Brendan Allen: After I win at UFC on ABC 5, ‘I ain’t fighting down no more’

Brendan Allen UFC ABC 5 UFC on ABC 5 Bruno Silva MMA Junkie

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Up until now, it’s mostly been about dates, not opponents, for rising middleweight contender Brendan Allen.

“I’m the kind of guy that kind of set my schedule to where it’s the timeline I kind of want to fight on,” Allen told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a UFC on ABC 5 news conference Wednesday. “It’s never exact, because the UFC is going to tell you exactly when you’re going to fight. But I kind of have my typical month. I have everything mapped out to where I want to fight there (and) I kind of need to fight there, so no matter what, I’m going to fight there.”

Allen (21-5 MMA, 9-2 UFC) fights Bruno Silva (23-8 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at Saturday’s event. The card takes place at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena with the main card airing on ABC after prelims on ESPN/ESPN+.
