Life-changing money will be on the line when Brendan Loughnane meets Bubba Jenkins in the 2022 Professional Fighters League Championships lightweight final this Friday at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in New York. A $1 million prize goes to the winner.

Loughnane enters the cage on the strength of a three-fight winning streak. The 2019 Dana White’s Contender Series alum advanced to the final at PFL 9, where he took a three-round unanimous decision from former Ring of Combat titleholder Chris Wade on Aug. 20. Jenkins, meanwhile, has rattled off three consecutive victories. The onetime NCAA wrestling champion punched his ticket to the final on Aug. 20, when he dispatched Tribe Tokyo MMA’s Ryoji Kudo with a rear-naked choke in the first round of their PFL 9 pairing.

As Loughnane and Jenkins make final preparations for their high-stakes showdown at 155 pounds, a look at some of the numbers that have accompanied them to this point:
