And two months ago, Paul was tasked with getting in between the two humongous men to square them off.
It marks Ngannou’s first fight back in MMA in over two years following a stint in the boxing ring.
And Paul believes the former UFC champion and now Professional Fighters League star return to the cage with a vengeance.
He said after facing the two off: “Battle of the Giants is very, very real. These men are actual giants.
“And if they were to have started fighting, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. But, I was there, I was doing my best.
“I had some form, but they’re very strong… I just think Francis just has so much to prove here that he’s going to rise to the occasion.
Ngannou, 38, put his MMA career on hold to cross over to the boxing ring to first face Tyson Fury, 36.
And he sensationally dropped the former world heavyweight champ before losing a controversial split-decision.
Ngannou then faced Anthony Joshua, 34, in March but was brutally knocked out in two rounds.
A month later, he endured personal heartbreak when his 15-month-old son Kobe tragically died.
His fight with Ferreira, 34, not only marks his first with the PFL but also since he lost his baby boy and decided against retirement.
Ngannou said: “I didn’t want to do anything but I just realised it was just my pain speaking. My rationality would not allow things like that.
“And also for the reason why I was deciding to retire wasn’t the best reason.
“I think I should use it as motivation and make something beautiful out of it.”
