In the Welterweight division of the PFL Men's tournament, two dangerous competitors, the Brazilian Carlos Leal and the American Dilano Taylor, square off against one another at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta. Following his victory over David Zawada in his most recent fight, Leal will undoubtedly feel confident about securing another victory, but Dilano Taylor will be looking to put a stop to a string of successive defeats he has had in recent times.

Even though he has only taken part in four fights since the beginning of 2017, having just one loss to his credit from 2017 gives him reason to be optimistic about how effectively he will demonstrate a drive for victory today. Carlos Leal had a satisfactory performance in his most recent fight, which took place in April against David Zawada of Germany. The fight was decided in the first round after a technical knockout. Despite this, Carlos Leal has gone on to win over Ray Cooper III, with both victories coming in round 3. His debut fight was in 2017 against Mihail Nica in the Lightweight division of the Bellator Men's Championship. On the other hand, Carlos Leal's career was cut short by a loss in 2022, which came at the hands of the Swedish fighter Sadibou Sy in a battle that was played and finished in Round 3. In the meantime, even if Carlos Leal is the favorite to win this competition, the Brazilian will go into it with the mindset that he is capable of being in the best shape of his life and delivering an outstanding display of strength and talent.
Dilano Taylor - expected to rise to his fears
Dilano Taylor will try to have a better outcome here, hoping to put a stop to his string of dismal performances and bring home the victory. Dilano Taylor only managed to win a total of two of the five fights he participated in between 2022 and the present. After beginning his career with a victory in May 2022 over Brazilian Joao Zeferino, a fight that he won in round 3, Dilano Taylor could only see himself suffer a loss in his following fight against Magomed Magomedkerimov via Technical knockout in round 2. On the other hand, Dilano Taylor made a comeback in his subsequent fight, which was fought against Rory MacDonald and ended in a Technical Knockout in the first round. In the meantime, recent battles against Sadibou Sy and Magomed Umalatov did not go his way, as he lost both bouts. The fight against Umalatov was won in round one with a knockout, while the fight against Sadibou Sy was determined in round five through points. Despite the fact that Dilano Taylor is now on a losing streak, the American-born fighter is going to attempt to take on his fear, rise above it, and be confident in his ability to defeat a challenging opponent in order to return to winning ways.
