Here are the results from the PFL’s “Battle of the Giants” card, which took place today in Saudi Arabia.

In the headliner, Francis Ngannou won the promotion’s Superfight heavyweight title, by finishing Renan Ferreira with ground-and-pound strikes in round one. The bout marked the first time Ngannou had competed in MMA, since he defeated Ciyrl Gane by decision at UFC 270 in January, 2022.

Since then, Ngannou had been competing in boxing, recording losses against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. The former UFC heavyweight champ was also competing for the first time since the tragic passing of his infant son.

The card also saw Cris “Cyborg” win the women’s Superfight featherweight title by defeating Larissa Pacheco via unanimous decision. Bellator middleweight champ, Johnny Eblen, also defended his title via a unanimous decision win over Fabian Edwards.
