Top middleweight contenders Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis will share the cage for a second time just over two years after the first meeting in the main event of UFC Vegas 90.
Despite losing the first matchup, Allen (23-5, 11-2 in UFC) will be the last fighter to walk out on April 6 as the favorite and higher-ranked contender. Since losing to Curtis in 2021, Allen has won six straight with five coming by rear-naked choke submission.
Stepping in as a short-notice replacement for Marvin Vettori, Curtis (31-10, 5-2 in UFC) has seen up-and-down results since the first fight and has largely stayed in the back end of the top 15 rankings.
