It's been announced that former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis "The Predator" Ngannou has signed with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and will compete in the super fight division.
The oddsmakers are always confident in Israel Adesanya.

He's lost 3 fights to Alex Pereira, but the oddsmakers still have him as a favorite heading into this weekend.#UFC287 pic.twitter.com/0MF4krsH1v
Ngannou has been searching for a deal that suits his needs since he left the UFC last year. The partnership with the PFL allows Ngannou to box outside of the promotion, and he is expected to make his PFL debut in mid-2024.
They didn’t just show up as a promotion that was looking for a fighter, but really came as a partner that sees more value in you as a person.
