But the featherweight contender battled on to win on points and was left with a closed left eye for his troubles

Astonishingly, Loughnane revealed his eye had all-but recovered just a day later.

He tweeted: “24 hours later. Is that normal?”

Loughnane, 32, won his two Professional Fighters League playoff bouts and scored six points for the pair of decision victories.

It was enough for him to qualify into the last four knockout stages, where he faces American rival Chris Wade, 34.

Loughnane’s semi-final against Wade will be a UK homecoming, set for August 20 at the Copper Box Arena in London.

Up for grabs is the chance to fight in the $1million winner-take-all finale.

Loughnane celebrated his recent win post-fight with a can of PFL-sponsored Bud Light and said: “I need to be better but I will be better.

“It’s just not good enough I’m a perfectionist and I should be stopping guys like that. I just wasn’t pulling the trigger

“He was extremely awkward what the fuck was that guy doing. If you go into a technical match with me I’ll have it but this guy had not read the script.

“He was just throwing shit out of nowhere. Not to put him down. But I feel like I stooped myself down to his level tonight.”
