Ferreira defeated
Ryan Bader via TKO (Punches) at 0:21 seconds of Round 1 at the PFL vs. Bellator Champs Event in Saudi Arabia in February.
ANALYSIS
The official stoppage includes punches landed after Bader was on the ground, but those were wholly unnecessary, as Ferreira threw a right hand over a lazy jab that made "Darth" fall like a house of cards. The Brazilian's victory was the lone bright spot for the PFL on the main card, as Bellator fighters swept each of the four proceeding bouts, but "Problema" may be ready to plant his flag in the heavyweight division, as he has won each of his last four fights by KO/TKO. Ferreira moved to 13-3 in professional MMA as a result of the victory
