UFC star Arnold Allen has jokingly called for an 'injurim' featherweight title fight with Yair Rodriguez after the pair both recently picked up freak wins.
Allen, 28, extended his unbeaten run in the UFC to 10 fights last weekend when he defeated Calvin Kattar in Las Vegas, who was unable to continue after suffering a knee injury in the second round. It's a similar ending to Rodriguez's last fight as Brian Ortega suffered a shoulder injury in their fight and Allen has now called for a 'injurim' title fight between the pair following their freak wins.
"I saw something about me being ranked fourth now, so I'd like to be fighting for the interim title in the next six to eight months," Allen said. "A couple of guys are ranked above me, Yair Rodriguez has put his name firmly in the hat for the interim. [Josh] Emmett and [Max] Holloway as well, but I don't think they'd put Holloway in for the interim. If there's going to be an interim title, I want to be one half of it so that's the goal.
