French bantamweight Taylor Lapilus made a winning start to his Professional Fighters League career on Saturday, beating Sweden’s Ali Taleb by unanimous decision in the co-main event of PFL Brussels. Lapilus, a former UFC competitor, outpointed Taleb—who entered the bout as a 2024 PFL regional champion—after three hard-fought rounds. The judges’ clean sweep gives Lapilus an early advantage in the league’s tournament format and ends Taleb’s recent winning momentum.
