21. Jesus Pinedo sends PFL champion Brendan Loughnane into outer space
From PFL 4 -2023
No one thought that Jesus Pinedo had a chance against the seemingly unbeatable Brendan Loughnane.
Loughnane, the PFL 2022 champion, came into the fight with the kind of confidence that can't be bought ... only earned. And Pinedo was going to take that all away.
In the very first round of their PFL 4 bout, the last of the regualr season, Pinedo landed a perfectly timed knee to the face of Loughnane who dropped and was finished with hammerfists on the ground.
Not only was the KO impressive but it knocked Loughnane out of the season and propelled Pinedo into the 2023 PFL Playoffs.
