Fabian Edwards Advances to PFL Middleweight Finals After Semifinal Win

Fabian Edwards secured his spot in the 2025 PFL middleweight finals with a narrow decision victory over Josh Silveira in a competitive semifinal bout at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Edwards, known for his technical striking and takedown defense, controlled much of the fight despite Silveira's attempts to bring the fight to the ground and his effective leg kicks early on. Throughout the match, Edwards demonstrated resilience and skill, nearly finishing Silveira with submission attempts and gradually wearing him down, culminating in dominant control in the third round. Edwards will face Dalton Rosta in the finals after Rosta won his semifinal by split decision. This victory is significant for Edwards, who previously challenged unsuccessfully for the Bellator middleweight title but has remained a top contender, recently defeating 2023 PFL light heavyweight champion Impa Kasanganay. Betting odds favored Edwards heavily, with experts predicting a potential knockout based on his striking advantage and recent form.
