LAS VEGAS – Bubba Jenkins still has a sour taste in his mouth over how his 2022 PFL season ended.
Last year, Jenkins (19-6 MMA, 5-2 PFL) had an impressive run, racking up three wins to reach the featherweight championship bout. The only man standing in his way of the title and the $1 million prize was Brendan Loughnane.
It was a competitive bout early, but Loughnane (26-4 MMA, 8-1 PFL) invested in leg kicks from the start, which paid huge dividends by hindering Jenkins’ movement. In the fourth round, the fight was over after a flurry of strikes, and Jenkins’ hopes of becoming PFL champion were crushed.
