Impa Kasanganay’s incredible victory in PFL 10 is definitely evidence of his perseverance and fortitude. The 29-year-old Florida native persevered through many challenges and setbacks over his career, and he was just awarded $1 million in recognition of his achievements.
After being dropped by the UFC, where he battled in the welterweight and middleweight categories, Impa Kasanganay surely turned his career around. ‘Tshilobo’ achieved fame during his UFC tenure with his stunning knockout loss against Joaquin Buckley at UFC Fight Island 5 in October 2020.
After accruing a 2-2 record throughout his four fights with the top MMA promotion in the world, Kasanganay was let go in December 2021. The 29-year-old entered the Challenger Series 15 earlier this year after competing once in XMMA and once in Eagle FC following his departure. After his previously mentioned first-round knockout win, Kasanganay signed a PFL contract and is now $1 million wealthier.
Following his triumph against Josh Silveira, Kasanganay made disparaging remarks about Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
