Ever since the Professional Fighters League purchased Bellator MMA in 2023, the promise of a cross-promotional spectacle loomed large. The highly anticipated event is now within sight with PFL “PFL vs. Bellator Champs” set to unfold on Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In the main event, PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira will square off against Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader. The winner, according to PFL Chairman Donn Davis, will be primed to challenge former UFC heavyweight titleholder Francis Ngannou in his next MMA outing.
