Fabian Edwards is moving on.
In the 2025 PFL World Tournament 3 main event, Edwards (14-4) finished 2023 light heavyweight champion Impa Kasanganay (18-6) with punches at 2:14 of Round 2. The bout took place in Orlando, Fla.
Edwards advances to the the middleweight tournament semifinal June 27 when he'll face Josh Silveira.
The fight was exciting for as long as it lasted. With an elbow, Edwards opened up a gnarly gash on Kasanganay's forehead that required a doctor's examination between Rounds 1 and 2. After Kasanganay received clearance, the fight continued.
Kasanganay wobbled Edwards early, but would ultimately be the one to get finished. Edwards found a home for his left hand and eventually dropped Kasanganay. A few punches later, the fight was over.
Edwards, 32, moves to 5-2 in his most recent seven. The only two losses in that stretch were to Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen.
Kasanaganay has lost back-to-back fights. The skid also includes a 2024 PFL light heavyweight championship loss to Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov.
Up-to-the-minute results of 2025 PFL 3 include:
