Yabna N'Tchalá VS Mouhamed Ba

In a competitive welterweight showcase bout, Senegal's Mouhamed Ba utilized superior striking volume and cage control to outwork Guinea-Bissau's Yabna N'Tchalá across three closely contested rounds. N'Tchalá attempted to impose his physicality, but Ba effectively managed the distance and landed the cleaner, more impactful shots during their exchanges. Although N'Tchalá had moments of success, Ba's consistency and cardio kept him a step ahead down the stretch. The judges rewarded Ba's output and ring generalship with a unanimous decision victory, scoring the contest 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28.

Former PFL Africa welterweight champion Yabna N'Tchalá returns to the cage in a non-tournament welterweight bout after suffering a shocking upset defeat to Peace Nguphane at Pretoria. N'Tchalá built his reputation as the division's premier fighter before that loss, and this fight against Mouhamed Ba represents both a chance to remind the field of his quality and a necessary step toward reclaiming tournament relevance in the 2027 PFL Africa season.
