Francis Ngannou and Cris Cyborg are set to headline the most significant fight card in Professional Fighters League history. The event, scheduled for October 19, will feature Ngannou taking on PFL Heavyweight Champion Renan “Problema” Ferreira for the new PFL Super Fights Championship. In the co-main event, Cris Cyborg, the Bellator Women’s Featherweight champion, will face Larissa Pacheco, a two-time and two-division PFL champion, in a highly anticipated women’s MMA showdown.
Ngannou, who last competed in MMA in January 2022, will make his PFL debut after signing with the organization in 2023. His opponent, Ferreira, stands at 6-foot-8 and has shown exceptional athleticism since training at American Top Team. Ferreira claimed the 2023 PFL Heavyweight title and is now on a collision course with Ngannou.
Cyborg, a legend in MMA, has faced and defeated numerous elite competitors throughout her career. She is gearing up to battle Pacheco, who has established herself as a dominant force in the PFL with two annual championships under her belt.
The event's location is yet to be announced, but fans can expect an action-packed fight card with potentially some splash debuts. Ngannou's recent boxing matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have kept him in the spotlight, while Cyborg's storied career adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming event.
