European MMA fans breathed a sigh of relief when Brendan’s Loughnane’s upcoming bout with Bill Algeo was confirmed for the season premiere of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series on June 16 during Saturday’s UFC 237 broadcast.
For years, fans and media alike have been shouting from the hilltops about Loughnane’s skill set. The Mancunian has been at the top of the list in terms of unsigned MMA talent since his sole trip to the Octagon in 2012, where a decision loss to countryman Mike Wilkinson ruled him out of the running for a UFC contract following his time on TUF: Smashes.
