Francis Ngannou's clash with Renan Ferreira is "Godzilla versus King Kong" when the pair meet at PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants this weekend, live on DAZN.
The French-Cameroonian fighter returns to the cage for the first time in almost three years, and will make his debut with the promotion at Riyadh's Kingdom Arena on Saturday.
Ngannou left UFC in January 2022, but has not fought since as an MMA fighter, instead taking the time out to face Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in professional boxing bouts.
