Arnold Allen has a 10 fight win streak right now.
Islam Makhachev had a 10 fight win streak before fighting for the title
Leon Edwards had a 10 fight unbeaten streak before fighting for the title.
Khabib Nurmagomedov had a 9 fight win streak before fighting for the interim title.
Tony Ferguson had a 9 fight win streak before fighting for the interim title.
Max Holloway had a 9 fight win streak before fighting for the interim title.
Charles Oliveira had an 8 fight win streak before fighting for the title.
Jon Fitch had an 8 fight win streak before fighting for the title.

Only counting UFC fights
To say Volk cleared out the division or has nobody to face is extremely disrespectful.
PS: I don't blame Volk for taking the opportunity.
 
10 fight win streak

9 years with the UFC

That's why. When you fight once a year you don't deserve the momentum to be in a title eliminator.

And what do you know after pushing his limits and fighting twice last year.... He is injured again and probably fighting once this year too <Lmaoo>

This logic doesn't carry.

He's fought more than Yair has in the last 5 years. And Yair is in the fight for the interim.

He's gone 7-0 in the same timeframe that Yair has gone 3-2-1.

Yair has fought far better competition posting records like that means nothing. Those 2 losses were to prime Frankie and Max 2 of the best fighters P4P when he fought them. And he gave Max a FOTY contender exceeding all expectations.

His best wins in Ortega and KZ are better than Arnold's in Kattar and... Sodiq?

Arnold's strength of competition is very mid in his streak to put it lightly. Beating Meza, Rinaldi, Amirkhani, shot Giblert, shot Lentz (both of whom would retire a fight later), death cut Hooker (who admitted it was a terrible idea and is back up to 155 immediately) don't mean anything really specially for top contenders.

Kattar is his only real high quality win. Sodiq is a questionable FW but probably his 2nd best. Actually Mads is probably his 2nd best win on quality and Arnold was getting his ass beat for 90% of that fight before pulling out a choke in the final couple minutes.

Arnold's streak isn't like the names of those streaks in the OP. There's a lot of fluff and poor competition he's beaten.

Since we are using this logic. Yair was getting his shit pushed in the entire fight by a borderline washed KZ until he pulled out the flukiest shit in UFC history in the last second. Is currently riding a ONE fight win streak. Impressing in a loss means fuck all in regards to title aspirations so the Max fight is irrelevant. A loss is a loss is a loss.

Oh yeah, and his one fight that he actually won was inconclusive as it ended due to an injury within the first round. His last win before that was in 2019 against a washed journeyman in Jeremy Stevens. And that remains the last time he conclusively won a fight. Hes fought better competition overall, he hasn't beaten better competition. All the elite competition he's fought beat him, except Ortega who got injured.

At least Allen beat the shit out of Kattar for a round before the injury happened. I'd also like to point out that Yair's opponent's best win is over Kattar in a fight that most consider a robbery.

So in conclusion. Allen is more active. His win streak is literally 10 times as long. He hasn't lost a fight in the UFC let alone in his last 2 fights.

Let's not kid ourselves. Allen's activity or competition level has no bearing on him not being in this fight. Its the fact that he is quiet while Yair cried and threatened to sit out until he was given a title fight.

Nah let’s give it to Josh “losing until I win” Emmett and Yair “fights once every 2 years” Rodriguez.

I feel kinda the same last year, when it was like Josh "Hey, the division has no real challengers right now, and I'm on a 4 fight win streak and just beat Dan Ige" Emmett got skipped over for Korean "Hey, I just got a 1 fight rebound over some guy named Dan Ige" Zombie

I find that a bit surprising. Being a brit Allen represents an important market for the UFC. Unfortunately for him they have Leon and Yair respresents the Mexican market which I think the UFC is eyeing right now. Getting Yair and Moreno holding belts at the same time sets up a big potential for the Mexican market.
 
You know what his problem is right? He’s only a few months away from 8 years in the UFC.

10 fights in 8 years? That’s ridiculous, man. I like him and all. But if I was the UFC, would I want that guy as a champion? No, I wouldn’t.

The guy has to show some kind of desire to be active. Like Islam did with 3 fights in 2021, I believe.

The UFC didn’t give Edwards his TS until they didn’t really have a choice anymore.

But, it’s hard for Allen to do that now because of his ranking. He may have to fight down a little. But just do it, man.

Allen and his team have got to know this, right? Call somebody out.. Anybody. Fighting once a year is ridiculous.

That's some weird revisionist history of the KZ fight it was a back and forth 2/2 going into the fifth round.

Yair is Mexican. Puzzle solved. They want that market.

Allen trains in Montreal. Does he even live in the UK at all? There are quite a few popular UK fighters. If there weren’t it would probably be a different story. But you have to see the whole picture.

To be honest and I've been saying this for a while now, Volk beat up past prime Aldo and Mendes, I mean really damaged goods. Then Ortega didn't earn a title shot (won 1 fight after taking a thrashing for the title vs Max) and then post prime Korean Zombie was given a title shot on short notice off name recognition. The only real accomplishment Volk has in terms of greatness is besting Max Holloway 3-0 but you know, the best guys at 145lbs in the UFC right now besides Volk and Max are easily Allen, Evloev and Topuria...he didn't clean out shit. Even Yair vs Emmett is a deserved but unimpressive title challenger.

PS: A lot of the best FWs in the world aren't in the UFC Patricio Freire, Salahdine Parnasse, Islam Omarov, Alikhan Suleymanov, Timur Khizriev are all up there, up there. (Among others) wish the UFC cared enough to sign some of these big hitters.
 
He deserves the shot, he has a decent resume and i think could give volk a run for his money.
