The recent PFL vs. Bellator: Champs super fight event wasn’t just about the champions colliding. It also became a platform for combat sports superstars like Mike Tyson and Francis Ngannou to make their presence felt. Among them was UFC Heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who generated headlines with his surprising prediction in the upcoming Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua match on March 8.
While expressing his support for fellow MMA fighter Ngannou, Jones shocked many by picking Joshua as the potential victor. Moreover, there was a moment when all these three shared a screen together during the event. So, even though, there have been discussions about the fight between Jones and Ngannou, they decided to keep the rivalry aside for some time.
Why is Mike Tyson laughing so hard?

The highly anticipated PFL vs. Bellator clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, took an unexpected turn when Renan Ferreira delivered a lightning-fast knockout to Ryan Bader in the main event. Despite Bellator dominating the earlier bouts, Ferreira, the PFL champion, put a decisive end to their winning streak in a mere 21 seconds. This created an opportunity for Ngannou’s PFL debut since he would be looking to challenge Renan Ferreira now.
His former UFC rival Jon Jones is currently suffering a tendon tear in his shoulder and is in recovery right now. At the same time, Tyson attended the event for the ceremonial duties.
