PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira of Brazil has announced that he has decided to take a brief pause in his career.

The Brazilian intends to wait for a box office bout with former UFC titleholder Francis Ngannou, who joined with the PFL last year, but is focused on competing in professional boxing for now.

"I've fought in PFL tournaments three years in a row, it's exhausting. I fought in November and February with almost no rest, my body is tired. I need to rest and wait for new opportunities. Ngannou? He has a contract with the PFL, but I, if anything, ready to meet him and in the ring," - quotes Ferreira MMA Fighting.
