The title fight ended in round three
Eblen and Kasanganay headlined the PFL card at Moody Center. Eblen used a sequence of strikes to end the contest, while Kasanganay could not recover before the referee intervened. The official result lists a knockout rather than a technical decision or submission.
The interim belt gives PFL a clear result at middleweight while its division title picture continues. The report identifies Eblen as the winner and records the exact round and time, avoiding the mistaken association with another fighter or event.
