Derek Brunson has now signed with the PFL and will compete in their light-heavyweight tournament after splitting from the UFC.
During his decade-long UFC career, Brunson spent a long time hanging around the middleweight top-15 and gained some valuable wins while doing so. The 39-year-old defeated the likes of Lyoto Machida, Uriah Hall and Kevin Holland during his tenure, but his time with the promotion is now over.
Brunson had been booked to face Roman Dolidze in November, but out of the blue it was announced that Brunson was out of the but and shortly after it was announced that he had parted ways with the UFC.
