Arnold Allen suffered a setback in his UFC title hopes as the Brit lost a decision to former champion Max Holloway in Kansas City.
The fight started and Allen attacked the legs of Holloway straight away, with an accidental groin strike from the Brit briefly halting the action. Holloway started to find his rhythm and was putting together some sharp combinations, but the counter left hand for Allen was finding a home.
Allen had a better second round as his counter left hand continued to land but Holloway's chin refused to crack as the Hawaiian was seemingly unfazed by the big shots. The third round was evenly contested until Holloway started landing some big strikes in the final minute, doubling up with a body kick and connecting with a perfectly-placed spinning back-fist.
