PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira has made a statement regarding his comments about former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
MMAJunkie quotes Ferreira as saying:
Earlier, Ferreira claimed that he would be the biggest challenge in Ngannou’s life this year, after the Cameroonian lost his one-and-a-half-year-old son earlier. This remark drew criticism from MMA fans.
Everything I said was about Francis Ngannou’s year, you get me. He’s coming off two losses in boxing, t🌸wo year layoff (in MMA), at no point did I want to talk about his personal life and everything that went down with his son. That wasn’t my intention. That’s not me, it’s not in my character.
It’﷽s worth noting that the fight between Ngannou and Ferreira is🅺 scheduled for October 19.
Ferreira last stepped into the c🐻age against Ryan Bader in February of this year, where the bout was stopped in the first round and ended in Ferreira's favor by technical knockout. Ferreira boasts a record of 13 wins and three lossesꦚ, with three of his fights being declared no contests.
