At the Accor Arena in Bercy
The French bantamweight was making his comeback to the UFC seven years after his last fight in the queen organization, which he had won. His opponent named Caolan Loughran was an Irishman who stood out during the weigh-in for his rude behavior towards the French public.
The Irishman took control of the center and the psychological ascendancy in the first round, but had an arcade opened there. In the second round, the Irishman stuck Lapilus against the cage without managing to do too much damage to him. Despite his facial expressions, Caolan Loughran did not offer much except pressure, well countered by Lapilus, who used his jab a lot, the characteristic weapon of his big brother Damien, champion of the ARES league. Worn out, the Irishman suffered powerful and precise blows during the end of the last recovery. Victory for Taylor “Double Impact” Lapilus, smarter and more patient than his opponent.
Taylor Lapilus' record now stands at 19-3-0.
