A matchup of former
UFC talents has been added to the
PFL Brussels card.
The promotion announced on Wednesday that Taylor
Lapilus will take on Jake Hadley
in a bantamweight matchup on May 23 at ING Arena in Brussels,
Belgium. PFL Brussels is headlined by a lightweight showdown
pitting undefeated Belgian prospect Patrick
Habirora against ex-UFC kingpin Benson
Henderson.
Continuing One Streak, Ending Another
Lapilus boasts a five-bout winning streak that dates back to his
UFC tenure. The 33-year-old Frenchman has been victorious in his
first three
Professional Fighters League appearances, notably ending a
multi-fight decision streak with a third-round TKO of Kasum
Kasumov in his last outing at PFL Dubai. Lapilus went 6-2
across two separate UFC stints.
England’s Hadley split a pair of PFL bouts last year, submitting
Matheus
Mattos with a twister in April before dropping a unanimous
verdict against Macirley Alves in June. Prior to that, the
Dana White’s Contender Series alum went 3-4 in UFC
competition.
