Francis Ngannou is set to make his MMA return with a fight against Renan Ferreira, tentatively scheduled for October 19 in Saudi Arabia. Ngannou, who last competed in MMA in January 2022, expressed his excitement about rejoining the PFL and confirmed that the promotion is working towards finalizing the matchup. Following his recent boxing bouts against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, Ngannou is eager to re-establish himself in MMA, emphasizing Ferreira's athleticism and skills as a formidable first opponent. While the fight date is not yet confirmed, discussions are ongoing, and the potential addition of Cedric Doumbe to the card is also being explored. Ngannou holds a six-fight winning streak in MMA and is looking to capitalize on his past success as he transitions back into the cage.
