The former UFC heavyweight champion returned to the MMA this weekend against Renan Ferreira in a PFL heavyweight title fight and smoked his opponent in the first round to claim the PFL heavyweight title. Francis Ngannou gave a glimpse of his fight IQ, taking down the Brazilian heavyweight, slipping an arm bar, and then launching an all-out attack when he took the back of Renan Ferreira. His impressive victory over his opponent made the MMA community shower praise on him, and the reigning UFC heavyweight champion is among the fighters who congratulated Francis for his PFL debut win.
What an amazing job Francis did tonight, displayed a complete MMA game. Great kicks, great takedowns. It feels good to see him shine. Wow congratulations Champ, I see you.

Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones in 2025?
During the interview, Francis Ngannou hinted at a potential super fight between him and Jon Jones in 2025 as Saudi Arabian Turki Alalshikh has ties with both PFL and UFC and a crossover between these two organization’s heavyweights can happen in the future.
I see him too, and I will be watching him on Nov. 16… There’s a chance [we could fight]. I can’t tell on a scale of one to 10, I can’t tell how much, but I know there’s a chance. I know that fight also interests Turki, and not many things resist him… I know the truth, I’ve been behind the scenes, so I know exactly what happened, and I do believe that he [Jones] wants to fight.”
