I've proven myself in and out of the boxing ring and now I am going to do the same in MMA, and there is no limit to the positive impact I can make on the sport. I plan to enter the PFL SmartCage and once again show the world that that anything is possible with hard work and dedication,
My vision was to create an innovative and premium MMA company as the valuable alternative for those that want or need it. We started with nothing except universal skepticism. Against all odds, we succeeded. Now PFL is the clear No. 2 MMA company worldwide and the only other premium product.
The PFL has announced its first main event of 2026, and it's a promising one. Lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov (20-0, 1NC) will once again be fighting in Dubai, when he takes on 2025 PFL World Tournament winner Alfie Davis (20-5-1). The title fight takes place at the Coca-Cola Arena on February 7, 2026.
Outside of the cage, Kasanganay, who earned a million dollars for his 2023 PFL championship win, is moving into the world of finance. He's taken a role with world renowned accounting firm Ernst & Young. "It's one of the big four accounting firms. November 12 is my start date, so I've just got to finish some things, and God willing everything finishes through, but I'll be in consulting and doing finance," Kasanganay revealed. "So I'll be doing that while fighting; I'll be active for sure."
In the PFL Hollywood main event from the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida two former Bellator contenders collided in the PFL Middleweight World Tournament finals. Fabian Edwards is an athletic striker, who previously challenged for championship gold against Johnny Eblen.

Gadzhi Rabadanov won the 2024 PFL Global lightweight season and is looking to double up as a PFL World Tournament champion when he takes on Alfie Davis in an all-Bellator main event. With a 12-fight win streak and four straight finishes, Rabadanov is looking deadlier than ever.
"I want every single body. I don't give a damn who's tough. I'm tough. I'm tough," exclaimed Jean (11-0) following his win over Storley, which saw him capture the tournament championship and half a million dollars.
