Antonio Carlos Jr. and Bruce Soto clashed in PFL 4.
Bruce Soto and Antonio Carlos Jr. were active rivals in PFL 4 but most fans wouldn’t call it very exciting. The two Brazilians were very respectful of each other but the fight lacked many hits. The light two spent a lot of time against the cage feeling each other until Carlos Jr. took Soto to the ground in the third. Carlos Juinor took the win with a clean sweep of cards and secured his place in the PFL Light Heavyweight Qualifiers.
Antonio Carlos Jr looks like the favorite to win again
Antonio Carlos Jr looks like the favorite to win the playoffs. His wrestling is strong and he does a good job of limiting the damage he does. It will be a tough road, but since reaching the Pro League he is unbeaten 4-0-1 and won the Light Heavyweight Championship 2021.
