JAKARTA - Renan Ferreira has just defeated Ryan Bader in the fight for the Super Belt at Kingdom Arena, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, February 24, 2024.

The mixed martial arts (MMA) duel, which brought together the 2023 Professional Fighters League (PFL) heavyweight champion and Bellator heavyweight champion, went fast. Ferreira hit the Bader KO in just 20 seconds.

Interestingly, the fight is not yet the top. The heavyweight Super Belt belt holder was apparently prepared to fight Francis Ngannou in an MMA duel.

PFL has also officially announced that the winner of the Ferreira vs Bader clash will be preparing to welcome Ngannou back to MMA.

PFL has confirmed that Ngannou also agreed to return to MMA. In fact, the Cameroonian-born fighter has already held talks with PFL regarding the duel payment contract.

Ngannou negotiated that his next opponent in MMA should be paid 2 million US dollars.

That figure is bigger than what Ferreira got when he won PFL 2023. At that time, he only got a contract worth 1 million US dollars. Apart from that, Ferreira and Bader's fight became the center of attention. In fact, the world boxing legend, Mike Tyson, witnessed the duel.

Ferreira managed to beat Bader after knocking out his former UFC competitor with his right hand.

It didn't take long for the referee to jump right away and the Brazilian fighter stopped his brutal attack.

The 34-year-old fighter's quick action brought down the Bellator heavyweight champion and immediately became the headline in various newspapers.

Now, Ferreira not only has the right to boast about the achievement of the Super Belt, but also that victory brought her to meet Ngannou.

Meanwhile, Ngannou is now preparing to undergo his second boxing duel against Anthony Joshua on March 8, 2024, in Saudi Arabia.

Previously, Francis Ngannou made his professional boxing debut against Tyson Fury last year. At that time, he lost through a separate decision despite having brought down Fury.
