After names like Rashad evans, Kamaru Usman e Chael Sonnen, it was the turn of former PFL champion Brendan Laughnane to give his opinion in favor of the North American.

Champion of the PFL featherweight tournament (up to 65,7 kg) in 2022, the Briton, who revealed that he has trained with Khalil in the past, believes that the challenger's desire will be enough for the North American to surprise Poatan in the first round and become UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg).

“I’m going to take the underdog on this one. I’m going to go for him. You know why? Because he’s hungry. He’s been around a long time and this is probably his last opportunity as he gets older. Alex Pereira has been an animal, but I know Khalil. I’ve trained with him. Khalil’s a good guy and a great fighter. I’m going to go with him in the first round,” Loughnane said.
