Jack Cartwright spoiled Caolán Loughran’s promotional debut at PFL Dubai, handing the Irish prospect a decisive decision loss.
Cartwright came out looking sharp, using his speed to land combinations against the heavily favored Loughran. That trend continued into the second, though Loughran fared a bit better in the stanza. Still, Cartwright went to his corner after 10 minutes with a potential 2-0 lead over the Irishman.
Loughran came out for the third, immediately looking to wrestle. He did exactly that, securing an early takedown near the fence and settling into half guard. Loughran spent the last three and a half minutes landing shots on the ground, but nothing significant enough for the referee to step in.
