We've been waiting for Francis Ngannou to return to the cage since his well-documented foray into boxing made him immeasurably more famous and a lot wealthier. Now, probably unchastened, he is back for his first MMA fight since January 2022 to challenge for for the PFL heavyweight belt in Saudi Arabia.

The event is billed as the "Battle of the Giants" and for once the hype lives up to the billing, not least because his opponent is the 6'8" Brazilian Renan Ferreira. Despite his time away, a height, weight and reach disadvantage (see 'Tale of the Tape below) and being three years older than Ferreira, Francis "The Predator" Ngannou starts as favourite. Expect drama from the two big men and a generous display of blunt force trauma.
