The Professional Fighters League's return to Saudi Arabia is now set following the PFL "Battle of the Giants" weigh-ins.

The pay-per-view card is stacked with three superfight championship bouts, with the mixed martial arts return of Francis Ngannou headlining the event. Renan Ferreira will look to ruin the superstar's PFL debut, and both men came in under the 265-pound limit. All fighters on the card made weight, including the four other title fight participants as Cristiane Justino and Larissa Pacheco will square off for featherweight gold, while Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards clash for middleweight glory.

Ngannou (17-3) finally returns to MMA after going winless in boxing after having a competitive bout with Tyson Fury and getting viciously knocked out by Anthony Joshua. "The Predator" previously defended his UFC heavyweight title in January 2022 by winning a decision over Ciryl Gane. The 38-year-old enters the fight with the lineal heavyweight title and riding a six-fight win streak. Ngannou officially weighed 256.8 pounds, making him the lighter man in the cage.

Ferreira (13-3, 3 NC) has been far more active as he's had eight fights since his opponent last fought. "Problema" most recently put four knockouts together in a row and won the 2023 PFL heavyweight season in the process. His most recent victim was Ryan Bader, who lasted just 21 seconds in the cage against the Brazilian. Ferreira stepped on the scale at 261.5 pounds.

The PFL "Battle of the Giants" main card will air live on ESPN+ and Dazn pay-per-view at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. Meanwhile, the prelims begin on ESPN+ at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT.
