The
Professional Fighters League was forced into a significant
shakeup when
Phil Davis
withdrew from the original
PFL 2 main event opposite
Rob
Wilkinson this Friday inside The Theater at Virgin Hotels in
Las Vegas. Instead, fans will now witness
Impa
Kasanganay take on
Alex
Polizzi in the revamped headliner. Both fighters enter the cage
carrying the weight of losses in recent assignments and will pin
their hopes on reversing their fortunes to advance in the light
heavyweight standings.
Ahead of the Kasanganay-Polizzi showdown at 205 pounds, a look at
some of the statistical intricacies that bind them together:
3: Kasanganay holds three knockout victories on his record,
constituting 20% of his wins.
4: Kasanganay has rattled off four submission wins in his career,
which account for 27% of his victories.
8: The 30-year-old Kasanganay kicked off his professional mixed
martial arts career with a solid eight-fight winning streak, which
remains his best run to date.
8: Kasanganay has recorded eight wins by decisions, though he has
also dropped split decision losses to
Raimond
Magomedaliev and
Johnny
Eblen.
4: Polizzi has scored four knockout victories as a pro, which
accounts for 40% of his triumphs.
4: With four submission wins, Polizzi has scored 40% of the
victories in his career by banking on his grappling prowess.

a technical knockout loss against former
Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight title challenger
Yoel
Romero at
Bellator 280.
7: Much like Kasanganay, Polizzi was undefeated for an extended
period of time, collecting seven victories before losing a
unanimous decision to
Julius
Anglickas.
