CHICAGO – Brendan Loughnane was puzzled to see there was controversy surrounding his latest win, as he thought it was a clean one.
The 2022 PFL featherweight champion picked up a first-round TKO win over Pedro Carvalho in the co-main event of Friday’s 2024 PFL 3 event. Many online criticized the stoppage, calling it premature, as Carvalho (13-9), who had been stunned a couple of times, looked to be going for a takedown when the fight was stopped. He also stood up immediately and seemed unhappy with the call.
Loughnane (28-5) is convinced the referee made the right move.
