Brendan is in my top 5 favorites. Besides his lack of defense (getting better), he's pretty dang good everywhere, especially on the ground.

Hadn't seen that.
Thanks for sharing.

Brendan Allen looking like a fucking beast in that fight.

He's looked like a beast in his last couple of fights, dudes killing it.

I think Curtis rematch is good fight for both men at this point. Brendan gets a chance to move past that loss and Curtis gets chance to actually fight Imavov with a win instead of trying to bait him to a brawl at ringside like:

This Curtis fights interesting for Allen.

I know Chris Curtis is limited and not as well rounded being a boxing specialist but despite his clear increase in power and more potent subs Allen hasn’t really had to show us if he’s added the tools necessary to deal with a striker like Strickland, Izzy, DDP or Whittaker who are masters at range. Having more power isn’t the answer to beat Curtis so Allen will need to show he can dominate in range and in the clinch like Hermanson did to win and if he can do that against Curtis he is a legit title contender.

I love how offensive and attack minded his top game is.

Reminds me of prime Chael Sonnen, Sean Sherk or how I think Ricardo Arona might have looked in the UFC with the ability to utilize elbow strikes.

Paul Craig is no schmuck on the ground and Brendan tore right thru him.

He looked like a monster vs Gastelum too if I remember correctly.

Dude is violent and I dig it.

As long as they're doing damage and attempting and defending submissions, these face-offs between 2 high level grapplers are the most tense UFC fights to me.

Ya'll have any idea what Allen said to Craig at 10:58?

And I was just watching Craig finish Jamahal Hill in the first round, first by breaking his arm, then TKO'ing him with strikes to the head...

 

[modulus]

Yeah man, watching Allen dominate a guy like Craig on the ground?? - respect.


I admit it, I was surprised watching that fight go down the way it did.

Allen Curtis 2 is a rematch I can really get behind. The Xtreme Couture boys had his number years ago, but Allen has gotten better and Curtis is getting older. With that said, Curtis still has statuesque TDD and solid boxing work, with nice body shots. Let's see how Allen's standup-game has evolved. Him getting KO'd by Curtis will definitely be a huge setback if it happens lol

I love it when guys drop down to be weight bullies but get ragdolled and embarrassed worse than ever before.

Although Craig has a bunch of subs I feel like I've seen him get clobbered on the ground by many guys

 

[Deceasedxo]

It's sad that Paul just can't make it happen consistently at the highest level.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Allen really came out of left field to me with how dominant he has looked. I recall his fight with Muniz thinking that it was terrible match making and that Allen didn't deserve the opportunity to fight one of the best prospects, forgetting that Allen himself was still a young prospect. He really is looking good everywhere except a little bit defensively.

Haha was wondering the same both times I watched this fight...Allen looking good in this one.

Hope he KO's Curits, I already like him but if he did that then he become my second favorite middleweight on the roster

 

[Elvis.]

I was really impressed how he dominated Craig on the ground

 

[SuperNerd]

Its a gooder.
