Johnny “Pressure” Eblen became the PFL Interim Middleweight World Champion in the main event at  PFL Austin  after closing the rivalry with Impa “Tshilobo” Kasanganay as he landed big punches to score a thrilling third round knockout. With the current World Champion, Costello van Steenis, who sat cage side, Eblen made it known that he plans to unify the division and right his wrongs from their first outing when “The Spaniard” snatched the title from the jaws of defeat back in July 2025.
