Video: PFL champ Antonio Carlos Junior snatches 29-second submission win to kick off 2022 season

Antonio Carlos Junior is off to a perfect start for his 2022 PFL campaign.

The 2021 PFL light heavyweight champion scored a quick, first-round submission win, tapping out his opponent Delan Monte with a D’arce choke in just 29 seconds. The 205-pound contest was part of the 2022 PFL 1 event that took place on Wednesday night in Arlington, Texas.

Junior (14-5) earned six points – the maximum score – for his first-round stoppage win.

Below you can watch Junior’s first win of 2022:

“Shoeface” is currently unbeaten in his past five bouts, which include four wins and one no contest. He’s yet to lose a bout since departing from the UFC in early 2021. Junior won the light heavyweight season in 2021, capturing the title and the $1 million prize.
