Champion of the heavyweight tournament (up to 120,2kg.) in the PFL, Bruno Cappelozza justified the below-expected performance against Matheus Buffa, in an event held this Friday (24), in Atlanta (USA). Outperformed by his compatriot in the judges' unanimous decision, the fighter admitted to having 'fought on automatic' after receiving hard blows in the first round. The statement was made on social media.
“Just stopping by to thank everyone for the positive messages. (…) Talking about today's fight, I know it wasn't my best performance. I took a hand in the first round and, in the final two rounds, I fought on automatic”, wrote the fighter.

In the message, Bruno took the opportunity to address a section to his father, who passed away in 2021.
Father, I know that you are in heaven proud of me. I'm lucky to have had you to teach me that falling is part of our journey. I love you forever,” she published.
At PFL 5 2022, Cappelozza ended up having his first setback with the company's gloves. Before being surpassed by Buffa, the São Paulo native accumulated five consecutive victories, which earned the athlete the heavyweight belt and the dream prize of US$1 million.
Although he lost in the challenge against his compatriot, Bruno has something to celebrate. With six points added in the regular season, the fighter qualified for the semifinals and could still reach his second title.
