Brendan Loughnane wins PFL title and $1million by knocking out Bubba Jenkins

Brendan Loughnane is now a millionaire as he beat Bubba Jenkins to win the PFL featherweight title and the promotion's illustrious seven-figure prize.

The British MMA star was competing for the chance to win $1million having previously came up short in last year's competition, losing to eventual winner Movlid Khaybulaev in the semi-finals. Loughnane had a phenomenal run on his road to the title, winning hard-fought decisions against Ryoji Kudo and Ago Huskic before qualifying for the final with a flawless win against bitter rival Chris Wade in August.

Loughnane started the fight by attacking Jenkins' lead leg with calf kicks as 'Bad Man' was looking to make use of his superior wresting by getting the Brit to the mat. Jenkins was mixing up his striking and wrestling well to prove he isn't a one dimensional fighter, hurting Loughnane with a right hook in the opening stanza.
