PFL finalist Impa Kasanganay not a fan of Josh Silveira’s approach: ‘An insult to his dad and his team’

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Often times fights settle the differences between fighters, but that wasn’t the case in Impa Kasanganay ’s most recent outing. The 2023 PFL light heavyweight champion defeated Josh Silveira this past Friday in the main event of 2024 PFL Playoffs 2. This was a rematch between the two, as they had fought in November ins the 2023 PFL final for the 205-pound belt and the $1 million prize. Kasanganay (18-4) and Silveira (13-4) had a few heated moments in the buildup to the fight, and now that Kasanganay has the win in hand, he had a few tings to say to the American Top Team fighter. “Like I said before the fight, ‘How does a fish get caught?’ A fish gets caught, gets killed on that hook,” Kasanganay told MMA Junkie and other media at the 2024 PFL Playoffs 2 post-fight interview

BAD MMA News — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 01:41:46 +0000

The 2024 PFL 2 main card opener ended in unusual fashion after a fighter’s hand was mutilated on a takedown. As Sadibou Sy planted his hand down on takedown from opponent Josh Silveira , gravity took its toll on his thumb, which bent awkwardly under the weight of his body. Sy (16-8-2) waved to referee Marc Goddard, as a confused Silveira (13-2) laid on top of him. The signal marked the end of the fight at 1:14 of Round 1. Sadibou Sy suffers an early injury on a takedown… Silveira gets the W and 6 points in the LHW Standings! #PFLRegularSeason LIVE NOW ESPNews https://t.co/jPNvomCxHI pic.twitter.com/EZuOUEKP0b — PFL (@PFLMMA) April 13, 2024 It’s unclear what the exact medical diagnosis of Sy’s thumb is, though the broadcast speculated a dislocation. Sy was clearly frustrated by the result, as he vented his frustration with his thumb protruding awkwardly the entire time.
