Can Ngannou and Wilder fight under MMA rules?

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou hinted that there is a possibility of his fight against the former WBC title holder in the heavyweight division Deontay Wilder according to MMA rules.

“We’ve already discussed something with the PFL, what could potentially happen. Deontay Wilder has been training under the rules of MMA for some time now because it is possible. Nothing has been agreed upon, but something has caught my attention. It makes sense,” Ngannou said on The MMA Hour.

Let us remember that last weekend Ngannou made his professional boxing debut, losing by split decision to Tyson Fury.
