Both championships are vacant.\n\n<h2>Nemkov vs. Ferreira: Clash of Titans in the Octagon<\/h2>\n\nVadim Nemkov (19-2) will seek to add a new title to his successful career when he faces Renan Ferreira (13-4). Ferreira comes to the fight after an outstanding performance in the PFL tournament.\n\n<h2>Cyborg in Search of a New Title<\/h2>\n\nCris Cyborg (28-2), former UFC and Bellator MMA champion, will make her PFL debut in search of the women&#8217;s featherweight title. Her opponent will be Sara Collins (6-0).\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Francis Ngannou&#8217;s Future in the PFL<\/h2>\n\n\nPFL has not announced plans with heavyweight superstar Francis Ngannou (18-3), who signed in 2023 and has only fought once in the promotion.\n\nNgannou entered boxing in 2023 and lost to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. He returned to MMA in October 2024 and defeated Ferreira by TKO in the first round, but hasn&#8217;t fought again since then. The 39-year-old Cameroonian could face the winner of the December fight.\n\nCyborg, 40 years old, is the most recognized figure of the event. She made her debut in the PFL in October 2024, establishing herself as one of the best fighters in the world by defeating the PFL two-weight champion, Larissa Pacheco, by unanimous decision.\n\nCyborg has been active in boxing in 2025, achieving two knockout victories in March and another in May. She will face Collins, who hasn&#8217;t fought in over a year, but is coming off a first-round submission victory over Leah McCourt.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PFL Announces Stellar Card in Lyon, France with Title Fights The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has confirmed two title fights to headline its December 13 event in Lyon, France.
