After fighting sporadically for independent promotions between 2009 to 2013, Carneiro signed to compete in a one-night, eight-man tournament for BattleGrounds MMA on October 3, 2014.[4] In the quarterfinals, he defeated Randall Wallace by submission in the first round. In the semifinals, he defeated Trey Houston by TKO in the second round. In the finals, Carneiro defeated Brock Larson by unanimous decision to be crowned the tournament champion.
