Bryan Battle believes the Professional Fighters League has some of the best fighters in his weight class.

Despite a 7-1 UFC record, Battle was promptly released from the promotion last month after missing weight by four pounds for a scheduled middleweight bout against Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC 319, leading to the cancellation of the bout. This was Battle’s second consecutive weight miss after he missed weight for a split-decision win over Randy Brown last year, which influenced the move to middleweight.
