Ngannou stops Renan Ferreira with left hook in PFL debut after unclear uppercut

Francis Ngannou secured a knockout victory over Renan Ferreira in the first round, though the decisive moment came from a left hook rather than the earlier uppercut shown in replays. Netflix's broadcast did not provide clear replay angles to confirm whether an earlier uppercut landed cleanly. Ferreira, who weighed only 100 kg at the weigh-in, was 16 kg lighter than Ngannou—the largest weight advantage Ngannou has ever had in a fight. Despite the fight lasting 4.5 minutes due to grappling exchanges and clinch work, Ngannou dominated all striking exchanges and appeared to be in excellent form both visually and performance-wise. The victory makes the cancellation of his planned bout with Vadim Nemkov even more disappointing for fans.
