2025 PFL Week 3 Odds Favor Impa Kasanganay

Impa Kasanganay’s MMA journey is nothing short of cinematic. Most fans will remember him for being on the receiving end of one of the most viral knockouts in UFC history.

What we’re talking about is that spinning back kick from Joaquin Buckley in 2020. The KO loss made Impa a sort of laughingstock in the MMA world, but he bounced back just a few months later with a win.

He didn’t stay in the UFC for much longer after that fight, landing in the PFL after a brief stint with Eagle FC and XMMA. It’s the PFL where he hit his stride in a big way – six straight wins, a Light Heavyweight title, and $1 million in his bank account.

He came close to adding more gold in the PFL vs. Bellator Champion of Champions event but dropped a razor-close split decision to Johnny Eblen. He bounced back with three wins, only to suffer another KO.

This happened in his most recent fight, in which he fought – once again – for the $1 million prize. This time it happened at the hands of Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov who finished him in just 58 seconds.

Now, Impa is chasing another comeback. His 2025 PFL Week 3 odds suggest he’s going to bounce back, but he needs to take this fight seriously as he’s facing a very tricky opponent.

Can Fabian Edwards Upset 2025 PFL Week 3 Odds?

Impa Kasanganay shouldn’t worry much about getting KO-ed in the main event of 2025 PFL 3. It’s because, unlike his last opponent, Fabian Edwards isn’t hunting for a quick KO. Instead, this guy is a technician who chooses his moments carefully and doesn’t take unnecessary risks.

That’s both a strength and a potential vulnerability against someone like Kasanganay, who thrives in chaos. But Edwards has already fought against high-volume strikers. For example, he fought – and defeated – Gegard Mousasi, Lyoto Machida, and many others.

He defeated those guys by fighting smart. Unlike Kasanganay who always aims for the head, Edwards lands kicks and punches all over his opponent’s body. For instance, 21.5% of his significant strikes are leg kicks, while Impa’s percentage is only 0.4%.

Impa Kasanganay vs. Fabian Edwards Prediction

Edwards has an almost 4-inch reach advantage over Kasanganay, so you can be sure he’ll try to keep him at a distance. Rather than going for a spectacular KO, he’ll probably try to hurt his opponent with leg kicks.

We can see this tactic working out for him on April 18, which is why our pick is Edwards by decision.
