The Unlikely Dominance of Arnold Allen: What It Means for the Featherweight Division The UFC's 145 pound division has been in a state of flux.
At UFC Vegas 117, the uncertainty only deepened with Melquizael Costa favored to win. However, Arnold Allen proved once again why he is one of the top contenders in the featherweight division.
Allen's victory was not without its surprises – his wrestling heavy gameplan was always possible, but few expected him to go 7 for 7 on takedown attempts against a streaking opponent like Costa.
