Loughnane was a Dana White's Contender Series standout but didn't get signed by the UFC. Joining the PFL, Loughnane has gone 11-2 and won the 2022 featherweight tournament. Denied an opportunity to repeat in 2023, he has won two straight via TKO. Kamaka went 4-1 with Bellator. He is on a five-fight win streak, winning two PFL bouts via decision.
