Brendan Allen Is Hunting Reinier de Ridder’s Ranking

Middleweight contender Brendan Allen knows what’s at stake as he gets set to take on Reinier de Ridder at UFC Vancouver, and he’s ready to take it all.

Allen agreed to step in on short notice to replace Anthony Hernandez against de Ridder, who hasn’t lost a fight in the UFC since his arrival on the big stage less than a year ago. Since then, the Dutchman has won four straight to put himself fourth in the official UFC middleweight rankings.

Allen has every intention of stepping into the Octagon and stealing that ranking spot away.
