The Professional Fighters League and its playoff format once again made my job easier with PFL 9 on Saturday at Copper Box Arena in London. With the featherweight and women’s lightweight champions now set, let us examine the matches and look toward Nov. 25:
2022 PFL Featherweight Championship
#3 | Bubba Jenkins (19-5, 5-1 PFL) vs. #4 | Brendan Loughnane (24-4, 7-1 PFL)
A onetime NCAA wrestling champion, Jenkins advanced to the featherweight final with a quick rear-naked choke submission of an overmatched Ryoji Kudo. His PFL resume also includes wins over Lance Palmer, Bobby Moffett, Kyle Bochniak and Reinaldo Ekson, with his only setback coming in a decision defeat to Chris Wade.
