Ngannou's MMA Comeback Set for October.

Francis Ngannou will make his MMA comeback against Renan Ferreira on October 19.

Francis Ngannou will make his Professional Fighters League (PFL) debut against Renan Ferreira on October 19. 

Ngannou, a former UFC champion, is returning to MMA after focusing on boxing for the past year. He faced Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua but lost both bouts.

On the same card, former Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg will fight PFL two-weight champion Larissa Pacheco. 

The winners of both bouts will earn the new "super-fights championship belt" from the PFL.

Ferreira, a 34-year-old Brazilian, won the PFL's 2023 heavyweight tournament and has been a top contender. He holds a record of 13 wins, three losses, and three no-contests, with 11 of his wins coming by knockout.
