PFL vs. Bellator Champs Weigh-in Results: Freire vs. Braga Canceled

The first Professional Fighters League card of the year is a pay-per-view pitting the PFL's best against Bellator MMA fighters.

The PFL vs. Bellator Champs card is headlined by an intriguing heavyweight battle between Renan Ferreira and Ryan Bader. The stakes are major as the winner will face Francis Ngannou in his promotional debut. All fighters made weight, although there was a late cancellation as Gabriel Braga versus Patricio Freire is off after Braga was ruled unable to compete, per the promotion.

Ferreira (12-3, 3 NC) lived up to his "Problema" nickname by winning the 2023 PFL season with impressive knockouts over Denis Goltsov, Maurice Greene and Matheus Scheffel. The Brazilian's last defeat came in 2022 to Ante Delija. Meanwhile, Bader (31-7, 1 NC) is also on a three-fight win streak, having notched title defenses against Valentin Moldavsky, Cheick Kongo and Fedor Emelianenko. "Darth" will make his PFL debut at the age of 40.
