Here are the complete results from PFL 3: Kasanganay vs. Edwards, which took place Friday night at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando.
In the main event of the evening, former PFL Light Heavyweight Champion Impa Kasanganay returned to the middleweight division (185 pounds) hoping to secure more success. He faced Fabian Edwards, a competitor with two Bellator title challenges under his belt, now aiming to make his mark in his first PFL tournament appearance.
The lightweight co-main event featured a clash between former UFC fighter Marc Diakiese and the reigning PFL Lightweight Champion from the previous season, Gadzhi Rabadanov. Rabadanov had a dominant run last year, concluding with a spectacular knockout victory in the finals over Brent Primus. Entering the tournament with a 10-fight winning streak, Rabadanov looked to maintain his momentum against Diakiese to kick off the 2024 lightweight tournament.
It was announced shortly before the event began that the scheduled fight between Robert Watley and Tony Caruso had been cancelled.
