Chute boxe sparrings <mma2>

@Khaosan
I agree with you

Another PSA for people who have been swept up in thiz bizarre Allen hype:

Allen was taken down 7 times and controlled for 7 minutes by Jacob Malkoun not 18 months ago.

Now go ahead and slap yourself if you thought this was a competitive fight.

Shogun also went through multiple knee surgeries, a badly broken arm and fought more fights by that time... shitty comparison sir.

Khamzat nearly died and had to be coaxed out of retirement by Kadyrov (who probably threatened to kill him even harder), comparison stands.

I stand by what I said sir.

Didn't he get face planted by Chris Curtis or something.

 

[fortheo]

imo it is too early for them , Brendan is good , realy good. let him have more wins and fight for the title later on

Brendan has like 10 times the wins that khamzat has at the weight class and has been fighting professionally for almost a decade....

Good fight but no way UFC books this.

Allen doesn't have very big name value but a decent chance at beating their Abu Dhabi Golden Boy.

 

[Safwan ibn Muattal]

Allen KOs him inside 2 rounds

Malkoun doesn't gas doing that. Khamzat very well might gas after round one.

I doubt Allen wants to wait until October to fight again considering khamzats inactivity. And I'm still more interested in the Costa fight anyways.

Brendan Allen would lose to Kamaru Usman if they fought tomorrow and no one would bat an eye.

Why are people even interested in Costa, period? Dude never fights and just wastes everyone's time.

I'd like to see Costa fighting on a non-UFC card because fuck him.

@Khaosan
I agree with you

I used to think Allen was kind of a bum, but he’s really come into his own lately.

 

[Ace70 V2]

That dirt squirrel Allen has no chance. Khamzat will send him into a Cajun coffin

Dirt squirrel?

 

[Elvis.]

It’s a very interesting fight but the ufc won’t book it because it guarantees that one of their young contenders will take a loss

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

Khamzat would be the favorite, obviously.
But I like Allen chances here.
Allen have really good BJJ, so i bet Borz will do their best to keep it standing like he did against burns.
I think borz is a better striker than Allen, but he's a bit sloppy when he's boxing.

Allen best chances is to land a good counter, wobbles him then take him down and RNC.

Tbh I'll be rooting to Allen, but I think khamzat have the better chances here.
Really good figth .

Who cares? He's headlined 8 PPV's. He was the p4p #1 at one point wasn't he? Does fighting Brendan Allen after fighting Kamaru Usman make a whole lot of sense to you?

It actually does make sense to match them up. Like someone else said, Usman is a nobody at MW and was a short notice fight.

Allen is riding high and is ranked ahead of Khamzat at MW in the rankings. You know where they ranked Khamzat at MW?? #9. You know what that says? It says the UFC at the moment doesn't see or have any plans for Khamzat as a title contender at MW. They weren't sold after his last performance.

So there is no fast track for Khamzat right now and he's gonna fight someone like Allen or Costa at best.
