Brendan Allen Climbs the Middleweight Ladder

Brendan Allen strengthens his middleweight case with a fifth-round submission over Christian Leroy Duncan, while UFC 334 loses its Sadykhov versus Nascimento lightweight bout after injuries on both sides. Vic Mercer also breaks down PFL Africa's playoff semifinals, the UFC's newly listed Cardiff event with no announced matchup, and the major cards coming up in Chicago and Edmonton. Plus, Anthony Pettis and Donald Cerrone are set to meet again, this time in freestyle wrestling rather than the Octagon. Produced by Extra Super! BIG®.
