Taylor Lapilus (born 8 April 1992) is a French mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Born and raised in Villepinte, Lapilus competed in soccer on various levels as a youngster. Before he began training in martial arts, he briefly attended college where he studied, and worked for a time as a welder.[1]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Lapilus followed the path of his brother Damien, who is also a professional mixed martial artist, and began training in mixed martial arts in 2010. He made his debut as a professional in 2012, competing as a featherweight for primarily for various regional promotions across France. He was able to compile a record along the way of 8-1. On the heels of his finish of Cyril Ericher in May 2014, Lapilus signed with the UFC in the fall of 2014.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Lapilus was expected to make his promotional debut on 4 October 2014 as a short notice replacement against Dennis Siver at UFC Fight Night 53, filling in for an injured Robert Whiteford.[5] However, the Swedish Mixed Martial Arts Federation subsequently deemed Lapilus an unsuitable opponent, and in turn, Charles Rosa was tabbed as the last-minute replacement.[6]

Lapilus eventually made his debut against Rocky Lee on 11 April 2014 at UFC Fight Night 64.[7] Lapilus won the fight via unaimous decision.[8]

Lapilus faced Yuta Sasaki on 20 June 2015 at UFC Fight Night 69.[9] Lapilus won the fight via TKO in the second round.[10]

Lapilus faced Érik Pérez on 21 November 2015 at The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 2 Finale.[11] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[12]

Lapilus next faced Leandro Issa on September 3, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 93.[13] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[14]
