Arnold Allen, the fourth number one in the UFC featherweight division, shared his expectations for the upcoming fight with Movsar Evloev.
“Evloev is very promoted. After the Holloway fight, we directly asked Brian Ortega, but he was out of the game. There are easier opponents and higher-rated guys, but I think Evloev is a very serious opponent, and ratings are a kind of selection, right? A difficult test awaits me. I think beating an undefeated guy and taking away his hype and undefeated record is a lot more important than beating a number three ranked guy who's on the decline or something like that,” Allen said.
Let us remind you that Allen’s confrontation with Evloev will take place on the night of January 21 as part of UFC 297.
