2022 PFL 4 video: Josh Silveira finishes Marthin Hamlet with kitchen sink in lengthy barrage

Josh Silveira has big shoes to fill, and he continues to impress time and time again.

At 2022 PFL 4, Silveira made his regular season debut for the promotion after an appearance earlier this year on PFL Challengers Series. There was no easy matchmaking off the bat, as Silveira (9-0) fought 2021 PFL light heavyweight runner-up Marthin Hamlet (9-4) at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta.

Silveira, son of American Top Team coach Conan, notched a first-round knockout and six points in the standings as he battered Hamlet with a ridiculous flurry. A head kick put Hamlet on rubber legs and he never was able to recover. Silveira followed up with a barrage of dozens of punches, kicks, and knees – until a blasting knee up the middle sent Hamlet to the canvas on all fours.

Eventually, referee Nate Mann jumped in and saved Hamlet, who no longer defended himself.

With the victory, Silveira keeps his perfect professional record in tact. In nine professional appearances, Silveira has eight finishes. Prior to his PFL signing, Silveira won both middleweight and light heavyweight titles in LFA.

The up-to-the-minute 2022 PFL 4 results include:

  • Josh Silveira def. Marthin Hamlet via TKO (strikes) – Round 1, 3:27
  • Nate Jennerman def. Jake Childers via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 2, 2:00 – showcase bout
