PFL 2022 regular season, Week 4: Collard vs. Martinez results and discussion

The 2022 season of the Professional Fighters League has resumed!

Week 4 of the regular season happens tonight (Jun 17) in Atlanta, GA and features a main event between the always entertaining Clay Collard and Jonathan Martinez. In the co-main event, reigning light heavyweight champion Antonio Carlos Junior takes on Bruce Souto.

Win – 3 pts

First round stoppage – 3 bonus pts

Second round stoppage – 2 bonus pts

Third round stoppage – 1 bonus pt

Draw – 1 pt for each fighter

Loss – 0 points

Week 4 is all about the lightweights and light heavyweights, and Bloody Elbow is the place to be to discuss the event.
