The PFL has announced the full card for “Battle of the Giants”, the promotion’s huge event in Riyadh on October 19.
We already knew about four fights, which regardless of the rest of the card, were going to make this one of the biggest nights in the history of the promotion.
Between Francis Ngannou’s MMA return against Renan Ferreira, Cris Cyborg vs Larissa Pacheco, the Bellator middleweight title rematch between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards plus a fantastic lightweight bout with AJ McKee taking on Paul Hughes, this card was certainly PPV worthy.
We now know the remaining six bouts that will fill up the rest of the evening and though they’re still noteworthy, they don’t quite match up in box office value compared to the big four that were previously announced.
Rounding out the main card is a featherweight clash between Switzerland’s Husein Kadimagomaev and Germany’s Zafar Mohsen.
The most notable name to be added is Raufeon Stots, who will be fighting in the featured prelim against Marcos Breno.
This will be Stots’ first fight of the year following his victory over Danny Sabatello in November last year at Bellator 301.
