Ngannou (17-3) exited the UFC in 2023 following contract disputes, leaving the company as the lineal UFC heavyweight champion. "The Predator" signed with the PFL but has mainly competed in boxing bouts. The Cameroonian understands the challenge ahead of him in his first fight in the SmartCage.
"We don't fight names, we fight talent, and let me tell you something, this guy has talent, and from all my opponents I think he's definitely going to be one of my toughest fights, let's just be serious here," Ngannou said to Ariel Helwani via Blood Elbow.
"For me, as I'm taking it, he's very serious, I see this fight as the underdog, I feel like the underdog, yeah."
Ferreira (13-3, 3 NC) won the PFL heavyweight tournament in 2023. It took less than a minute for "Problema" to take out Ryan Bader to secure a shot at Ngannou. With eleven wins via knockout, Ferreira is eager to engage with someone like Ngannou, who has twelve wins via the power punch.
"Both Francis and I have similar styles," Ferreira told Sportskeeda. "This just happens to be the style that fans enjoy watching and following. So it's just two massive guys with heavy hands that go out there and drop people. So what's not to love?"
