Impa Kasanganay is now one win away from winning $1 million, he has to defeat Josh Silveira in the season finale.

The most important and career-shifting fight for Kasanganay will go down at the 2023 PFL Championships on November 24, 2023, at The Anthem in Washington.

Kasanganay has now bagged an impressive five consecutive wins, with three of those being in the PFL’s 2023 light heavyweight season and a win away from $1,000,000.

As he is a win away and a chance to win $1,000,000 he is grateful for the hiccups that eventually resulted in his release from the UFC.

He shared with the media about his career trajectory and with it feels to have a golden chance, Kasanganay said

“I remember being at the Budlight room in Atlanta and I looked at my coach and said, Thank God UFC cut me. I was just so happy. Man, what a situation. It was challenging to get into fights there, all my friends were doing well there, great. All the people in the people who I knew in the organization, I love people there too, so nothing against them. I’m just happy for me because who knows when I would’ve gotten that $1 million fight or more or less or close to it.”

Previously, Kasanganay went viral on social media after his second-round knockout loss to Joaquin Buckley during his second fight in the UFC.

The knock-out became one of the most replayed highlights of 2020 and also the wildest and most brutal knockouts in UFC history.
