Francis Ngannou returns to the cage this weekend to face Renan Ferreira in the PFL. Oddschecker has all the lowdown on the fight, best odds and markets.

The former UFC champion is getting ready to make his MMA return after almost three years away from the sport when he takes on Ferreira in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The heavyweight superstar, dubbed ‘The Predator’, last fought in UFC back in January 2022, before pursuing a career in boxing. But following defeats to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, Ngannou joined the Professional Fighters League on a multi-fight deal.

Ngannou’s first taste of PFL action comes on October 19 against PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira for the PFL Super Fight title. You can CLICK HERE to order Ngannou vs Ferreira which will be shown on DAZN pay-per-view.

Standing at a humungous 6ft8, Ferreira, nicknamed ‘Problema’, is a fearsome opponent and has backed up his formidable presence with top-class performances in the PFL Smart Cage. The 34-year-old Brazilian has won his last four fights, helping him clinch the PFL heavyweight title during the 2023 season.
