Loughnane said that in comparison, mixed martial arts and the PFL are more straight-forward. They give you a name, and you’re supposed to show up and fight.
Check out this excerpt from James English’s interview with Brendan Loughnane:
Here’s what Brendan Loughnane had to say about boxing in comparison to MMA:

Brendan Loughnane had two unsuccessful stints in the UFC
Brendan Loughnane had two stints in the UFC; first on TUF: The Smashes, and second on Dana White’s Contender Series 17. He found relative success on the aforementioned TUF season, winning his first fight and losing his next. The only official UFC fight Brendan Loughnane had was a losing bout to Mike Wilkinson in the TUF: The Smashes finale.
In his next UFC stint, Loughnane faced Bill Algeo in Dana White’s Contender Series 17. Even though he ended up winning the bout by unanimous decision, he wasn’t awarded a contract. In contrast, his opponent Bill Algeo went on to fight in the UFC, compiling a 3-3 record.
Loughnane eventually found success in the Professional Fighters League, where he compiled a 8-1 record. The Manchester native has 14 knockouts and one submission victory in his MMA career.
