Top UFC featherweight Arnold Allen has admitted that struggles inside and outside of the cage have dogged his preparations for his upcoming fight with Max Holloway.
The No.4-ranked 145lb fighter from Ipswich could be as close as one fight away from a world title shot at the winner of this summer's unification bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez. But speaking with Mirror Fighting just days out from his clash with legendary former champion Holloway, he admitted it has been a tough bout to prepare for.
Allen and Holloway were initially pencilled in to compete in the co-main event of Leon Edwards' trilogy with Kamaru Usman last month in London. However an injury forced the fight back by a month, with the pair now headlining a Fight Night of their own in Kansas City.
