The grass has never looked greener to Antonio Carlos Jr.
The 31-year-old Brazilian will enter his 2022 campaign with plenty of promise and a renewed sense of purpose as the defending Professional Fighters League light heavyweight champion. Carlos joined the PFL after a hot-and-cold run in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and rode his considerable talents all the way to a $1 million payday. He cashed in at the 2021 PFL Championships on Oct. 27, when he submitted Marthin Hamlet with a rear-naked choke in the first round of their tournament final at 205 pounds.
