I‘ll allow it.

Shame, as just a main event with these 2 it's alright. but not like good. But if they were to fight on the same card as moicano vs BSD would really make help make for an overall card line up to be really looking forward too.

It's a good fight and makes sense. I'd favor Imavov to keep the fight standing and pick allen apart on the feet, but Allen is extremely dangerous on the mat, so I wouldn't be surprised if he can snatch something up. I agree that it would really help the paris card. Too bad allen only wants a main event.

 

[RockyLockridge]

gonna pick allen.

both of these fighters are fighters I always pick against. Allen has surprised me more times than Imavov.

IMO it's a more meritted Main event than BSD vs Moicano. BSD vs Moicano is a great Co-Main.

Allen vs Imavov being a 5 round fight feels much more pivtol for both right now. It's a bigger fight for allen than his last one which was ment to be vettori. Personally I think a 5 round fight favors allen big time, so that's another reason I could seen him ask for it.

 

[ricains_cretins]

This guy has a chin.

 

[Gabe]

Good fight. Allen didn’t look all that impressive against Curtis so I’ll go Imavov.

Allen & Imavov might be higher ranked in their division but BSD vs Moicano is a much more exciting fight on paper, it makes sense why UFC would prefer that as a main event.

So Allen doesn't wanna get out of the Apex. Because that's the only place he got main events.

Plus BSD vs. Moicano probably doesn't even go past round 3. I think the ufc just likes the idea of BSD headlining the france cards because he is very popular there and he practically guarantees a great fight that will have the fans cheering.

yeah also this. It very likely ends in 2

but that fight ends in a finish almost certainly, a 5 round fight between the other two is more sensible.


Also there's no reason both can't be 5 rounds i've seen it done enough times now.

The fight outcome is irrelevant, that's like saying heavyweights should never headline because they usually don't need to go into rounds 4 & 5. If you're a promoter trying to get people's attention, BSD vs Moicano is a "sexier" fight to sell than Allen vs Imavov. It gets people talking & will get more hype than Allen vs Imavov would.

Regardless yeah I agree I'd like to see both of those fights get 5 rounds.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

So basically Allen ducked. Feed him to Cannonier then.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

He refused ? He should fuck off, can't even beat soundly a top-15 in Curtis...

 

[Brigfa2]

I don't know why but Allen always comes to me as a bum

 

[Hdfi]

I bet on Allen by sub.

 

[Safton]

As one of Allen's biggest stans... Imavov beats him, soundly. Wouldn't be surprised if he TKOs him.

 

[HCS]

That's a decent Fight Night main event, and the matchup make sense. Hopefully they make it happen.
