Brendan Loughnane had a year away from fighting, but that doesn’t mean he took any days off.
The featherweight prospect, who signed with the PFL in 2019, was gearing up for a run at the season title when the promotion decided to cancel all events in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. At the time, Loughnane was deep into training camp in Thailand. He had a choice to go home and sulk about the fight cancellations, or continue the hard work that made him a high-value acquisition following an appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series.
