Leon Edwards is currently facing a struggling period after suffering a submission defeat to Sean Brady at UFC London in March 2025. This was his second defeat in a row, with the first one taking place at UFC 304 last year when he dropped the UFC welterweight title to Belal Muhammad.
During this challenging time, there is one thing that can bring a smile back to his face – his younger brother, Fabian Edwards’ victory. When Fabian turned that dream into reality, the entire world witnessed Leon’s overwhelming, emotional, and touching reaction at PFL 3.
Fabian Edwards Secures Stunning KO Win at PFL 3
Fabian Edwards put on an incredible performance with a knockout victory over former light heavyweight champion Impa Kasanganay at PFL 3 in Orlando, Florida. From the start, Fabian showed off his sharp striking skills, landing inside elbows that cut Kasanganay’s face. The doctor checked on Kasanganay, but the fight went on, and Fabian kept up the pressure.
Kasanganay managed to land a clean punch after a clash of heads, but Fabian quickly regained control, carefully picking his shots. In the second round, a perfect jab wobbled Kasanganay, and Fabian seized the opportunity. He unleashed a flurry of punches, dropping Kasanganay, and the referee stepped in at 2:14 of Round 2.
