Season 2026Round 3
Johnny Eblen silenced the skeptics in Pittsburgh with an "authoritative" performance, securing a first-round submission victory over Bryan Battle. Eblen wasted no time, immediately pressuring Battle against the cage and executing a powerful double-leg takedown.
After a brief scramble, Eblen transitioned smoothly to Battle’s back and locked in a deep rear-naked choke. Despite Battle's efforts to fight the hands, he was forced to tap at 4:10 of the opening round, marking Eblen's successful return to the win column.
The co-main event provided "explosive" fireworks as Impa Kasanganay spoiled the homecoming of Pittsburgh's own Dalton Rosta. In a battle of heavy hitters, Kasanganay landed a devastating right hook that sent Rosta to the canvas, followed by precise ground-and-pound to end the fight at 3:18 of Round 1.
Other main card action saw Ariane da Silva (formerly Lipski) secure a unanimous decision over Sumiko Inaba, while undefeated prospect Alexei Pergande won a bloody three-round war against veteran Julio Arce.
