Video – Francis Ngannou butts head with Renan Ferreira during fierce stare down ahead of PFL fight

Set to make his return tomorrow night in his PFL debut, Cameroonian heavyweight star, Francis Ngannou firmly locked horns with his opponent, Renan Ferreira during their official staredown following today’s weigh-ins — with the duo finally set to settle their differences in the SmartCage tomorrow night.

Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, makes his return to mixed martial arts for the first time since he unified the above-mentioned titles two years ago with a unanimous decision win over then-interim champion, Ciryl Gane.
