Brendan Allen’s big win: Daniel Cormier praises ‘dominant’ performance

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has praised UFC middleweight Brendan Allen for his victory over Reinier de Ridder at UFC Vancouver.

Last Saturday night, Reinier de Ridder and Brendan Allen went head to head in the main event of UFC Vancouver. While many expected RDR to get the win and secure himself a world title shot against Khamzat Chimaev, it didn’t play out like that, with Allen instead taking control of the fight before de Ridder was forced to quit on the stool.

Moving forward, Allen has certainly earned himself the right to start pushing for a championship opportunity of his own.
