Arnold Allen says it’s hard to say who deserves interim title fight: ‘Everyone’s getting dodgy wins’

Arnold Allen thinks his UFC Fight Night 213 win over Calvin Kattar provided no clarification in the featherweight title picture.

LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Arnold Allen[/autotag] thinks his UFC Fight Night 213 win over Calvin Kattar provided no clarification in the title picture.

Allen (17-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) defeated Kattar by TKO in their featherweight main event at the UFC Apex. Although he looked good in Round 1, it was a Kattar knee injury that led to the fight-ending sequence quickly into Round 2.

Yair Rodriguez recently earned a TKO win over Brian Ortega, also due to injury, so Allen isn’t sure who should be considered the next title challenger.

“Obviously there was the injury with Yair and Brian and then Calvin. (Josh) Emmett (vs. Kattar), it was a real close decision,” Allen told reporters at the UFC Fight Night 213 post-fight news conference. “I wanted the performance to stand out so I could actually ask (for a title shot): ‘Look, this deserves it more than that and that.’ But now I’m in the same boat. We might as well all hang out together and talk about it.”

Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski likely will chase a second belt next with a likely lightweight title fight with new champion Islam Makhachev. If that happens, Allen hopes he can be one-half of an interim title fight – but against whom is the question he’s pondering.

“I don’t have an opinion on it,” Allen said. “Everyone’s getting dodgy wins and weird things. It’s hard to say who deserves it. I don’t know. Whoever.”

UFC Fight Night 213 results: Calvin Kattar knee injury gives Arnold Allen TKO win

Calvin Kattar was unable to continue against Arnold Allen after injuring his knee in the UFC Fight Night 213 main event in Las Vegas.

[autotag]Calvin Kattar[/autotag] was unable to continue against [autotag]Arnold Allen[/autotag] after injuring his knee at UFC Fight Night 213.

Allen (17-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) defeated Kattar (23-7 MMA, 7-5 UFC) by TKO just 8 seconds into Round 2 of their featherweight main event at the UFC Apex. Kattar injured his knee at the end of Round 1. He tried to fight in the second, but stumbled early and referee Herb Dean waved things off..

Round 1 was a feeling-out process to start. Allen landed a couple of low kicks, while Kattar pumped out his jab. Kattar landed with a one-two combo, but Allen fired back with a left cross. Allen blitzed in with a combo of his own, tagging Kattar with a few clean shots. Allen started finding a home for his left hand. Kattar went for a jumping knee, but landed awkwardly and blew his right knee out. Allen jumped on for an anaconda choke, but Kattar survived the round.

Before Round 2 started, the cageside physician checked on Kattar, who said he was good to go. But just seconds later, Allen landed a calf kick to Kattar’s left leg, and Kattar immediately fell when he was unable to put any weight on the injured right leg.

Allen remained unbeaten in the UFC. He took the microphone post-fight and asked for an interim title shot since UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is preparing to chase a second belt in the weight class above.
