Brendan Loughnane fights Justin Gonzales in a PFL regular season bout later tonight
“The PFL isn’t for everyone,” said Loughnane. “I think it’s the hardest thing you can possibly do in combat sports. It’s four world-class fights. If you miss a fight or get hurt, you’re out. You can reschedule in the UFC. Not here. It’s definitely for a certain type of fighter like myself.”Loughnane currently sits in first place in the PFL featherweight standings, collecting six points in April when he finished Pedro Carvalho with a first-round knockout.
“Last year, I took my eye off the ball,” said Loughnane, who won the PFL title in 2022 but was eliminated in 2023 by Jesus Pinedo. “Pinedo knocked me out because of it. Nothing’s certain until it is, so I’ve got to go in there and do my job.”Loughnane is five years removed from getting passed over by the UFC. Instead of venting or expressing frustration, he capitalized on his time in the PFL, where he has established himself as one of the promotion’s premiere featherweights.
“PFL champions might do as well in the UFC, or they might not–it’s a different format,” said Loughnane. “UFC fighters would struggle in the PFL. This is my fourth season, and I finally have it down.”
