Taylor Lapilus won't be re-signing with the UFC after all.
The French fighter was one of the more surprising fighters to depart from the UFC recently, his removal from the roster announced in February. This wasn't the first time Lapilus was released from the promotion, leaving the UFC with a 3-1 record in 2016.
Winner of 8 of his last 9 fights, Lapilus also held a 3-1 record in his second UFC run. "Double Impact" defeated the likes of Caolán Loughran, Vince Morales and Cody Stamann, who was released from the roster at the same time.
6-2 in the UFC (seven of those fights going to decision) and 21-4 as a pro overall, Lapilus has found a new fighting home.

At 32 years old, Taylor Lapilus is set to compete in the PFL's new bantamweight division (135lbs). His opponent has yet to be announced.
