UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones put his previous bad blood with Francis Ngannou aside to congratulate him on his first-round finish against PFL giant Renan Ferreira.
Ngannou returned to MMA after nearly three years away from the cage on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Headlining an event with the reigning PFL titleholder Ferreira, Ngannou wasted zero time taking down the behemoth Ferreira, ultimately finishing the Brazilian with ground and pound in the first round.
If you missed Ngannou’s finish at Battle of the Giants, watch the highlight below.
The former UFC heavyweight champ Ngannou signed with PFL last year after a long, rocky contract dispute with the UFC brass.
