Bruno Cappelozza won the whole shebang in 2021 and now he’s one step closer to repeating.
In the 2022 PFL 2 main event, Cappelozza (15-5) ground-and-pounded his way to a first-round TKO victory over Stuart Austin (15-8) at the 4:24 mark. The event took place Thursday at Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
There was some brief clinching early in Round 1 before they separated. In response to pressure by Cappelozza, Austin shot for a takedown at around two minutes into the round. Cappelozza reversed and separated. A big overhand right stunned Austin, who tried to grab a leg. Cappelozza ended up on top, worked his way to mount, and finished the fight with punches.
