Here are the detailed results from the recent PFL 3 event, which featured significant bouts in the middleweight and lightweight divisions.
In the main event, former PFL light heavyweight champion Impa Kasanganay made his return to the 185-pound middleweight class with aspirations for more championship success. He faced Fabian Edwards, a fighter known for his two prior challenges for the Bellator title, making his debut in the PFL tournament structure.
A highly anticipated clash in the lightweight division pitted former UFC competitor Marc Diakiese against the reigning 2024 PFL lightweight champion, Gadzhi Rabadanov. Rabadanov previously had a dominant run, culminating in a stunning knockout victory in the finals last year. Riding a lengthy win streak, Rabadanov aimed to maintain his impressive form against Diakiese as the PFL lightweight tournament commenced.
Please note that the scheduled bout between Robert Watley and Tony Caruso was cancelled shortly before the event took place.
