THIS FIGHT IS DIFFERENT - Impa Kasanganay Interview

from WEIGHING IN · host John McCarthy & Josh Thomson's MMA Show

Interim PFL Middleweight gold is on the line, and Impa Kasanganay joins Josh Thomson for an in-depth conversation ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with Johnny Eblen. After a controversial first meeting, Impa discusses what went wrong, why this fight will be different, and how moving back to 185 pounds has changed everything. From breaking down his previous loss to explaining why he believes he's the better fighter today, Impa gives an honest look into his preparation for one of the biggest fights of his career. Josh and Impa also discuss the impact of the PFL and Bellator merger, the tournament format versus the traditional championship model, the challenges of fighting outdoors, three-round versus five-round fight camps, and why this rematch could play out very differently than their first encounter. If you're a fan of high-level MMA strategy and want to hear directly from one of the top middleweights in the world before fight night, this is an interview you don't want to miss. 💧 Stay Hydrated with LMNT This offer may be claimed for LMNT customers, ONLY THROUGH OUR LINK! http://drinklmnt.com/WeighingIn https://www.amazon.com/shop/therealpunk?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_PXSPXPTQ4J26QW4FP4T5 🔥 Join the Weighing In Membership Become a member for exclusive perks! 💥 $1.99/month – Priority fan questions during live shows. 💥 $4.99/month – Early access to videos + the opportunity to debate Josh on the show! 📲 Follow Weighing In Instagram & X: @weighingin @therealpunk
