PFL Pittsburgh Predictions
Dalton Rosta -185 vs Impa Kasanganay +154
Money is coming in on Rosta and I agree with it. Kasanganay hasn’t looked good in his last three fights — his speed is declining, durability is fading, and his strength doesn’t look the same.
Rosta is younger, stronger, and likely faster. Kasanganay has the experience edge, but he’s not reliable at this stage. Rosta is the pick.
Ariane Da Silva -175 vs Sumiko Inaba +145
Da Silva makes her PFL debut here. She lost three straight in the UFC, but those came against strong competition.
She has decent striking, solid volume, and some respectable wins, though her ground game isn’t great. Inaba isn’t particularly dangerous — she can match Silva on the feet, but Silva should land the more meaningful shots.
Inaba could try to wrestle, but it’s unlikely she sustains that for three rounds. Slight lean to Da Silva, but not a betting spot.
Alexei Pergande -130 vs Julio Arce +110
Arce is 36 and looks well past his prime. After being cut from the UFC, he fought lower-level competition before landing in PFL.
Pergande is only 24, much quicker, and should have a clear speed advantage in the striking exchanges. That speed difference should be the key factor here. Pergande is the pick.
Lazaro Dayron -1900 v Jacob Thrall +1000
This should end quickly. Dayron is a major prospect and PFL is clearly setting him up with a favorable matchup.
Thrall is a journeyman with limited skills and not at this level. If props are available, Dayron by first-round finish is the best look.
PFL Pittsburgh Main Event: Johnny Eblen -420 vs Bryan Battle +310
Eblen should have the wrestling advantage, but he’s coming off the first loss of his career where he was submitted late and lost his belt.
This is a tricky spot mentally, going from champion to a non-title fight. Battle was released from the UFC after missing weight and dealing with personal issues, but appears to be in a better place now and has won two dirty boxing fights before joining PFL.
If Eblen can’t consistently land takedowns, Battle should have the advantage on the feet. The price on Eblen feels too high — dog or pass.
