In a deep middleweight division, Saturday's UFC Fight Night main event between Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan stands as a fight that will keep the winner in the hunt for a future title shot. Allen sits fourth in the UFC's official media rankings and is riding a three-fight winning streak since back-to-back losses to Nassourdine Imavov and Anthony Hernandez. Since those losses, Allen has picked up wins over Marvin Vettori, Reinier de Ridder and Edmen Shahbazyan.
While Allen is a top contender in the division, he's stuck in a sort of limbo, which is on display with this matchup, where he's fighting Duncan, the No. 10-ranked fighter in the division. . Duncan for no additional fee -- every UFC numbered event and UFC Fight Night is included with your subscription! Plans start as low as $8.99/month or $89.99/year!
While Duncan ranks lower than Allen, he is riding his own impressive streak, having won five consecutive fights. Duncan's most recent win was arguably the most impressive of his UFC run, taking a decision over iron-tough veteran Jared Cannonier in July. Duncan's UFC record sits at an impressive 8-2.
