Brendan Loughnane is out of the PFL season after being brutally knocked out by underdog Jesus Pinedo on a night of finishes in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Manchester native's 145lb. belt wasn't up for grabs on the night, but he had marked it as his second defence after dispatching of Marlon Moraes in the second round last time out. But he faced a stiff test from the bigger UFC veteran Pinedo, who was in desperate need of a stoppage after losing a razor-close decision to Gabriel Braga during week one.
It was a star-studded night at the OTE Arena in Downtown Atlanta, with former heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder watching from cageside. He was joined by former WWE superstar Dean 'Mojo Rawley' Muhtadi and social media star NDO to watch an exciting night of fights.
