After snub on Dana White’s Contender Series, Brendan Loughnane signs with PFL

Brendan Loughnane has found a new home.

The British featherweight has signed an exclusive deal with PFL, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Loughnane made headlines last month after being passed up for a UFC contract following a win on Dana White’s Contender Series. His three-round affair was one of the more impressive performances of the night, but White said Loughnane wasn’t signed because he went for a takedown with less than 10 seconds left in the fight. White said multiple times he looks for “killers” on the UFC’s feeder show.

Loughnane said to Bloody Elbow after the fight that he thought there was more to White’s decision not to sign him than just his late takedown.
