What happened: Costello Van Steenis is out of PFL Austin with an injury, canceling his scheduled rematch with Johnny Eblen. Eblen will instead face Impa Kasanganay for the interim PFL middleweight title July 18.
Why it matters: The injury delays Van Steenis' title defense and creates an interim champion in the division. Eblen-Kasanganay also becomes a rematch, with undisputed status potentially awaiting the winner when Van Steenis returns.
By the numbers: Eblen is 17-1 and Kasanganay is 20-6, giving the new matchup a combined 37-7 record. Eblen won their previous meeting by split decision.
What to watch: Watch for details on Van Steenis' injury and recovery timeline. PFL must also confirm the remaining Austin card and future title-unification plans.
