Former Bellator champ Will Brooks announces UFC release, PFL signing
A former Bellator champion — turned UFC fighter — is headed to PFL.
Will Brooks announced Wednesday night in an Instagram post that he has been released by the UFC and has signed with Professional Fighters League (PFL) to compete in its upcoming $1 million tournament. It is presumed he will compete in the lightweight division.
“I’m extremely excited and fired up to be part of [PFL] and their rebirth,” Brooks wrote. “The timing is perfect because I’m in my own rebirth process as well. As always I’m going to represent this organization as professionally as I possibly can. I look forward to being a pivotal part of the PFL’s growth in this sport.”
