After his most recent triumph, Brendan Allen has sent a message to the current and two-time UFC middleweight champion.
Allen submitted Christian Leroy Duncan earlier tonight at UFC Vegas 122. After this late finish, during the octagon interview with Michael Bisping, Allen called out Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland. He said:
“Where’s the champion? If not, where’s dickus, you’ve been running for a little while. If not, Mike, put your belt back up.”
Check out Brendan Allen’s callout below:
Strickland is expected to defend his title against Nassourdine Imavov next. However, in the past few days, “Tarzan” has claimed the promotion has been lowballing him, and he’s not satisfied with how much they are paying him despite him being the champion.
Strickland has also said that he finds MMA training taxing, and it’s taking a toll on his body. Therefore, the American fighter wants to leave MMA behind and transition to boxing, which he believes offers better pay and is “significantly easier.”
Brendan Allen wants Sean Strickland to vacate if he’s not ready to fight
Brendan Allen, who’s now on a four-fight win streak, has a clear message for Sean Strickland if the latter wants to hold up the 185-pound division.
“All In” wants Strickland next. However, if the champ is not game to fight, Strickland should vacate per Allen so that he and Nassourdine Imavov can fight for the undisputed middleweight strap. On his way back to the dressing room after the UFC Vegas 122 win, Allen quipped:
“Aye ! Just another one. Let’s go for something bigger, fu*k…I want that f**king gold. It’s been too long. I’ve been here a long time. Sean, where the fu*k you at? And if not, go ahead and vacate and let me and Imavov get that shit.”
