As the PFL gets ready to kick off its 2019 campaign, a few among the returning cast are accordingly a little heavier in the pocket. One of those who picked up the cool $1 million prize at the end of the rainbow last year was Louis Taylor, the 39-year old Chicago veteran whom many didn’t see coming. After navigating a tough semifinals field at middleweight last October — fighting Rex Harris and John Howard on the same night — Taylor smoked Abusupiyan Magomedov in the finals win the money.
It was a payday like no other he’d ever experienced, and more money than he had accrued in 22 pro fights beforehand.
