UFC free fight: Brendan Allen dominates, then submits Paul Craig to win Performance of the Night

LAS VEGAS – Brendan Allen’s most recent UFC win was an impressive one.

Back in November, in the main event of UFC Fight Night 232, Allen put the middleweight division on notice by dominating and then submitting veteran and standout grappler Paul Craig. The victory put Allen on a six-fight winning streak that includes five finishes and earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.

You can watch Allen’s impressive submission finish in the video above.

Allen (23-5 MMA, 11-2 UFC) returns to the octagon this Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 240, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He will face Chris Curtis (31-10 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in a rematch from a 2021 meet that ended with Curtis stopping Allen by TKO in the second round.
