PFL star Brendan Loughnane<\/a> opens up on everything from his signing with the promotion to life in quarantine and beyond in this exclusive with BJPENN.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Loughnane has largely been viewed as one of the most underrated British talents for many years now, with most fans believing that he has long since deserved a chance at proving himself in the Ultimate Fighting Championship once again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, after not being signed to a contract despite his victory on Dana White’s Contender Series, Loughnane put himself out there on the open the market – and it’s safe to say there was quite a bit of interest in his services.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI had like ONE [Championship], Bellator, PFL, KSW, I had some very good offers on the table. For me, and for what I want out of the sport, Madison Square Garden, Mandalay Bay, they [PFL] guaranteed me seven fights within twelve months, insane. I\u2019ve never fought that many times. Tournament format, it\u2019s on the main channel in America and the same channel as the UFC<\/a>, obviously, ESPN, and it was a no brainer from there really. I wanna get really active and if I keep winning, then I keep progressing.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He went on to claim back-to-back victories in his first two fights with the Professional Fighters League, seeing off the challenge of Matt Wagy and David Valente. Now, though, he’s been left to sit and wait for what comes next due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thankfully, Brendan Loughnane is making sure he doesn’t waste any time in isolation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
