Brendan Allen Prepares for Key UFC Main Event Against Christian Leroy Duncan

Brendan Allen is set to compete in the main event at Meta APEX on Saturday night, marking his 20th fight in the UFC with hopes of securing a crucial victory.

The 30-year-old fighter has been on a journey of growth in the middleweight division and believes he is nearing a title shot. Despite his experience, Allen feels he has not yet reached his full potential, rating his performance as a C+ compared to a B+ or A- by others.

After experiencing setbacks with two decision losses in late 2024 and early 2025, Allen has bounced back with three consecutive wins. He will face Christian Leroy Duncan, who is on a five-fight win streak. Allen acknowledges the challenge posed by Duncan but is determined to deliver an exciting fight, emphasizing his readiness to engage in a high-pressure matchup.
