Brendan Allen eyes title fight rematch with Sean Strickland after UFC Vegas 82 win: ‘I know in my heart I’m better’

After a stellar performance by Brendan Allen at UFC Vegas 82 over the fierce Scottish warrior Paul Craig, Allen has his sights set on nothing but gold.

Now riding a six-fight winning streak, with four victories via submission, Allen has solidified himself as the middleweight division’s most fearsome contender. Even though he’s already been defeated by the middleweight champion Sean Strickland years ago, Brendan Allen feels that both of them have improved and claims that he knows in his heart that he’s “better” than Strickland.

As far as the champion goes, he’s set to defend his throne against one of the other prime contenders in the middleweight division: Dricus Du Plessis.
