“I still felt like I could compete. Why not try a fresh start and fight for a good promotion like the PFL? With new goals, this is how I feel now. I started my career again with the PFL, it wasn't my way. But, I felt great. I felt really good energy and strong, faster, I just got caught (by a knockout). I have another fight coming up and I have to fix my mistakes and come back stronger and ready. I have a difficult opponent, a good opponent, he had a great campaign last season and I'm ready to face him”, said Marlon.
Without winning since 2019, Marlon is going through a sad moment in his career and has come from five consecutive defeats, all of them by knockout. In the first PFL event of 2023, scheduled for April 01st, the Brazilian will face the Englishman Brendan Loughnane, champion of the 2022 season in the featherweight division (up to 65,7kg). The card will be held at The Theater at Virgin Hotels, in Las Vegas (USA).
