The PFL 4 mixed martial arts event for the 2022 season of the Professional Fighters League was held on June 17, 2022 at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This marked the fourth regular season event of the tournament and included fights in the Lightweight and Light Heavyweight divisions.

Background

The event was headlined by a lightweight clash between Clay Collard and Alexander Martinez, while defending light heavyweight champion Antônio Carlos Júnior faces off against Bruce Souto in the co-main event. The remaining two fights off the main card include 2021 champion Raush Manfio taking on former UFC veteran Olivier Aubin-Mercier, while long-time UFC veteran Jeremy Stephens takes on Myles Price.[1] [2] [3]

Standings After Event

The PFL points system is based on results of the match. The winner of a fight receives 3 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. The bonus for winning in the third round requires a fight be stopped before 4:59 of the third round. No bonus point will be awarded if a fighter wins via decision. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. A decision win will result in three total points. If a fighter misses weight, the opponent (should they comply with weight limits) will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory, regardless of winning or losing the bout; if the non-offending fighter subsequently wins with a stoppage, all bonus points will be awarded.[4]
