The 32-year-old Brazilian continues to be a wrecking ball through PFL’s 2021 heavyweight season. After scoring a 46-second knockout of Ante Delija last month, Cappelozza repeated the favor in thunderous fashion on Friday with a first-round destruction of Muhammed DeReese at PFL 6.
Cappelozza dominated the bout from the opening bell, including a highlight-reel slam in the first few exchanges.
