Brendan Loughnane Proud to Shine in the PFL: ‘We’ve Built Together; We’ve Grown Together’

Professional Fighters League 145-pound 2022 kingpin Brendan Loughnane believes he has found the best place for him.

Loughnane (25-4, 8-1 PFL) punctuated a perfect season in 2022 by winning the championship at the end of a road that saw him defeat Ryoji Kudo, Ago Huskic and Chris Wade. In the finals, the Brit crushed Bubba Jenkins with a punches-and-knee combination in the fourth stanza. In addition to the title, Loughnane also pocketed $1 million. Ahead of the 2023 PFL Season, Loughnane confessed money is still a big motivation in his career, but he also wants to build up his legacy. Loughnane will return to the cage as he takes former Ultimate Fighting Championship title challenger Marlon Moraes in the 2023 PFL 1 headliner. While talking with Sherdog, Loughnane stated he’s delighted to fight in the PFL, as their relationship has been mutually beneficial.

“I'm glad because I bounced around a lot earlier in my career. Lots of different promotions, but I'm glad I set myself in one now. We’ve built together, we've grown together. It's great to see all these U.K. fighters joining now. PFL are great company to fight for and nothing but respect for them.”
