Featherweights Brendan Loughnane and Justin Gonzales headline the upcoming PFL 6 event at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Friday, June 28, starting at 6:00 PM ET. Loughnane is heavily favored with odds at -500.
Loughnane has had a positive start to the year, winning by TKO in the first round over Pedro Carvalho at PFL 3 in April. This put him back on the winning side after a first-round TKO loss in his previous bout to Jesus Pinedo in June last year.
He has accumulated 27 wins and five losses, with 15 knockouts, a submission, and 11 decisions making up his winning column. Eight of his wins have ended in the opening round of action, and four of his five losses have come by decision.
He has earned most of his wins with the PFL, going 10-2 in the promotion since 2019. He also has an appearance in the UFC and a successful bout in Dana White's Contender Series, but nothing panned out from these fights.
Loughnane is considered the 41st-best fighter in the world rankings. This is a huge opportunity to continue rising in that regard and to advance in the PFL realm.
Gonzales is not on the best track entering this fight, losing his last three battles. His latest defeat was a first-round knockout against Gabriel Braga at PFL 3 in April. In two out of three losses lately, he has lost by decision.
He has put together 14 wins and four losses. Out of 14 wins, he has earned three knockouts, a submission, and nine decisions. For his losses, three have come by decision. He also has two first-round finishes under his belt.
This will be his second appearance under the PFL banner. His most notable experience was at Bellator, where he went 3-3 in six total fights. This is a tremendous opportunity to get back on track and do it against a respectable opponent.
Looking at the world rankings, he comes in as the 103rd-best featherweight. He would jump a few spots if he can make a statement win here.
