On the eve of debuting in the Ultimate Octagon, Caolan Loughran left his business card during the ceremonial weigh-in of the UFC Paris, in the early afternoon of this Friday (1). In a mix of personality and lack of politeness, the Irishman showed the middle finger and made obscene gestures towards the public present at the ceremony.

Caolan Loughran faces Taylor Lapilus, a Parisian athlete, at the end of the preliminary card of the UFC Paris, this Saturday (2). Consequently, the Irishman was the target of boos when his name was announced to appear on stage for the event's ceremonial weigh-in. In response, 'The Don' provoked the audience by initially placing his hands on his ears and opening his arm and, later, showing his middle fingers and making gestures alluding to masturbation towards the crowd.

At 27, Caolan Loughran arrives at Ultimate with morale. Undefeated in his career with eight wins in eight fights, the Irishman has on his resume the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2kg) from Cage Warriors, the largest MMA organization in the United Kingdom.

The Irishman's opponent, Taylor Lapilus returns to the octagon after almost exactly seven years for his second stint in Ultimate. The Frenchman worked for the organization between 2015 and 2016 and spent the last few years working on the Canadian and French scenes.
