Video: Francis Ngannou, Renan Ferreira have first faceoff. Is the fight generating buzz?

The first promotional event for PFL’s upcoming pay-per-view featuring Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira is in the books.

Last week, the two heavyweight giants traveled to Washington, D.C. for a press conference promoting their Oct. 19 title bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A lot came out of the event, including an intense faceoff, several verbal jabs, and even some controversial comments from Ferreira –which were later clarified.

Is this fight between Ngannou (17-3 MMA, 0-0 PFL) and Ferreira (13-3 MMA, 7-1 PFL) generating the buzz PFL is hoping for?

MMA Junkie’s Matt Wells, Nolan King, Mike Bohn, and host “Gorgeous” George discuss the latest surrounding Ngannou vs. Ferreira and the first press conference promoting the event.

Watch their discussion in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s complete episode of “Spinning Back Clique” below on YouTube.
