Mixed Martial Arts Weekend Watch & Bet

Match information

Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis came face-to-face at the conclusion of the UFC Vegas 90 weigh ins earlier today, just one day in front of their middleweight main event on ESPN+, scheduled for Sat., April 6, 2024 from inside the promotion’s APEX facility in Las Vegas. Allen was originally scheduled to fight No. 5-ranked Marvin Vettori, who was replaced by Curtis after “The Italian Dream” went down with an undisclosed injury. “If I beat Chris on Saturday, I’m still going to be No. 5 next week,” Allen told reporters at the UFC Vegas 90 media day (watch it here). “You shouldn’t be able to stay where you’re at after being out for so long and then pulling out of fights. Other than that, I don’t really care. I’m going to move up. I’m going to go up and it’s old news from there. You could have fought me last year. You could’ve fought me this weekend. So, kind of see you later, buddy.” Curtis defeated Allen by technical knockout at UFC Vegas 44.
