Bellator might have won the war against PFL, but Renan Ferreira won the biggest battle against Ryan Bader.
Ferreira, the 2023 PFL heavyweight champion, needed just 21 seconds to dispatch of Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader. A stiff right hand from “La Problema” sent his opponent to the canvas and after a flurry of strikes, the referee stepped in to call the contest. Now the question is, how long will it be until we get Ferreira vs. Francis Ngannou?
Outside of Ferreira’s win, the night belonged to Bellator, as Johnny Eblen, Jason Jackson, Vadim Nemkov, Yoel Romero and AJ McKee all earned emphatic victories against their PFL counterparts. Bellator took home three “super belts” while PFL took home one via the main event.
