1 week ago | cagesidepress.com | Eddie Law |Gabriel Gonzalez

PFL middleweight Impa Kasanganay believes the 185 division is one of the best in the game and will bring him the better challenges in this year’s PFL World Tournament. “I started my career at 185, fought Johnny (Eblen) at 185 the most recent fight.

It’s been a bit of a rocky road for Fabian Edwards as he heads into the PFL Word Tournament, with the featherweight standout in sort of an on-again, off-again situation for his fight with Impa Kasanganay.

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency suspended “The Maori Kid” three months after he tested positive for metenolone and its metabolites in April of 2024, at the start of that year’s PFL season. However, testing proved that he’d been the victim of a contaminated vape pen, after sharing a vape with a non-PFL athlete friend.

Julian Erosa Wants To Be More Technical, Top 15 Fight Next

1 week ago | cagesidepress.com | Eddie Law |Jay Anderson

UFC featherweight Julian Erosa is really trying to clean his game up and make it more technical while still being exciting following his victory over Darren Elkins at UFC 314 on Saturday night. “100%. A lot of the fights that I’ve won that have been super great fights have been fights that I’ve gotten dropped in.
