Johnny Eblen Opens Up on First Loss in MMA

Former PFL Middleweight Champion Johnny Eblen joins Weighing In for one of his most candid interviews yet. On this episode, Josh Thomson sits down with Johnny to discuss his first professional loss, how he's handled life after losing the PFL middleweight title, and what he's changed as he prepares for his return on July 18. The conversation also dives deep into the current state of the Professional Fighters League, including the middleweight division, Donn Davis' tenure, the organization's new leadership, matchmaking, and what Johnny believes needs to improve to elevate the promotion. Johnny also shares stories about the challenges of fighting overseas, why he believes outdoor MMA events rarely deliver the best product, and gives a detailed technical breakdown of his fight with Impa Kasanganay along with the adjustments he's making for the rematch.
