I haven't actually watched much of either guy recently but going by records you've gotta think the winner gets offered a UFC contract here. Both 10-1 with no recent losses and fighting in one of the major regional promotions. Loughnane's only loss was as a very young guy on the TUF Smashes finale IN the UFC and has reeled off five straight wins since. I was surprised he was one and done in the first place because he showed a ton of potential in there with Mike Wilkinson who had him overmatched with experience. Thoughts on the fight? Kind of sucks one has to lose imo as they're both interesting prospects.
Think Duquesnoy will win, I'm pretty excited since I've got tickets. A 21 fight card is pretty epic also
No they are best friends and training partners. They are doing a white collar MMA show in Manchester at the Victoria Warehouse soon though.
Fuckin great fight. I remember thinking Loughnane beat Wilkinson back in the day and that it was a shame ufc cut him. Any word on a stream for people across the pond? Bammas been hard to find a way to watch since the spike UK deal.
Fire Kid just signed a new exclusive deal with Bamma for 4 fights so he isnt going to UFC if he wins. He said he wanted a few more fights before he goes to UFC or I guess Belllator if he got a better deal from them. Probably ends up in UFC late 2016/early 2017.
There are currently a few options on the table which are being considered. Should be some news soon. You can always watch the events Prelims on our live stream via the Lonsdale FB page though.
