You’re not getting dricus right now
Nice pfp
Barely beats Chris Curtis and wants a title shot lmao
@@spencer9488 yeah like dricus is somekind of mastermind... the odds would be like 3.5x allen dricus 1.7x probably those pretty normal odds to a titlefight.
@@spencer9488 tbh chris curtis would be very bad matchup to dricus.
not forget it was short notice fight for allen
Calling out the champ after scraping past Curtis
Probably because of how high he is ranked
@@samlegrand17imagine being ranked so high after beating Craig Jones and Curtis
@@WRNWRW yeah cause Craig Jones and Curtis are championship worthy fighters
@@roidster4401Who told you that?😂
@@WRNWRW he climbed a little fast for sure, but if that’s the number next to your name you’re stupid not to call for the money fight.
No case for Ddp😂 bro is a Apex fighter . Fight a top 10 you'll get smoked
Says the guy in the CZcams comments, lmao. I don't think you are a good judge for that. It's hilarious to see clowns online act like experts on what these guys can or can't do.
@@theglobegamer8749What the fuck are you yappin about 😂😂😂
Thats what I thought. Nevermind this troll. I thought Curtis was ranked like 14 lol
Let Fluffy Hernandez beat this 🤡again
Allen went five rounds to a split decision and he’s comparing himself to Islam’s fight with Greene? Delusional.
Super delusional. If you can baaaarley beat a Chris Curtis you will never be champ
@@LemonTerps at least you admit he won. Speaking of delusional..
@@paulkruger491 what's so delusional that I said
Chris Curtis rocked this guy the whole fight. Landed massive body shots throughout. Head kicks. Punches straight to the face. He made a better statement for fighting Dricus Du Plessis than the ‘winner’ even did lol. This guy ain’t DDP’s best rn
The body shots yes Curtis landed but Brendan arguably landed better straights and head kicks! Stats were pretty close every round aswell I had it 2-2 into the 5th and Brendan clearly won 5
Yep. How about that poker face he gave bisping putting him on spot questioning his interviewer to try to get him to agree to that decision bisping definitely wasn’t going to agree to that one he’s got dignity.
Your lost. Another Allen hater. He’s won 7 in a row. Haters fuel him. So keep hatin and denying this guys come up. He won this fight. Period.
@@Marshrat69 ya boy was gassed out in the second round bad and he couldn’t stand up at points in the fight bro these are the facts
@@LINY94xo gassed out and went five? That makes zero sense.
Brother stick to the apex..you went life or death with curtis and think you can run over du plessis..you will get hurt real bad or retire young .
At least beat a top 10 guy before you call out the champ.
Agree. Guessing Allan has been trying but nobody will fight him.
He need one more top 5, sink or swim
@@6uiti One more top 5, never had top 10. Like to see him fight Sean. Yes Sean the guy who won the belt with a jab.
He is number 6 he won the fight
@@stekla2871 which is crazy because he’s very beatable. If you can get up is game over. let’s not forget Chris didn’t have a full camp like Allen did
Brendan u need to fight atleast 1/2 more big names ( Jared, Costa, Sean ) to make a real statement for a Title Shot,
As far as u beating Dricus, that ain’t happening, Dricus either KO’s u within the 1st 2rnds or TKO’s u with G&P, because u aint out grappling/ wrestling/ submitting him,
Lastly for those who don’t know as to “Why” Brendan dislikes/hates Dricus so much, a few years back when Dricus went & trained at one of the Gyms for a few week’s in the USA, they all went out after training, Dricus noticed that Brendan has a date tattooed around his left upper chest/ shoulder, it’s Nrs/ a Date & Dricus cracked a “Joke” & asked Brendan is that yr fight record u have Tattooed 🤔😆🤣 Brendan responded & said no it’s my daughters birth date, since then he went & tattooed her name above the date 😆👍🏻Stop with the hate Brendan, u carrying this hate for all these years over a silly joke 😆🤣💪🏻
If Curtis is rocking you every round why one earth would you WANT to fight Dricus? At least top 3 for power in the division atm.
The man is living in la la land😂😂
dricus made fun of his tattoo , and he is still salty
@@6uiti That was great banter by Dricus. How Brendan is still salty about it is pretty pathetic lol
Robbery. This guy was getting rocked the whole fight
So the fight wasn't close? Because as logical people know, close fights can never be robberies. Plus, he also landed tons of good strikes, not sure what you watched lol.
This is why MMA fans are jokes
Dana needs to sort these judges out
Dana doesn't choose the judges the commission dose.
Yes he’s right it wasn’t a split, Curtis won that
No .
UFC fans are the worst, everything has to be a robbery these days just because their guy didn't win.
Fuck no
Yes
Chris Curtis lost that fight go re-watch round 5, Curtis left the Apex in a stretcher it was showed on ESPN plus
Brendan vs Cannonier Book it.
I like it. If Brendan can't take him down, its goodnight and we don't see that stupid hat for sometime, ha ha ha
Lets go Allennnnnnnnnnn! big love to curtis tho that was a war 🤙
What's cool about listening to Brendan Allen speak after beating Chris Curtis is that he clearly respects Curtis as a fighter (and did so prior, which isn't something I don't hear a lot - unless we're talking about Stephen Thompson).
And to be fair Curtis won the last time they met, so maybe a third fight is necessary though this is what you get when adults fight, as opposed to the insecure 'I'm the best in the world' - type nonsense.
And speaking of 'I'm the best in the world' Brendan Allen said exactly that though considering who won the first fight, you well know that there's a part of him that doesn't believe it.
He is a big guy, but his attitude is so friggin timid. Hearing him talk, it seems he is thinking "Hey I'm lucky to be safe and win a split decision which maybe I lost. And because it is customary to call out the champion let me call out DDP".
I disagree. He's stands on business and "sure" we can criticize his performance, I would have to rewatch the fight myself to see if his not a split decision holds water but he's had appropriate composure and confidence, just he says himself, someone that "believes themselves to be the best in the world, a champion". He backs himself and again, it'll be worth a rewatch but as most of thought/"know" he was hurt, he claims he was faking being hurt, which, at least he didn't get finished/made the full 5 rounds. He got back 1 out of 2 of losses, I know he's calling for the champ, but maybe another rematch with his other lost (bc that person also wants a rematch/another shot at the champ), him vs Sean would be good and winner gets a shot at the belt
(Though now to think about, definitely gets in a weird time line of if Rob vs Khamzat gets the next shot after presumingly DDP vs Izzy or if Rob/Khamzat needs one more win, then winner of Allen/Sean would be the perfect final contender match up
That performance is not going to get him to be world champion.. 😂
I really like Brenda Allen. Great fighter but I gave that one to Curtis. He was the best fighter last night.
When Brandon watches this fight he’ll even think he lost bro was rocked so bad he doesn’t remember
He was definitely rocked, but he also landed very good strikes. Curtis clearly has the most power, but it was close.
Is it just me or thus kid is just delusional.. askingba title shit after Curtis gave him this ru. For his money.. like really ?
You have to be delusional to a certain extent. Self believe is more than half the battle.
All the damage came from Curtis, had Allen almost out multiple times. Curtis won that fight
Love this guy and Curtis .. what an amazing fight .. i enjoyed every moment.
All the respect, give both of them a good paycheck and a good upcoming fight ..
He needs to fight vettori and win if he wants a title shot
Nah he needs to fight somebody like jared or sean
Vettori at best only extends his win doesn’t get him a title shot he needs to at the very least fight cannonier to earn a title shot
He’s above Vettori at this point. Vettori has like 1 win in the past 3 years lol.
@@Kimura1313 yeah against dolidze and most people think he got robbed bad
@@iknowilookdumbwhenisaythis5593 exactly. Let’s let Allen go forward
That fight was fucking sick, massive respect for both of those guys they went to WAR
this dude fought to the death tonight he dont stand a chance with anyone in the top 5 rn
Agree 100%. Good fighter but not top 5.
it was short notice fight for allen not forget
People don't realize Chris Curtis has like 17 koes on his record
Sorry man but you were lying on the floor in the 5th hardly a case for a title fight.
Cannonier and Allen...thats a fight!!!
When they announced the judges names I recognized the third judges name from a bad call had a feeling the third judge would fix it and sure enough there goes my boy Chris fighting his heart out to not even get the draw to give it to Allen’s a joke. I think the judge had it 29-26 for Allen like yeah Okay what a fix !
Cope and seethe you black supremacist
This is MMA not boxing. Why didn't Chirs Curtis do any ground & pound when the opportunities were there? It would've made all the difference. I know they're friends but all the hugging in between rounds was unnecessary.
Fight could've ended in the first round if he went for the ground and pound
Its nearly impossible for a guy like chris curtis to ground and pound a jiu jitsu guy as high level as allen
@@imadedmeme3742 Allen was very hurt though especially in the late rounds when he got knocked down. jujutsu goes out the window when someone like Chris Curtis is standing on top of you raining punches to your head while you are already hurt
@@ninja_rampage he wasnt rocked tho, when allen was on his back it was because curtis escaped, its hard as fuck to land ground and pound past the guard of a high level jiu jitsu guy, if it was easy charles oliveria would have got koed via GNP 3/4 title fights
@@imadedmeme3742 Yeah I don't know... I just feel like there were a lot of occasions in the fight where Curtis could've done a lot of damage but instead he just let Allen recover and get up
Calling for a title fight after fighting CHRIS CURTIS is the funniest thing ever
Not even close he could BARELY survive a Chris Curtis lmfao
Fluffy Hernandez vs Allen would be a great fight next for Brendan two guys on a similar win streak with same age and style and skill set that would be an exciting fight .
Can you book Omos vs Big Show in MMA?
lol is this the kid that stated he will crush ddp and poatan????????? lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. curtis got robbed
Even he knew he lost that
Facts and then has the arrogance and Idiocracy to call for the champ, Brendan needs to fight a top 10 first and actually win. Brendan is a terrible human being and an even worse fighter
This dude lost and dricus embarasses him
Allen should fight Vettori or Strickland next, if he wins then he gets a title shot
Curtis won the fight
He looked great but he lost
Trying to take a dog fight to Dricus will end in tears!!!
That’s a call out
Allen is like 4 fighters dropping out away from fighting DDP next
Made a case like the Menendez brothers' trial lawyer made a case.
CURTIS WON THAT FIGHT
No
@@DevoteeofThunorpaddy pimblet lost to jared gordon you casual
Chris Curtis lost that fight go re-watch round 5, Curtis left the Apex in a stretcher it was showed on ESPN plus
No he didn’t. You obviously don’t know fighting
@@noelbgood8845 CURTIS WON THAT FIGHT
He's right, it wasn't a split. He lost.
Crazy seeing all the people talkin shit about Brendan here just cause he had a hard fight with Chris. I’m 100% positive if it had been Marvin, Brendan woulda beat the shit out of him. And that’s your top 5 opponent
This kid could be the dark horse of the division but needs to use fight IQ better. People need to realize that this kid lacked good 5 round experience and his body language at times was terrible but the kid could learn from this. Anyway, we need more grapplers at middleweight.
He is terrible, dricus sleeps him
What? He barely won with short notice old ass Curt
I can totaly see, the mum is spoiling his daughter and doesn`t set boundaries, he would never do that. 😂😂😂
Never beat anyone in the top 10. Does not deserve it yet. In truth good fighter, but not a top 3 fighter. When he fought Jacob Malkoun, he got so lucky it was unreal. Still shocked the judges give it to Allan.
Vettori would have dismantled this guy
I love Brendan but i dont think he won this fight, Chris was rocking him in every round and made Brendan look stupid at times with those desperate takedown attempts, even tried to pull guard, didnt look like he wanted to be there.. There's something super strange about Brendan's personality when he fights, its like he's trying to be a Kevin holland character at times with smack talking and at the same time trying to be friendly and loving, he was talking to Chris all the time while getting rocked and giving him compliments and shit, it was simply weird behaviour
Allen landed some shots. Go look at the punch stats, it was close. In addition to that, Allen took Curtis down at least 6 times. Everytime Curtis reversed, he never capitalized. If he did, then maybe it would have made a difference. I had Allen winning the fight. He didn't just take him down but threatened submissions as well.
lol he lost that 3-2 rounds, bro calling out after beating a ranked 14 on short notice and is calling for a title shot he is a straight up clown
Chris Curtis lost that fight go re-watch round 5, Curtis left the Apex in a stretcher it was showed on ESPN plus
@@drakeshotplays3 rounds to 2 even if he left on stretcher, it happens to winners too
Give him a title fight, easy title defense For DDP
Fluffy vs Allen next
amazing fight, but I think if Curtis' hamstring didn't go out on him he would have won that fight.
robbery
Rebook him vs Vettori
This guy is not ready for the top 5 in the division. To call out DDP is delusion at its most audacious best
Wtf is up with the ufc letting fighters wear stupid hats and costumes to press conferences
I hope at least this gets him out of apex
This man is delusional. Take him to the dr he is concussed. He did not have the cleaner shots! He did not win.
Brendan is a boring fighter. As soon as the fight went to the ground i could take a toilet brake. Chris saved the fight not him.
Who ever
Dricus smokes this fool
This dude is delusional.
Wasn't Chris only ranked like 14? This guy is asking for a title shot? He is delusional!
Rankings don’t matter you casual. Curtis is elite
@@Makula-px8fr yeah you're right Curits should be champion he's that good.....
Couldnt convincingly beat an average boxer 😅 fair play to Curtis he gave a good fight but these guys are levels below top top of the division.
Give this guy Vettori or Costa and he is mincemeat
Dricus manhandles him
Brendan should've kicked and wrestled more, it was dumb af to box with a guy like Curtis. Barely got a W.
If bro thinks that should have been unanimous for himself, he should go to concussion protocol…. Dude is mad corny.
Curtis won
Chris Curtis lost that fight go re-watch round 5, Curtis left the Apex in a stretcher it was showed on ESPN plus
I like this guy. This was a good test. Chris Curtis is really good and could be a contender at welterweight but, he's undersized for middleweight. Brendan Allen is the best grappler at this weight class and is showing he's getting better at striking.
So much RESPECT for this dude!
Happy for this guy
You don’t have the following because you do dumb shit like calling for a title shot after arguably losing to Chris Curtis. And then to top it off you say the fight wasn’t close.
I want to like Brendan Allen, but every-time I start rooting for him, he says dumb shit which puts me off of being a fan.
Islam destroyed Bobby Green, you barely survived
Hahahaahha. That is a very good point
Hahahahhaha that is a very good point
Brendan won that fight.
Michael Chandler does what he is told....Ha!

She's Sassy. I think She gets it from her mom. haha spoken like a dad. I like to throw in and she got it from her mom but he didnt wanna upset the inlaws i suppose
😅 12:08 😂
Tq Rick
Grea5 fight
Another favored and delusional fighter managed by Ali...
Allen’s take downs in the first couple rounds were impressive even when he was hurt he got to the back fast but he didn’t do anything with the takedowns. Chris got got back up and wobbled him more and gassed him out with the body shots and Chris started stuffing his TDs easy. Chris was only hurt at the last second just like O’Malley in his last fight and shouldn’t dictate the rest of the fight. Chris won that.
Haters. Dude has won 7 in a row and yall still crying and won’t give him credit. Say what you want. He can win the strap tomorrow and yall still crying about how he’s not good hahaha this is the ufc. They are all here for a reason.
Yes..any hardcore knows you have to be legit to win 7 in a row
6 in a row. Curtis was robbed here
All outside the top 10
@@timw4432cry me a river
He is never winning any strap I guarantee it, dricus destroys this dude
It was a great fight,it was clearly UD 48-47 Allen.Both came to fight and it was great.On Allen's defense,Curtis has no fucking neck to choke lol.
I’m sure Allen does not give a shit what any of you haters have to say! Until you tough guys get your ass in there and do what they do especially at that level just do what you do best just sit there and watch!
i dont have to get into the octagon to see that he lost.. it is what it is
@@cristianchavez1699Chris Curtis lost that fight go re-watch round 5, Curtis left the Apex in a stretcher it was showed on ESPN plus
Dricus sleeps Allen in 1 round
He ain't gonna sleep with you bro , let it go
And I dont give a shit about your opinion..
That was a boring fight.
You’re out of pocket for that line.
Overrated guy
Never beat a top 10 guy
He reminds me of sterling because they don't have a chin
And just want your back
This guy stinks lol give the ork king!!
Love Allen, definitely won
Chris Curtis got cheated by them judges
This man is a joke the top 5 washes him lol😂
So let me get this right , Allen is a joke you say? So what does that make you? I mean your thumbing a key pad for Christ sake talking shit about a man who fights for a living! Why don’t you go show Allen how much of a joke he is? Just saying!🤷🏼♂️
@@rayburnwill what the fuck are talking about, the man's profession is being a fighter of course he beats an average bloke like me what I was saying is that he is a joke to the top 5 as a matter of fact what top 10 opponent did he beat again to be ranked #6
Facts.
Bots??
@@6uiti no Allen is just a schmuck. Nobody likes him.
lose the hat Davey Crocket, or maybe join WWE
Islam did get a title shot after beating Bobby green
But islam is a good fighter and dominate every opponent this kid is a decision machine and delusional
Because everyone else was ducking him he had a fight with Dariush booked then he pulled out not Islam's fault
That’s because everyone was ducking him. Nobody ducking Brendan Allen g
It is not his division. MW has at least 4 other guys ahead of him in terms of merit and class. Islam did not.

You're basing that claim off a split decision win over a short notice replacement rank 14 opponent that he only beat due to his opponents injury in the final round??
