The price for the upcoming PFL: Battle of the Giants pay-per-view on Oct. 19 has been revealed with the main event featuring the return of Francis Ngannou as he clashes with Renan Ferreira in his first MMA bout in over two years.
The PPV cost is $49.99 in the United States and Canada and £19.99 in the United Kingdom. The card takes place from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
PFL officials confirmed the prices to MMA Fighting on Wednesday.
The card serves as Ngannou’s PFL debut after he inked a lucrative contract with the promotion following his exit from the UFC. Ngannou left the UFC as heavyweight champion after defending his title against Ciryl Gane but then he was forced to sit out for the next year while recovering from knee surgery.
Once he hit free agency, Ngannou signed with PFL but ended up taking a pair of boxing matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua before booking his return to MMA in October.
Meanwhile, Ferreira steps into the fight after demolishing Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader in a matchup that all but guaranteed the winner would welcome Ngannou to the PFL.
Another marquee matchup on the PFL PPV features Cris Cyborg making her long awaited return to action as she faces two-time PFL champion Larissa Pacheco at featherweight. More recently, Cyborg has been focused on boxing but she comes back to MMA with a tough challenge awaiting her as Pacheco has won her past 10 fights in a row including a victory over current UFC star Kayla Harrison.
Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen also returns on the card to defend his belt against Fabian Edwards.
