Scheduled for second UFC fight
Loughran is scheduled to compete against Angel Pacheco in a bantamweight fight at UFC Atlantic City on March 30, per Nolan King of MMA Junkie.
ANALYSIS
Loughran will have a second opportunity to make an excellent impression with the UFC. He entered the UFC with an 8-0 record but lost his promotion debut in a fight against Taylor Lapilus. Unlike Lapilus, who has more than twice the fights Loughran has, Pacheco has the same amount of pro bouts as Loughran and is making his UFC debut at Atlantic City.

Sees final bell in UFC debut
Loughran lost to Taylor Lapilus via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
There were real concerns regarding how effective Loughran would be in his UFC debut, as although he entered with a perfect 8-0 pro record, some of his past opponents would be dubbed "highly questionable" at best. Heck, one guy had a career record of 1-45. Seriously. Anyway, Loughran performed well enough, struggling in prolonged striking exchanges between he and Lapilus but also landing a pair of takedowns, good for 6:26 worth of control time. Loughran's biggest issue was the fact he simply was never able to damage his opponent in any significant way. The good news for Caolan is that he should certainly get another fight with the company after this effort.
