Renan Ferreira upset over PFL’s ‘very shady’ decision not to book Fabricio Werdum rematch

Renan Ferreira had a knockout win over Fabricio Werdum taken away from him by the New Jersey commission, and he is not happy that PFL did not book a rematch.

Ferreira instead will face 2019 PFL champion Ali Isaev in his regular season finale. Werdum was matched up with Brandon Sayles before officials announced he pulled out of the fight. Isaev was initially supposed to face Hatef Moeil last month before both fighters withdrew, and the plan was to reschedule that contest, but they were booked for separate fights.

In a press release from Renan and his camp (obviously done prior to the Werdum withdrawal news), there was no holding back on their displeasure as to how this has all unfolded.
