Brendan Allen is one of middleweight's most dangerous grapplers, a fighter who quietly assembled some of the division's better win streaks on the strength of his submission game. When the fight hits the mat, Allen is a constant threat to end it.
He's beaten a quality run of opponents, including former title challenger Marvin Vettori, Paul Craig and Chris Curtis, building a legitimate contender's resume. The division's elite have tested his ceiling, but his blend of submissions and improving striking keeps him in the mix.
Fans who appreciate the ground game gravitate to Allen. He doesn't always grab headlines, but he finishes fights, and he's beaten more name opponents than his profile suggests.
Why fans love Allen
Slick submissions, consistent win streaks, and a quietly improving all-around game.
