Brendan Loughnane on Contender Series contract snub: ‘What else do I have to do?’

Brendan Loughnane is unsure about where his future lies following Dana White’s refusal to award him with a contract on the back of a dominant win on last week’s Dana White’s Contender Series.

White’s decision to not award Loughnane a contract due to the Englishman’s takedown attempt in the dying embers of the contest sparked online debate. Many believe that Loughnane fought the highest level of opponent and showcased the most dynamic skillset of the night en route to victory over Bill Algeo.

Appearing on the latest episode of MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast, Loughnane admitted that he was concerned that he didn’t get a finish immediately after the contest, but was reassured by training partner and close friend Dominick Cruz that he had done enough.
