Brendan Allen explains why he was ‘super disappointed’ by his performance at UFC 275

SINGAPORE – Middleweight Brendan Allen emerged victorious at UFC 275, but he wasn’t at all pleased with his performance.

Entering Singapore Indoor Stadium looking to remain in the win column after a second-round submission win over Sam Alvey, Allen (19-5 MMA, 7-2 UFC) took on Jacob Malkoun on the prelims of the pay-per-view event. While he accomplished his goal of defeating Malkoun (6-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC), Allen wasn’t exactly pleased with how he performed in the unanimous decision victory.

“I’m super disappointed,” Allen told reporters during the post-fight news conference. “I’m disappointed for the fans. I come to fight, I always come to fight. I think we can show from what I was doing or trying to do. Obviously, I was too complacent in the second, I just kind of laid there and hit him a lot from the bottom, but he wasn’t doing nothing. I don’t think I have a mark on my face. I don’t feel anything. He wasn’t doing nothing but holding and this is a fight.
