RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The first faceoffs of PFL: Battle of the Giants fight week are in the books, and MMA Junkie was on the scene to capture them.
In the main event, former UFC champion Francis Ngannou (17-3) takes on 2023 PFL champion Renan Ferreira (13-3) in a heavyweight clash. And in the co-main event, Bellator women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (27-2-1) meets two-time PFL champion Larissa Pacheco (23-4). The promotion’s first super fights title belts are at stake in both fights.
Still three days before they meet in the cage, all four fighters got a chance to size each other up Wednesday at a promotional appearance. So, too, did Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards ahead of their rematch, as well as former Bellator champ A.J. McKee and Paul Hughes.
You can watch all four main card faceoffs in the video above.
PFL: Battle of the Giants takes place Saturday at The Mayadeen. The main card streams on DAZN and ESPN+ pay-per-view.
