PFL playoffs: Brendan Loughnane vs. Movlid Khaybulaev full live results and highlights.
We’ve reached the third and final event of the PFL‘s semifinal round, as the featherweight and light heavyweight 2021 championships fights will be determined tonight at PFL Playoffs 3.
In the main event, two talented featherweights in Brendan Loughnane and Movlid Khaybulaev will do battle for a spot in the 145-pound finals.
Loughnane has found a home for himself in the PFL since infamously failing to earn a contract on season three of Dana White’s Contender Series. He took part in showcase bouts in 2019, defeating Matt Wagy and David Valente.
Loughnane advanced to the featherweight playoffs through a first-round finish of Sheymon Moraes and edging out Tyler Diamond in an exciting close fight.
Khaybulaev competed in the 2019 PFL season, where he famously scored a 10-second, flying knee knockout of Damon Jackson. He’d go on to draw with Andre Harrison before being submitted by Daniel Pineda. The loss to Pineda had been Khaybulaev’s first as a pro, but it was overturned to a no-contest after Pineda failed a drug test.
After a one-minute submission win in UAE Warriors, Khaybulaev returned to the PFL this year, advancing with decision wins over Lazar Stojadinovic and Lance Palmer.
