A professional since December 2014 and representing MMA Factory, Alex Lohore owns a 17-4 record in 21 career bouts as a professional comprised of nine knockouts, five submissions and three decisions. Prior to making his debut with Cage Warriors in 2018, Lohore competed with various promotions in Europe including BAMMA, UCMMA and Bellator MMA.

In his MMA debut, he submitted Andrew Thalic via rear naked choke. Lohore defeated his next three opponents that included wins over Brendan Morgan and Aaron Brett.
