PFL Play-offs: Brendan Loughnane beats Kai Kamaka III to reach featherweight final

Following a close opening few minutes where the pair traded leg kicks and rapid punch combinations, Manchester’s Loughnane took control with a spinning back kick to the body which hurt Kamaka.

The shot forced the 29-year-old back away, but Loughnane closed the distance, dropping him with a number of knees from the clinch before being saved by the bell.

That moment proved to be the most significant of the ****** in a close contest where the pair traded multiple combinations.

Kamaka did his best work with his hands, stepping in to land quick one-twos, while Loughnane excelled with his feet, continuing to ******* with spinning back kicks and damaging the *********’s calves with repeated strikes.

Two of the judges scored the ****** 29-28 apiece, before Loughnane raised his arm in victory, guessing correctly he would be announced as the winner when hearing the third judge had ruled it 30-27 in his favour.

Victory gave Loughnane the 30th win of his 35-****** career and ended Kamaka’s five-****** win streak.

He is the second Mancunian to reach the 2024 PFL Finals after
