Arnold Allen calls for rematch with Sean Strickland after latest win

Arnold Allen is seeking a rematch against UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland after his victory over Edmen Shahbazyan at UFC Fight Night 278. Allen's win, marking his third consecutive victory, maintains his position in the division's top five. He expressed confidence in his ability to defeat Strickland, noting their previous fight in 2020, which ended Allen's seven-fight winning streak. Should Strickland not be available, Allen is open to fighting Nassourdine Imavov or the winner of the Kamaru Usman vs. Dricus du Plessis bout scheduled for October.
