Ferreira or Bader: Ngannou's coach told who he wants to fight with

Eric Niksik, trainer of the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, told who his ward would like to fight with from the pair Renan Ferreira - Ryan Bader, whose fight will take place on February 24 in Saudi Arabia as part of the first joint PFL and Bellator tournament.

“I know that Francis is more interested in Renan, in my opinion. The more I talk to Francis about MMA, the more I realize he’s impressed with Ferreira. When he was fighting, Francis texted me: “I think this guy is good.” I think this fight definitely intrigued him,” Niksik said in an interview with MMAJunkie.

Let us remember that earlier Ngannou himself stated that the winner of the fight between Ferreira and Bader is his potential opponent.
