Video: Is PFL’s Brendan Loughnane one of world’s best featherweights?

Brendan Loughnane PFL MMA UFC

Brendan Loughnane proved himself the best featherweight in the 2022 PFL season, as he reigned supreme and took home the championship in his division.

The success continued for Loughnane (27-4) as Friday he headlined the promotion’s season opener 2023 PFL 1 when he defeated former UFC bantamweight title challenger Marlon Moraes (23-12-1) by second-round TKO.

With the victory, Loughnane moved to 9-1 under the PFL banner. Obviously, he’s one of the promotion’s top-tier talents. But that renders the question: just how good is Brendan Loughnane, not just in PFL, but across the entire landscape of MMA’s featherweight division?

That’s what was asked to this week’s “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn and Dan Tom, along with host Farah Hannoun. Check out their analysis in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s full episode below.

“Spinning Back Clique” is released each Monday LIVE on MMA Junkie’s YouTube channel.
