In the final preliminary bout of 2023 PFL 4 at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Braga (11-0) made quick work of Moraes (23-13-1) by landing a crushing right hand. The punch came moments after a sharp combination wobbled Moraes, and the featherweight fight was over officially at 3:02 of the first round.
