MMA Fighting reports the PFL 3: Kasanganay versus Edwards results live from Universal Studios Florida in Orlando on Friday night.
The main event featured former PFL light heavyweight champion Impa Kasanganay, returning to the 185-pound division. He aimed to add to his achievements against Fabian Edwards. Edwards, a two-time Bellator title challenger, was seeking to make a strong debut in the PFL tournament.
In the lightweight division, former UFC fighter Marc Diakiese faced the 2024 PFL lightweight champion, Gadzhi Rabadanov, in a highly anticipated match. Rabadanov, on a 10-fight winning streak, had previously dominated the lightweight division, culminating in a knockout victory over Brent Primus in the PFL season finals.
Rabadanov`s momentum continued as he clashed with Diakiese, kicking off the PFL lightweight tournament.
