On Wednesday morning, Ultimate Fighting Championship officials revealed the 12th and final bout for the lineup, as Taylor Lapilus (9-1) will meet Yuta Sasaki (18-2).
“I am more motivated than ever for this fight,” said Lapilus in a press release distributed by the UFC. “I am confident in my physical and mental preparation … the answer remains in the heart of the fight.”
