The road to the PFL Championship takes a pitstop in Florida as the PFL Playoffs continue. Light heavyweights and lightweights are in action, with Impa Kasanganay vs. Josh Silveira as the main event.
The fight is a rematch from last year’s finals when Kasanganay beat Silveira to become the 2023 PFL Light Heavyweight Tournament winner. Both are Challenger Series alums. Since the loss, Silveira has gone 1-1 in the 2024 tournament. Kasanganay won two straight via TKO during the 2024 season.
Who will secure their spot in the finals? Can Silveira avenge a loss against Kasanganay, a man on a mission to repeat?
