Skilled Fighters League goes large for its second
pay-per-view occasion of 2024.

The group introduced on Wednesday that the cardboard will probably be
headlined by a heavyweight conflict between former
UFC champ Francis
Ngannou and 2023 PFL champion Renan
Ferreira. Within the co-main occasion, reigning Bellator
MMA featherweight title holder Cris
Cyborg will sq. off towards 2023 PFL 145-pound queen
Larissa
Pacheco.

The PFL pay-per-view occasion — which is titled “Battle of the Giants:
Brace for Impression” — takes place on Oct. 19 and is accessible through
ESPN+. A venue and a value level for the cardboard weren’t introduced.
In each bouts, PFL Tremendous Fights Championship Belts will probably be on the
line.

Ngannou will probably be making his first MMA look since January 2022,
when he defended his heavyweight crown with a unanimous resolution
overcome Ciryl Gane
at UFC 270. “The Predator” is presently on a six-fight successful
streak, with extra victories over Stipe
Miocic, Jairzinho
Rozenstruik, Junior dos
Santos, Cain
Velasquez and Curtis
Blaydes to his credit score. Throughout his hiatus from the cage, Ngannou
tried his hand at skilled boxing, battling Tyson Fury
to a closely-contested break up resolution this previous October earlier than
struggling a second-round knockout loss towards Anthony
Joshua in March.

Ferreira, in the meantime, vanquished Matheus
Scheffel, Maurice
Greene and Denis
Goltsov to seize the 2023 PFL heavyweight crown. “Problema”
returned on the PFL vs. Bellator Champs occasion on Feb. 24, when he
stopped Ryan Bader in
simply 24 seconds.

Cyborg will carry a seven-bout successful streak into her matchup with
Pacheco. The reigning Bellator champion final competed at Bellator
300, the place she defeated Cat Zingano
through first-round TKO this previous October. Cyborg hasn’t misplaced since
falling to Amanda
Nunes through first-round knockout at UFC 232 in December 2018.

Pacheco’s latest run of success is paying homage to Cyborg’s
dominance. The 29-year-old Brazilian has received 10 straight contests,
ending seven of these inside a spherical. Pacheco upset Kayla
Harrison to say the 2022 PFL light-weight championship, and
she adopted that up with 4 consecutive victories at 145 kilos
to grow to be the promotion’s featherweight queen final yr.
