The results are in from the PFL 3 event featuring Kasanganay vs. Edwards, which took place at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando on Friday night.
In the main event, former PFL light heavyweight champion Impa Kasanganay competed at his original weight class of 185 pounds, seeking further success. He faced Fabian Edwards, a fighter with two Bellator title challenges on his record, making his debut appearance in a PFL tournament.
The lightweight portion of the card included a highly anticipated bout between former UFC competitor Marc Diakiese and the reigning 2024 PFL lightweight champion, Gadzhi Rabadanov.
