This Saturday in Saudi Arabia, Big Fran returns to the cage for the first time since January 2022. A lot has transpired since then, as we all know: Francis Ngannou left the UFC amid a bitter contract dispute, he made a lot of money boxing, he suffered unthinkable personal tragedy … and now, he’s going to show up to fulfill his obligations to PFL by fighting Renan Ferreira on the fight company’s “Battle of the Giants” pay-per-view.
Seems like a lot could go wrong here, both for the now 38-year-old Ngannou and the PFL, which frankly has a pretty good PPV card here it doesn’t feel like it has promoted very well. So, does Battle of the Giants come up big … or small?
