The first
Professional Fighters League
card of the year is a pay-per-view
pitting the PFL’s best against Bellator
MMA
fighters.

The
PFL vs. Bellator Champs
card is headlined by an intriguing
heavyweight battle between Renan
Ferreira
and Ryan Bader.
The stakes are major as the winner will face Francis
Ngannou
in his promotional debut. All fighters made weight,
although there was a late cancellation as Gabriel
Braga
versus Patricio
Freire
is off after Braga was ruled unable to compete, per the
promotion.

Ferreira (12-3, 3 NC) lived up to his „Problema“ nickname by
winning the 2023 PFL season with impressive knockouts over Denis
Goltsov
, Maurice
Greene
and Matheus
Scheffel
. The Brazilian’s last defeat came in 2022 to Ante Delija.
Meanwhile, Bader (31-7, 1 NC) is also on a three-fight win streak,
having notched title defenses against Valentin
Moldavsky
, Cheick Kongo
and Fedor
Emelianenko
. „Darth“ will make his PFL debut at the age of
40.

The PFL vs. Bellator Champs event will stream on ESPN+
pay-per-view. Prelim fights begin at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT, while
the pay-per-view kicks off at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT.
