Edwards Stops Kasanganay in PFL Tournament Bout
Edwards Secures Dominant TKO Victory Over Kasanganay
On April 18, 2025, Fabian Edwards (14-4) delivered a statement-making performance in the PFL World Tournament 3 main event, stopping Impa Kasanganay (18-6) with a brutal second-round TKO at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
The fight began with both men engaging in a tense clinch battle, but Edwards quickly found his rhythm, landing sharp elbows that opened a deep cut above Kasanganay’s right eye. The cageside physician examined the wound between rounds but allowed the fight to continue.
Kasanganay came out aggressively in the second round, wobbling Edwards with a powerful right hand. However, Edwards responded with precision striking, landing a straight left that sent Kasanganay stumbling backward. Edwards capitalized on the moment, charging forward with a switch knee that partially connected, forcing Kasanganay to the mat near the fence.
With Kasanganay unable to defend himself, Edwards unleashed a relentless barrage of punches against the cage, prompting the referee to step in and stop the fight at 2:14 of Round 2.
Edwards credited his brother, former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards, for his corner advice, stating that his guidance played a crucial role in his victory. Edwards now moves one step closer to securing the PFL middleweight championship, while Kasanganay suffers his second consecutive loss following his 2024 PFL light heavyweight title defeat to Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov.
