Not sure about a 125 champion-level fighter, but never forget Roger Huerta at 155 beat the brakes off a top DI linebacker and former Atlanta Falcon Rashad Bobino in a street fight in 2010 after Bobino struck a woman.

It’s official.

Francis Ngannou has signed with the PFL.

Per The NY Times, the deal gives Ngannou “equity and leadership roles” in the PFL. He’s expected to fight in the promotion’s super-fight PPV division next year, while competing in boxing this year. The PFL deal is an MMA-only agreement. His boxing plans will be announced at a later time, sources say.

His PFL debut fight (opponent, date) wasn’t announced just yet.

Also, per the Times, Ngannou will become chairman of the newly-launched PFL Africa and will serve on the company’s advisory board “to represent fighter interests.”

Ngannou will be live on the The MMA Hour TODAY at 1 pm et / 10 am pt / 6 pm bst to discuss it all.
