UFC releases Impa Kasanganay

UFC has slightly trimmed its massive roster by cutting one-time Contender Series prospect (and unfortunate viral video star) Impa Kasanganay (per MMA Junkie).

The 27-year-old Kasanganay came to the UFC in 2019 and announced himself with two wins on the Contender Series, beating Kailan Hill and Anthony Adams (both by unanimous decision).

His debut for the UFC proper came in August 2020 when he took a unanimous decision over Maki Pitolo. A few months later Kasanganay got booked on a Fight Island card opposite Joaquin Buckley. In that bout Kasanganay fell victim to the most viral moment of the year, being knocked out cold by a spinning back kick.
