Brendan Allen is special

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

First time in the history of MMA we have seen a fighter who has

A level striking
A level jiujitsu
A level wrestling

that's like 5 finishes in a row for Brendan Allen. Technically a decision, but he destroyed Curtis leg w the leg lock. Curtis couldn't even hobble out of the premises, They had to wheel chair him out, when they were wheeling him out, Curtis had his hand over his face, maybe to hide the fact he was crying? Absolutely brutal fight!!!!!!!

UFC needs to give this guy title fight ASAP!!!!!

Can he beat Khamzat?

 

[STRYDG]

You make it sound like he destroyed Curtis. It was a really close fight.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Is Brendan an A on the feet?

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

He’s good and fun to watch but he losses to the top guys in the division

 

[Dorkman]

He's pretty good. The curtis fight was a lot of fun. But where he kind of just limped across the line for the win it didn't really solidfy him amongst the division best 3-4 yet. I know he's calling for a title shot but I think he's going to need to fight again, and aim for a higher placed guy again. He really needs to start campaigning as soon as he can(depending on his injuries and their recovery times) for strickland. I think thats a winnable fight for him, and Sean is a marquee name now. Beating him gives you a definite in for a title shot.

Allen got tested.

No one wants to be tested by a warm Curtis winging body and head shots.

No one.

Allen won the fight.

Not much else to say. Dude can fight.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

I’ve been saying it for a while now, but yesterday’s performance actually raised more questions about him than actually answered them…

I still think he has what it takes to at least fight for a title though…

I don't see it, ge looked desperate, tired and discouraged at multiple times in the fight. Hurt every rnd and outside a freak injury never once was Curtis in any trouble.

 

[Jinx_AA]

I think he’s good enough everywhere … not amazing anywhere

For an apparent grappler , he sure got reversed and lost position way too many times for my liking… he’s a good top 10 tough fighter - but not champion material

What's freaky as in lucky about breaking another mans leg ?

Yeah he should go for a fight with Sean 100% I didn’t watch the post fight interview but he shoulda been all like “hey Sean! I’m coming for you mf! I just whooped your boy and now I’m gonna beat you worse than your daddy did!” or some cringe shit like that.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

The guy struggled mightily against a top-15 fighter, what is wrong with you ?

 

[RockyLockridge]

Especially in the 5th round Optically it looked really really bad. he looked desperate as fuck and silly sometimes falling on his face to get a takedown int he center clearly gassed.

He showed heart, I suppose. But i wasn't blown away by his skills.

 

[Your Two Braincells]

His striking is not A-Level, Imavov has A-Level Striking. He could potentially look better against a guy higher ranked than Chris Curtis, i just think Chris Curtis is a nightmare style of fighter for Brendan Allen.

I think you are special ts

I didn't watch the after fight replay, I thought he pinged his hamstring while getting back to his feet

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

I thought he pinged his hamstring while getting back to his feet

He did. Allen attempted a leglock way earlier in the fight that went nowhere. Curtis messed his leg up in the last 10 seconds of the fight scrambling to his feet.

he submitted the two best grapplers in the division already.

and in the end he exploded Curtis leg, w the leglock
