News Kattar Vs Allen to Headline FN Oct 29th

[HaulParris]

Fook yeah!

 

[JoeRowe]

Where do you see where Allen is out?

He's not, yet. I just don't expect him to actually make such a quick turnaround 7 months after the Hooker fight.

I was kinda hoping for more for Allen (Kattar's great, but off a loss, while Allen is now 9-0 in the UFC), but at the same time, I guess if they push the whole narrative about how Kattar probably should have beaten Emmett, then it's big. I mean, it's most likely if Kattar did get the nod, he'd probably have been next.

Kattar is the only ranked guy willing to fight these up and comers. That's really what it comes down to.

 

[Sincere Guy]

It's Allen time. Rooting for him. And he will win.

 

[Jose Beehive]

Great matchup, another case of don't want either to lose though

Damn shame no one will. I had a pretty bad idea for fixing the booking, but doesn't really matter now.

Wonder what the this means for Emmett when Volk is likely waiting for Charles-Islam

 

[JonnyboyATL]

Took forever for them to book it. Thought it was obvious after Kattar "lost" to Emmett in June that this was the fight to make.

Card kind of stinks though...

 

[KeiranMc]

Calvin is a big step up for Allen, if Allen takes this its title shot next.

War Almighty.

 

[KeiranMc]

Also war Pacer Allen

 

[Rorschachxx]

Shoutout to Kattar for always fighting the next guy coming up.

Dude never says no.

 

[CC27]

thats a good one.

What they do with FW title they need to figure out. is yair next, is Volk going to LW, is Emmett/yair interim planned? If Volk is healthy enough to be a backup for Charles/Islam he should be defending his title vs Yair or Emmett soon instead. He's got challengers, the div isnt cleaned out and I kind of am not interested in him at LW yet.

If Allen is fighting Kattar, I gotta think Emmett vs Yair is the only thing remaining. What I'd love to see as another backup is Holloway vs Zombie (even if that doesn't really serve either of them, and could end up killing off the Zombie)

BTW... 5th headline in a row for Kattar.

Great fight. Looking forward to this main event. Allen has arrived.

He deserves them, he's a 5 round fighter.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Kattar will batter Allen don't let his last win against Hooker fool you kid has no power..

 

[jnes]

Both guys are beasts but I'm rolling with Kattar via 5 round experience.

Also Kattar beat Emmett.

 

[Blastbeat]

im thinking Kattar gets it done. Allen seems to get injured frequently outside of fights; that may play into his durability or lack thereof. plus if Kattar can survive that whirlwind of punches from Holloway and not get dropped once during his fight with Emmett, he can easily take Allen's power. I got Kattar by decision or maybe a late finish

 

[ChimRichalds]

Fuck yeah. I'm thinking Kattar by UD, should be able to grind Allen down over 5 rounds.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

It's a great fight. I expect it to be very competitive. I'll side with Kattar, but I still worry about how he'll deal with a southpaw. I just hope he remembers that he's at his best when he's pressuring and mixing things up. If he triest to just coounter box, then the fight could easily slip away from him. It will be interesting to see Allen's cardio tested, too.



I'd be shocked if Allen finishes kattar with strikes. Allen has been a decision machine in the UFC and his only tko is a standing tko against the zombified version of dan hooker. Meanwhile Kattar has fought most of the best strikers and the heaviest hitters in that division and has never been dropped.

I thought decision at first too but seeing the way he hurt Yussuf and Hooker has me thinking his fire power and timing might be enough here to be the first guy to finish Kattar. If Allen's power can't hurt Kattar like the Emmet fight I think Kattar steam rolls him, Yussuf was having tons of success but would lose rounds by getting hurt. If this becomes a technical fight like Kattar likes I think Allen struggles and gets picked apart. Kattar has been improving all aspects of his game but his defence still needs lots of improvement.
It's crazy that Kattar was eating Emmet bombs and I just think at some point his chin will crack.
