00:00Let's break down what we saw this past weekend over in the PFL superfights battle of the Giants pay-per-view

00:07This was a fight card

00:08We were looking forward to a lot of people looking look forward to for a while at least

00:12Especially the top couple fights there with the return of Francis Nagano his first fight ever in the PFL and he did not

00:19Disappoint the predator going against problema Ferrara the current champion of the PFL and he wins that title

00:27He dominates him. He is the PFL super champ there at heavyweight

00:31You know it was surprising of course the guy who hadn't fought in three years in MMA

00:35Had his foray into boxing that we saw those two fights against Tyson Fury and Joshua neither going his way

00:41And he comes in there against the champion Ferrara who had won four in a row 13 and four

00:46You know gonna be bigger longer

00:47And he just dominates him makes quick work of him with a first-round ko victory

00:53330 into the fight as you see there the Ghana using that grappling we talked about that that maybe with the long layoff

00:59He'll use that grappling that we saw for the first time in the serial gone fight try to work his way back in I thought

01:04That might have made it so that he worked his way back in into the second and third round if I'll comfortable

01:08But no he felt comfortable right away

01:10Ferrara, you know for his part seemed a little cautious

01:12Maybe a little worried about those big shots in the Ghana

01:15We know how dangerous the predator can be without one punch knockout power

01:19Didn't seem to be coming in there as aggressive as he has against some of his other opponents and that

01:23Caused him because right away you got it comes in there

01:26I throw some shots eventually gets the takedown and then just gets to a position where he starts to unload on

01:32Problema the problem I had problems from the predator

01:35He just you know starts to level on him throw those big shots

01:39Maybe even got a couple extra that didn't need to happen some people a little bit critical of the refereeing there

01:44That maybe should have been ended earlier when you got a guy like the guy who on your back

01:48It's it's pretty much fight over and we saw that as he gets the ground-and-pound victory against Ferreira very emotional after the fight

01:55we saw him talking about his son who he unfortunately lost earlier this year and

02:00you know, it was a very emotional for him to get back in there and win this fight for Kobe and

02:05makes his return to the world of MMA and showed how much of a badass he is and

02:09It was impressive to everyone even to his old nemesis

02:13that he never actually got to fight in the UFC and John Bones Jones who you know put out there on social media that he

02:19Watched the fight and you know, he saw the great performance by him and you know giving his props to the predator

02:26No, that's the fight that we all wanted to see in the UFC. Unfortunately never got to but John's Bones Jones is of course

02:33Taking notice of what Francis Nagano did in his return to MMA as we all were great fight for him

02:40Of course, we thought Nagano would win that fight

02:42We thought it might have taken a little longer

02:44So try to get the extra value and go in the over one and a half or winning in two or three

02:48Unfortunately did not pan off for us but a nice win there for Nagano who was the heavy favorite
