Coach Eric Nicksick questions PFL’s promo of Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira
In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, coach Eric Nicksick questioned the PFL’s marketing strategy for Ngannou vs. Ferreira.
“Not only is it crazy…I always write down goals and all this stuff, and titles, just for me to see on my board every day and when I’m doing my work,” Nicksick said of Ngannou vs. Ferreira. “I literally forgot we were fighting for a title.

“We know it’s a title fight, in the back of my mind, but I had to reassure ‘We’re fighting for a title here!’…I want to hear that more rather than these two giants fighting. This is for the PFL title, this is huge. I just wish it was promoted a little bit better, too.”
