PFL vs. Bellator card: Peter Murray teases major announcement after heavyweight main event

In a recent interview with Sportskeeda MMA, the PFL MMA organization's CEO, Peter Murray, addressed the upcoming much-awaited mega event following the organization's acquisition of Bellator. Murray notably suggested that a major announcement would follow the Renan Ferreira vs. Ryan Bader heavyweight showdown.

On that note, many in the MMA community have been speculating that former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who signed with the PFL in 2023, could grace the SmartCage soon.

The consensus is that Ngannou's promotional debut date and opponent, possibly booking him against the Ferreira-Bader victor, could be the big revelation Murray's hinting at. Nevertheless, that hasn't been confirmed yet. He stated:

"We're gonna deliver the fans the best fight on top of the card and we will be sharing some news following that fight and more to come on the next chapter for the fighter that wins that [main event] fight, you know, more details to follow."
