In an electrifying night at the PFL: Battle of the Giants event in Riyadh, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou made his comeback to mixed martial arts with an explosive performance. Facing Renan Ferreira in a much-anticipated Super Fight, Ngannou wasted no time in showcasing his ferocious ability, securing a victory with a first-round TKO.
