"In the PFL Lyon main event, heavyweights Renan Ferreira and Vadim Nemkov will collide, looking to claim the PFL heavyweight title that currently sits vacant ( Francis Ngannou, who defeated Ferreira last year, won the promotion's Super-Fights title, separate from the league's regular champions). In the night's co-main event, meanwhile, legendary women's featherweight star Cris Cyborg returns to collect yet another title, taking on undefeated Australian Sara Collins."
"Like Ngannou, Cyborg previously captured one of the PFL's super-fights titles when she defeated Larissa Pacheco at PFL's Battle of the Giants card last October. The Brazilian star was won gold in Strikeforce, Bellator MMA, the UFC, and Invicta FC, and with a record of 28-2, 1NC, will have a massive experience advantage over Collins, who sits at 6-0."
PFL will return to Lyon, France, on December 13, 2025, with a card at the LDLC Arena. The main event matches Renan Ferreira against Vadim Nemkov for the vacant PFL heavyweight title; Francis Ngannou currently holds a separate Super-Fights title after defeating Ferreira. The co-main pairs veteran Cris Cyborg with undefeated Australian Sara Collins, with Cyborg holding multiple major promotions' championships and a 28-2, 1NC record. Nemkov moved up to heavyweight in 2024 and has two submission wins; Ferreira entered his Ngannou loss on a four-fight win streak. No additional bouts have been announced.
