Headlining the card is a light heavyweight fight between Impa
Kasanganay and Joshua
Silveira. Both men have proved to be finishers, so it should
end the night with some excitement. The winner of Kasanganay (17-4)
and Silveira (13-3) will face whoever emerges victorious between
Rob
Wilkinson and Dovletdzhan
Yagshimuradov in the co-main event. All four men successfully
made weight, as did every competitor on the card except for pro
debutant Brian
Stapleton. Stapleton exceeded the lightweight limit by 4.5
pounds, receiving an undisclosed fine prior to his match with
Biaggio
Ali Walsh.
The lightweight semifinalists had no issue on the scales on
Thursday. Brent
Primus will face off against Clay
Collard in what will be a fan-friendly striking matchup.
Meanwhile, Gadzhi
Rabadanov, who is undefeated within the PFL, will look to go up
against Michael
Dufort, who is coming off a decision defeat to Adam
Piccolotti.
