Two UFC unbeaten featherweights will square off this October in a key meeting of top prospects, as Arnold Allen battles Mirsad Bektic.
Bektic (10-0) is a perfect 3-0 with the UFC, scoring wins over Chas Skelly, Paul Redmond and Lucas Martins. He will be returning from a 16-month layoff to face Allen (11-1).
The Brit has picked up wins in both of his Octagon appearances, as the 22-year-old bested Alan Omer and Yaotzin Meza.
UFC 204 takes place October 8 from Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. Dan Henderson challenges Michael Bisping for the middleweight title in the main event. The rest of the card includes Vitor Belfort-Gegard Mousasi, Jimi Manuwa-Ovince Saint Preux and Stefan Struve-Ruslan Magomedov.
