Strickland assessed Allen's win over Curtis

Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland commented on Brendan Allen 's win over Chris Curtis in the main event of UFC Fight Night 240.

"The UFC said: 'Chris, we need you in a week.' I said: "Chris, you've barely trained because you've been resting for childcare. Give it up." And Curtis came out and right off the couch and interrupted the guy after only practicing for a week.

I remember when the UFC team was taking Curtis down and we had one round of sparring. I let him win. The cameramen were surprised since they know me. But if I had fought to the fullest then, Chris would have lost faith in me. Today he was in terrible shape. And still won," wrote Strickland in X.

Recall, Allen beat Curtis by split decision of the judges.
