UFC featherweight Arnold Allen disagrees with the end result of UFC 284. Islam Makhachev retained his lightweight title over featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski by unanimous decision.
During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Allen said he thought Volkanovski did enough to claim double champion status. Despite the loss, Arnold praised Volkanovski for his showing and how he handled his loss in Perth, Australia.
“I scored it for Volk. Rounds two, three and five,” Allen said. “He’s inspirational. Everything he does is what you want to see in your champion… The things he says after about not being afraid to fail, going out there and taking the opportunity. Yeah, you can not respect that guy.”
Allen also said that he believes there should be a rematch between Volkanovski and Makhachev for the lightweight title. If Volkanovski does win a rematch, Allen believes he’ll stay at lightweight.
The 29-year-old is scheduled to fight Max Holloway at UFC Fight Night on April 15. Holloway is a former UFC featherweight champion. He won the interim belt in December 2016 and went on to unify it against José Aldo at UFC 212. He defended the title three times before dropping it to current champion Volkanovski.
Allen is on a 12-fight unbeaten streak dating back to August 2014. He last defeated Calvin Kattar by TKO last October. He also has wins over Dan Hooker, Sodiq Yussuff, and Gilbert Melendez.
The England native spoke about Holloway and the damage he’s gained over his fighting career.
“He’s only human right? The damage has got to catch up to you. He’s not much older than me but he has been in a lot of crazy fights against top-tier athletes and he’s given a lot of damage but he always takes as much as gives as well,” Arnold said. “What you’re expecting from me is probably what I’m going to say. I’m expecting the best version, I’m preparing for the best, [and] I’m training for the best.”

Former undisputed UFC featherweight champion, Max Holloway is slated to make his Octagon comeback atop a ‘Fight NIght’ billed card on April 15. – drawing surging Ipswitch native, Arnold Allen over the course of five rounds in a potential title-eliminator.
Holloway, a former undisputed featherweight champion and the current #1 ranked featherweight contender, suffered a one-sided unanimous decision loss to current undisputed titleholder, Alexander Volkanovski back in July of last year in the co-main event of UFC 276.
Allen, the current #4 rated challenger headlined UFC Vegas 63 back in October of last year against common-foe, Calvin Kattar – captilizing on the latter suffering a knee injury to land a second round TKO victory. ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto confirmed Max Holloway’s return against Arnold Allen.
“The return of Blessed,” Okamoto tweeted. “And a big one for Arnold Allen. Per sources, UFC is finalizing Holloway vs. Allen to headline a Fight Night on April 15.”
Seeing his two-fight winning run halted in his trilogy fight with Volkanovski back in July of last year, Max Holloway had previously landed back-to-back unanimous decision wins over the aforenoted, Kattar, and incoming UFC 284 co-headliner and interim title challenger, Yair Rodriguez most recently, back in November 2021.
Winning featherweight spoils in a title unification knockout win over Jose Aldo back in 2017, Holloway would land successful title defenses against the Brazilian, Brian Ortega, and former lightweight titleholder, Frankie Edgar.
Riding an impressive winning spree of 10 straight fights in the UFC, Allen, who boasts an impressive 19-1 professional record, holds Octagon victories over the likes of Mads Burnell, Gilbert Melendez, Nik Lentz, Sodiq Yusuff, Dan Hooker, and the aforenoted, Kattar.
An official location, venue, or billing for the UFC Fight Night event on April 15. has yet to be determined at the time of publication.

UFC featherweight contender Arnold Allen is targeting a high-profile matchup with Max Holloway after missing out on the interim title fight.
Allen is coming off the biggest win of his career, that unfortunately lost some of its shine due to the nature of the finish. The surging Brit took on Calvin Kattar in the main event of UFC Vegas 63. Whilst the first round was a relatively dominant display for Allen, Kattar would blow his knee out with seconds to go. Whilst the Boston native did manage to survive to round 2, one leg kick from Allen would be all that was needed to see the Englishman claim a TKO victory.
Regardless of the result, the fight still marked Allen’s 12th consecutive win, which one would presume to be enough to see him fight for the interim title. However, the UFC have since announced that Josh Emmett and Yair Rodriguez will face off for the interim belt. Allen has every reason to feel aggrieved at this news, considering Rodriguez is on a one-fight winning streak, with that lone victory coming over Brian Ortega via round 1 shoulder injury.
Speaking on ‘Abz Talks,’ Arnold Allen addressed the title snub, stating:
“I was a little bit surprised. I thought I was in just with the win streak on its own. I know the last fight wasn’t ideal, but I thought when you put the nine-fight winning streak without the last one, that was more than worthy than either of what those guys have done at the minute.“
“My whole career has kind of been like this. It’s a blessing in disguise and my goal is never to be interim champion. I want to be the champion, so it would have been nice to be a part of that. But yeah – always work for something better.” (H/T MMA Insight)
The 28-year-old is now targeting a fight against former champ and current No.1 contender Max Holloway. ‘Blessed’ is such a big name that a win over him may be as good as winning the interim strap.
“A lot of people are saying Max is the fight to make,” Allen said. “That would be a fun one. I don’t see why not. And also, I think a win over him would be a bigger statement, and then you throw your interim in the bin, right?”
Arnold Allen vs. Max Holloway does seem to be the most logical fight to make. With Volkanovski fighting for the lightweight title, Rodriguez and Emmett facing off for the interim belt and Brian Ortega out injured, there really aren’t any other matchups for either man to take right now.
With rumors surrounding a PPV card in the UK continuing to circulate, this fight could be an excellent addition to the main card.
