Brendan Allen not interested in staying at light heavyweight: ‘I still have business to come at 185’

LAS VEGAS – Brendan Allen has no interest in light heavyweight.

The 26-year-old made his 205-pound debut Saturday on the main card of UFC Fight Night 200. Allen (18-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC) took the fight on short notice and submitted Sam Alvey, sending Alvey to 0-7-1 his past eight fights.

Alvey was originally scheduled to fight Ian Heinisch at middleweight, but was then given Allen after injuries saw Heinisch and replacement Phil Hawes forced out of the event.
