Brendan Allen Achieves the Most Important Victory of His Career at UFC Fight Night<\/h2>\n\nBrendan Allen, a prominent middleweight fighter in the UFC, secured the most significant victory of his career on Saturday, stopping Reinier de Ridder in the fourth round during the UFC Fight Night event held in Vancouver.\n\nDespite accepting the fight with little preparation time, Allen (26-7) fulfilled his promise to defeat de Ridder (21-3). He managed to wear down his opponent on the mat, forcing his corner to throw in the towel between the fourth and fifth rounds.\n\nThis result ended de Ridder’s four-fight winning streak in the UFC, which began last November. Initially, de Ridder was scheduled to face Anthony Hernandez, but Allen stepped in after Hernandez withdrew due to an injury.\n\n\n

It feels good to do exactly what I said I would do. This was for me after 3.5 weeks off the couch. I told you I’m a different monster, when I have a clear head and we’re on it, I’m the best in the world.<\/p>Brendan Allen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAllen, originally from Louisiana, had a complicated start in the first round, but quickly changed the course of the fight. Although he conceded a takedown in the first round and spent a large part of the time defending submissions, he dominated the exchanges in the second, third, and fourth rounds. According to UFC statistics, Allen accumulated more than 11 minutes of control and connected 128 total strikes, compared to de Ridder’s 51.\n\nDe Ridder could barely stand at the end of the fourth round and struggled to return to his corner. Referee Jason Herzog closely examined de Ridder between rounds before his team made the decision to throw in the towel.\n\nImmediately after the fight, Allen called out UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev, as well as former champions Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland, whom he lost to in 2020.\n\n\n

Chimaev, if you want a good fighter, someone young and hungry, you got him, baby. Dricus, where are you? I’ve been trying to fight you for a minute. If not, Sean, it’s time to run it back.<\/p>Brendan Allen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAllen arrived at the main event on Saturday as the UFC’s number 9 middleweight. De Ridder was ranked number 4.\n\nIn the co-main event, Canadian welterweight Mike Malott (13-2-1) secured a notable victory over Kevin Holland (28-15) by decision.\n\nAiemann Zahabi (14-2) continued to climb the bantamweight rankings with a decision victory over former champion Marlon Vera (23-11-1) by split decision.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
