Francis Ngannou made a powerful return to MMA, knocking out Renan Ferreira in less than four minutes. After leaving the UFC for over two years, this fight was actually his first. After a brief boxing stint, including a close loss to Tyson Fury, Ngannou returned to the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and dedicated the victory to his late son, Kobe.

He ended the fight with a ground-and-pound after a quick takedown. In the co-main event, Cris Cyborg won the PFL Super fight championship, defeating Larissa Pacheco by unanimous decision.
