In a display of sheer dominance, Francis Ngannou claimed his second heavyweight crown by dismantling Renan Ferreira in the first round of their PFL Super Fight Series title bout. Ngannou's brutal ground and pound onslaught proved too much for Ferreira, who succumbed to strikes at 3:32 of the opening frame.

The fight began with a sense of anticipation and excitement. Both Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira had built up a reputation for their devastating power and knockout abilities. However, it was Ngannou who quickly seized control of the fight. A well-timed overhand right sent Ferreira stumbling backward, and Ngannou pounced on the opportunity to take him to the ground.

Once on the mat, Ngannou's ground and pound was relentless. He rained down heavy punches and elbows, leaving Ferreira no chance to defend himself. The Brazilian tried to set up a triangle choke, but Ngannou's superior strength and grappling skills kept him pinned down. As the strikes continued to land, it became clear that Ferreira was in serious trouble.

The referee, sensing the imminent danger, stepped in to stop the fight after Ngannou landed one last devastating blow that put Ferreira all the way out. Ngannou was awarded the PFL Super Fight Series heavyweight championship, recapturing gold after relinquishing his UFC heavyweight championship when he left the UFC.

This victory marked a triumphant return to the cage for Ngannou, who had faced a tumultuous period following his departure from the UFC and the loss of his son Kobe. His reign as the UFC heavyweight champion had been marked by controversy and contract disputes, and his future in MMA had been uncertain. However, his performance against Ferreira proved that he still possesses the skills and determination to be a dominant force in the sport.
