HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – Longtime MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro would like to see one of his pupils get the first crack at Francis Ngannou under the PFL banner.
Cordeiro, the founder of Kings MMA, lead Fabricio Werdum to the UFC heavyweight title, and believes “Vai Cavalo” would be the right man to take on PFL newcomer Ngannou in his first bout with the promotion. Werdum joined the PFL in 2021 and has made one appearance thus far.
“Why not?” Cordeiro told MMA Junkie Radio. “Fabricio, he was a former UFC champ. His background, everybody knows his history, so why not? PFL needs fights like that.”
