavyweight champion.

The fight was over in the first round, with Ngannou showcasing his signature power and technique. He began with a series of leg kicks, followed by a successful takedown. Ferreira attempted a triangle choke, but Ngannou escaped and unleashed a brutal ground-and-pound attack, leading to a knockout victory at 3:32 of the first round.

Ngannou's victory earned him the inaugural PFL Super Fight heavyweight title, solidifying his position as one of the greatest heavyweights in the world. Daniel Cormier, a former UFC champion, praised Ngannou's performance, stating that he could still be considered the best heavyweight in the world alongside Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall.

Results:
- Francis Ngannou def. Renan Ferreira via first-round KO (punches, 3:32)
