After beating Chris Wade, Brendan Loughnane, a British MMA fighter, has advanced to the PFL's $1m winner take-all final.

BRENDAN LOUGHNANE has advanced to the Professional Fighters League's thrilling $1million winner-takes-all final.

In the Copper Box semi-final, the Manchester featherweight defeated Chris Wade over three rounds.

Bubba Jenkins (34), is his American opponent. A win will earn him the PFL title belt, $1m prize cheque, and a life-changing $1m prize.

Mike Owens Media was told by Loughnane that "This is probably my best opponent."

"This should place me right up there on the world rankings. It was all about belief tonight.

"In the two last fights, I didn't know who that man was, and I began to wonder, 'F***ing hell! Have I lost it? Is that the guy?

"And I come out the world's greatest performance, the best performance in my life." "I'm so happy."

The PFL, MMA's only league format is composed of knockout and qualification rounds.

Each weight star has two playoff bouts where points can be earned for each method of success.

The top four advance to the playoffs. These consist of a semifinal and final.

Loughnane (32), and Wade (34), fought in the grudge match. They met at SunSport's headquarters.

Wade, however, is the one who returns to America with bragging rights.

Loughnane stated: "I didn't like Chris Wade. (But) he has to go back to the family.

"The fight is over, and I feel sorry for him now.

"He's a world-class fighter, and unfortunately one of us had the unlucky decision to lose."
