Been a fan since his wrestling days at St. Paul and Covington high even while having to coach against him. Beast on the mat and a nice young man to talk to off the mat. He's been grinding for a lifetime and so happy for him. Give him those purple shorts!!! ⚜️💪🇺🇸

Thank both of you for that great interview. UFC delivers as always. Around 3 events per month on average, and this week we get two fighters from top 15 who will try to get closer to title fight against Sean Strickland.
As a brendan watching this interview I feel honored

Interesting interview. Best of luck to him. I hope he performs in a manner he can be proud of.

@@Lithenius to be fair he was lighting up Curtis until that happened. I know he's only been TKO'd twice, but he's been hurt in a ton of his fights, and quite possibility his ability to take a punch will be the deciding factor on how far can go.

I've been a huge fan of his since day one cuz he looks exactly like an old friend of mine. It's scary how similar they are but anyways I've always dug his style. Remember when everyone said his IQ was terrible... But. Look at him now man. I think he gives DDP a run for his money
So proud to see a fellow Louisianan make it man ! All the way from the north shore !
Brendan Allen is such an under rated fighter, this guy got crazy good skills. I am so glad for him that he figured it out because there are so many great fighters in the gym but for some reason come fight night the skills they have in the gym does not translate to the octagon on fight night and under the lights. I remember a lot of fighters use to say the samething about Islam Makhachev, although Islam was winning the fighters in his gym "AKA" were like you haven't seen anything yet and he is so much better & now we get to see how good Islam really is, I believe Brendan Allen is the same exact way because he is so good and under the lights he made some mistakes but definetly looks like he figured it out and is winning now. He is just going to keep getting better and his confidence will keep growing, Brandan Allen has the potential to be champ 1 day and looking forward to his fights and hopefully he showcases how good his skills are.

nah allen is legit. they both are. but allen is a better all round mma fighter than craig. allen is a bit of a wonderboy, super talented but his weakness is his will to prove he's tough, he wants to come off as a gangster a street thug so he tries to bang with guys like strickland and gets knocked out, tries to bang with curtis gets knocked out, he needs to be himself, a talented mma athlete not a street fighter brawler@@kuollut

I don’t think he’d win by submission. The reason I think this is because Craig is a good submission defender. The last time he got submitted was against Jed hue. Although I think Allen will be for the win by TKO.
Brendan Allen looks like Dustin Porier if he got on whatever Mcgregors been taking to change his face.
louisiana representer. dude is very underrated
How are you gonna interview him but not have Silent Bob there
This dude has a high talent. I don’t think neither of them are gonna win by submission, but I think Allen will win by TKO. The reason I say this is because Allen is a pretty good striker. Craig is not that good of a striker. Maybe the accuracy is good, but he has weak hits that Brendan can handle.
I followed his career and remember after losing his LFA title fight to Anders, the guy wanted to quit permanently. So another words he's just a big baby haha jk. I honestly didn't think he would still be fighting to this day but he was young at the time
May Allah protect every Muslim, Ameen

Strickland didn't knock the cockyness out of Allan I see , can't stand the guy's personality ' this guy couldn't tie my jujutsu black belt or this guy couldn't hold my gloves. The amount of dribble that pours out Allan's gums. I'm just hoping with age allan won't be such a tool
