Impa Kasanganay won’t dwell on his initial meeting with Joshua Silveira going into their upcoming clash next weekend.
in a light heavyweight semifinal matchup on Aug. 16 at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. The two previously met at last season’s final in November 2023, when Kasanganay earned a unanimous decision victory to win $1 million and rise to stardom as the promotion’s light heavyweight champion.
However, Kasanganay is considering their upcoming clash a “new hunt” rather than a rematch. Acknowledging his opponent’s skillset, “Tshilobo” says he expects Silveira to have put the previous loss behind him. “I expect Josh to be the best version of himself. Josh is a solid fighter; he’s smart and coached well. To me, it’s not a rematch. It’s a whole new hunt. Last year is behind us. I always say burn the ships, so, what title?” Kasanganay told Sherdog.com.
“For me, I could care less if it was Dovlet, Josh, or some guy down the street, I take them out. I don’t care what their motivation is, I don’t care what their discipline is. Aug. 16 I finish with my hand raised, the job’s not finished. It’s a war path.”in a non-season bout this past April. He has since scored back-to-back stoppage wins in the regular season to advance to the PFL semifinals.
“I’m grateful,” he said.”It’s a grind that you love so it’s not like it’s overbearing. These are the things that you pray for. The overall body of work, I look at it as I can always be better. I’m challenged by this overall body of work because I know I can still do so much better.”Serghei Spivac Armbars Marcin Tybura in UFC on ESPN 61 HeadlinerSerghei Spivac Armbars Marcin Tybura in UFC on ESPN 61 HeadlinerCaio Borralho Expects Title Shot with Finish of Jared CannonierNgannou vs.
