Ngannou: "I'm leaning towards the Ferreira fight not lasting more than two rounds"

Dmitriy Kel Oct. 17, 2024, 3:25 a.m.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has spoken out about his upcoming fight with PFL titleholder Renan Ferreira.

"He moves a lot and he has good grappling - he's a black belt. If the fight drags on and goes longer than two rounds, it will probably end in a decision. But I'm leaning towards it staying within two rounds and ending in a knockout or a submission. You know, I'm not a black belt but I'm not bad at wrestling and grappling either and I'm working on little tricks," Ngannou said in an interview with Ariel Helwani.

It will be recalled that the Ngannou and Ferreira fight will headline the PFL Super Fights tournament which will take place on October 19 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
