PARIS – Taylor Lapilus ’s win on Saturday night was extra special. Not only did the victory at UFC Fight Night 226 mark his UFC return, but he also did it in his home country and against a man who had disrespected French MMA. Lapilus (19-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) beat Caolan Loughran (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in a unanimous decision on the preliminary card of the event. Loughran flipped the bird to the Parisian crowd at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins and had spoken badly about the level of French MMA in the leadup to the fight. Getting the victory was a must for Lapilus

Taylor Lapilus didn’t understand his UFC release, but says he became better from it

BAD MMA News — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 12:36:04 +0000

UFC Fight Night 226 will remain mostly intact after a shuffle in the lineup. After Lucas Almeida and Muin Gafurov were forced out of their respective bouts , William Gomis (12-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Taylor Lapilus (18-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) were in need of new opponents. The UFC switched the lineup and booked Gomis in a featherweight bout against Yanis Ghemmouri (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who was originally scheduled to face Cage Warriors champion Caolan Loughran (8-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Lapilus will now face Loughran. Two people with knowledge of the changes confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report by The AB Show .

Video: The UFC’s French broadcast team completely lost their sh*t when Ciryl Gane won interim title

Move over Daniel Cormier – you’re not the only one who might have an over-the-top reaction on a UFC broadcast. The team commentating the UFC for RMC Sport in Ciryl Gane ’s native France had quite the reaction when “Bon Gamin” claimed the promotion’s interim heavyweight title at August’s UFC 265 with a third-round TKO win over the hard-hitting Derrick Lewis. You don’t need to speak a word of French to feel the energy put forth by UFC veteran Taylor Lapilus and fellow MMA Factory Paris fighter Taylor Lapilus, as well as his broadcast partners Antoine Simon and Samyr Hamoudi. Relive the moment in the video below (via Twitter ): Relive the moment @Ciryl_Gane won the interim heavyweight belt via the @RMCSport team… pic.twitter.com/QX9lVSIG1v — UFC Europe (@UFCEurope) January 18, 2022 Jon Anik, Joe Rogan and Cormier might have their work cut out for them at Saturday’s UFC 270 . If interim champion Gane (10-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) finds a way to stop reigning titleholder Francis Ngannou (16-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC), I know which feed I’m going to be watching.
