In Photos: Francis Ngannou shows off possible new Rolls Royce as he turns 38
Despite coming off two massive paydays from his boxing fights, Francis Ngannou could be in line for an even bigger night on Oct. 19 when he makes his PFL debut. One month out from his MMA return, 'The Predator' celebrated his 38th birthday in style.
In an Instagram post on Sept. 5, Ngannou announced that he "officially" turned 38 with just over one month to go until his scheduled fight with Renan Ferreira. The Cameroonian celebrated his birthday in style in a way that few others could replicate.
In his post, Ngannou showed off his luxury Rolls Royce.

While the exterior did not look like a brand-new vehicle, the seating and interior design appeared to have been recently detailed.

Ngannou has unquestionably had a tough year in 2024 but appeared to be in good spirits on his birthday, much to the delight of fans.
The self-proclaimed lineal combat sports heavyweight champion will compete with Ferreira for the PFL Super Fights 265-pound title on Oct. 19. The fight will headline the PFL's second pay-per-view card of 2024 with Ferreira in the main event of both events.
Francis Ngannou's PFL contract
In the time since he left the UFC to sign with the PFL, Francis Ngannou has quickly become one of the highest-paid combat sports athletes in the world. 'The Predator' has not directly revealed the terms of his contract with the PFL but is assumed to be making roughly $10 million per fight.
However, his most lucrative opportunities came in the boxing ring. Per the Sports Business Journal, Ngannou made around $20 million for his bout with Tyson Fury followed by another massive payday against Anthony Joshua five months later.
Ngannou also revealed upon signing with the PFL that his opponent — in this case, Renan Ferreira — will make at least $2 million to fight him. Even with 'Problema' winning the 2023 PFL heavyweight tournament, the fight would easily be the biggest paycheck of his career.
