"Bryan Battle's world was turned upside down just a few weeks ago, but he's landed on his feet. Battle (12-2, 1NC) was bounced from the UFC after missing weight for a fight with Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC 319 on August 16. That weight miss, which led to the bout's cancellation, was the second straight for Battle, at two different weight classes (welterweight and middleweight), not to mention his third overall as a UFC fighter."
"After being cut by the promotion just days later, Battle took a fight with Mike Perry's Dirty Boxing Championship, defeating Derik de Freitas by TKO in just under a minute. Now, The Ultimate Fighter 29 winner has signed on with the PFL, the UFC's main rival these days. PFL officials announced the signing on Friday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. However, Battle was listed as a middleweight in the graphic the PFL ran with to announce Battle's arrival."
Bryan Battle was released by the UFC after missing weight for a bout with Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC 319 on August 16, marking his second consecutive weight miss across two weight classes and his third overall in the promotion. Days after the release, Battle defeated Derik de Freitas by TKO in just under a minute for Mike Perry's Dirty Boxing Championship. Battle signed with the PFL, with the organization listing him as a middleweight; terms were not disclosed. Battle has won four of his last five official UFC fights, with the remaining bout ruled a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke. His media catchphrase includes "ya know what I'm saying?"
