Ah, the life of a champion, between the stands and the infirmary—kind of like Batman between Gotham and Arkham, right? Costello, the king of the PFL, leaves us wanting more with this injury, but hey, even heroes need a day off.
Eblen vs. Kasanganay is going to be a fireworks show, even if it’s a bit like a Jurassic Park episode without the dinosaurs: we know it’s going to be intense, but we’re left wondering who’ll survive. Eblen has the hero profile, but Kasanganay? He looks like the villain who’s already taken down legends—and that’s no joke.
In the meantime, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for Van Steenis to come back stronger than ever, otherwise the PFL might end up like OSS 117: full of twists, but not always with a happy ending.
