Allen has been found a new opponent to fight at UFC Fight Night 240

Just yesterday it became known that the UFC Fight Night 240 tournament lost its main event. Marvin Vettori was injured and was forced to withdraw from the fight against Brendan Allen. Also, sources close to the situation claimed that the promotion was unable to find a replacement for Vettori, so Allen was also pulled from the tournament card.

However, news broke today that the UFC has found a replacement for Vettori. The new opponent of Brendan Allen became Chris Curtis. This information was officially confirmed in the promotion. It should be noted that Curtis in his last fight won a split decision of judges from Marc-Andre Barrio.

Recall, the tournament UFC Fight Night 240 will be held on April 6 in Las Vegas.
