Brendan Loughnane is closing in on a second PFL featherweight title, having won his semi-final against Kai Kamaka III on Friday.

Loughnane beat Kamaka via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) to progress to the 2024 PFL Finals, two years after winning the 145lb bracket to claim the belt and $1m in prize money.

The Manchester fighter, 34, will get another shot at a major payday and the featherweight title in November, when he faces Russia’s Timur Khizriev.

Loughnane almost secured a first-round finish of Kamaka at The Anthem in Washington on Friday (23 August), but the American rallied to stay in the contest.

However, Loughnane ultimately did enough to book his spot in the final, for the second time in three years.
