Good fight imo, toughest test yet for Allen.

 

[Dorkman]

Great test for Allen. Marvin is a solid gatekeeper to the top 5

I'm leaning Vettori here.
Allen has been super offensively dynamic recently but without the wrestling to control where this fight goes I think he losses a slow kickboxing match like Dolidze and struggles to get past the left straight of Vettori.

Vettori feels a bit hard to figure out though. His Dolidze and Cannonier fights were horrible performances that lacked any reasonable gameplanning so I wouldn't be shocked if he came into this with another Thai style ineffective (for him) leg kick fight that he losses because Allen is more than willing to blitz.

Good fight
Did Vettori become Polish though?

 

[Gabe]

Good fight. I kind of favor Allen here.

 

[Ares Black]

Vettori is Polish?

Love this fight and a great litmus test for Allen. Also very interested to see if Vettori leans more on his wrestling (which might play in to Allen's hand) after taking an all time beating from Cannonier. If Allen can get to Vettori's back, that says a lot for how is grappling translates to the top of the division.

 

[The XL]

Vettori by decision. Good fight.

 

[sph1nx]

crazy how Vettori's stocks are still high after the life beating he got from Cannonier

 

[usernamee]

lets see if that beating Cannonier gave him took a piece out of Marvin, it probably did.. lets see how visible it will be

Good fight imo, toughest test yet for Allen.

damnit that was on my ufc 300 prediction list!

I got Vettori in this one. He's hard to wrestle so you need to be extremely technical and evasive on the feet to beat him, otherwise he smothers you with his granite chin.

In the past 8 years he's only lost to Rob, Adesanya and Cannonier.

Cannonier might not fit the evasive/technical profile as much as the other 2, but he has power.

I don't see Allen as evasive nor as a big power guy.

Recency bias is clouding people'a judgement

I'm All In on Brendan

 

[Poirierfan]

Allen is better everywhere except for his chin. Allen easy unless he gets caught.

The joke would be much funnier if it was true. They don't look alike

 

[Mammothman]

This should be Allen coming out party into the top 5

Vettori is Polish?
