The ending to PFL Pittsburgh on Saturday came quickly after three consecutive main card decisions to begin the night.<\/p>\n
Impa Kasanganay and Johnny Eblen capped off the ESPN2 event from the UPMC Events Center in Moon Township, Pennsylvania with first round finishes.<\/p>\n
After Kasanganay knocked out Dalton Rosta in just over three minutes, Eblen submitted Bryan Battle in just over four in the main event.<\/p>\n
For Eblen, the win got him back on track after a July 2025 loss to Constello van Steenis for the PFL middleweight title. The former champion is now 17-1 overall with eight finishes.<\/p>\n
Kasanganay, a former UFC fighter, moved to 20-6 when he finished off Rosta, with both victories being stoppage wins. He is now 10-3 all-time with PFL.<\/p>\n
Trio of decisions open ESPN2 main card<\/p>\n
Ariane da Silva, Alexei Pergande and Lazaro Dayron all scored decisions to start the main card.<\/p>\n
Da Silva bested Sumiko Inaba, Pergande downed Julio Arce and Dayron topped Jacob Thrall.<\/p>\n
On the prelims, former champion Natan Schulte lost a decision to Jakub Kaszuba. Dakota Bush, Josh Fremd and Frederik Dupras all scored finishes, including a first round technical submission for Dupras over Ethan Goss that opened the night.<\/p>\n
