Impa Kasanganay: It's an Honor Competing in Front of the PFL Challenger Series Judging Panel
Impa Kasanganay is fired up for his upcoming clash at PFL Challenger Series Week 7.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran (10-3) is scheduled to take on Osama ElSeady in next month's light heavyweight headliner. For the first time in his career, “Tshilobo” will move up to the 205-pound division after competing at welterweight and middleweight. While talking with Sherdog, Kasanganay stated that moving up a division isn’t a big deal and in fact he’s happy he doesn’t have to cut much weight. The Dana White's Contender Series alum also claimed that he doesn’t feel any pressure competing in front of mixed martial arts royalty including Randy Couture and Tyron Woodley, who are part of the judging panel and have a say in who is going to land the coveted Professional Fighters League contract.
