UFC Title Implications: Brendan Allen's Shot
A new fight week is upon us as UFC Fight Night: de Ridder vs. Allen heads to Vancouver this Saturday.
Originally slated to face Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez, de Ridder will now square off against number nine-ranked middleweight Brendan Allen, who steps in as a late replacement.
Hernandez has been making waves in the middleweight division, riding an impressive eight-fight win streak, with six of those victories coming by finish.
Back in February, he secured a decision win over none other than Brendan, the man now taking his place this weekend.
Allen, while undeniably talented, has lost in two of his last three UFC appearances.
This raises an important question: would a win on Saturday put him in title contention the same way it likely would have for Hernandez?
Hernandez’s claim to a title shot was becoming undeniable.
A win on Saturday could put Allen in title contention.
