Brendan Allen: Beating Marvin Vettori gets me UFC title shot or, ‘worst case scenario, a true No. 1 contender fight’

Brendan Allen believes he’s closing in on a title shot, and depending on how things go in his next fight, he might just get one.

Scheduled to fight long-time contender Marvin Vettori, Allen is confident a win can get him a chance to fight for the UFC middleweight belt or, at worst, another fight to then determine the next challenger. Allen (23-5 MMA, 11-2 UFC) and Vettori (19-6-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) are set to headline a UFC Fight Night on April 6 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Arguably Allen’s biggest test to date, he believes there’s a lot on the line.
