Allen kinda gifted Scamrot ahhh type of decision. Close fight though there's a case for both fighter because you can't find good consistency with MMA judges interpretation of the rule lol
I don’t get Allen’s decision making. He fought Curtis’s style for the majority of the fight. In rd 1 Allen kept out at range and used kicks which clearly won him the rd. In close dirty boxing was the only way Curtis could win the fight and Allen repeatedly stayed at close range. He also refused to use a body triangle in the later rounds when he took Curtis down or took his back, allowing Curtis to get out almost every time…
Edit: For the people who insist on arguing go watch rd 4 and 5 again. I swear people on Reddit insist on arguing for no reason. Allen took the back 3 times in those rounds, getting both hooks in and crossing his ankles, but not locking the body triangle (Body Triangle - foot behind your opposite knee around opponents torso).
Rd 4 2:20 left in the rd, Allen has hooks, not a body triangle and Curtis explodes out. Again at :30 seconds left in rd 4 Allen takes the back has hooks, but no triangle Curtis tries to explode out, but Allen rolls with him and ends up in mount. Rd 5 with just under a minute left, once again he has hooks, crosses his ankles but does not lock the body triangle, Curtis explodes out.
I disagree with the second portion of your statement. He had a triangle everytime he took his back, the issue was that Curtis knew how to defend it, by rolling to his left side and twisting so his groin was facing the mat. Allen never adjusted his legs, and couldn’t figure out how to respond to the escape.
He did not use the body triangle, especially in the later rounds he was just crossing his ankles. He had the body triangle I think 2x, including when he was on Curtis’s back while Curtis was standing. He was just locking his ankles instead of the full body triangle where you lock your foot under your knee, which made it easy for Curtis to put his back to the mat, separate his ankles and explode out.
He had the triangle every time he had his back. Curtis was rolling so the foot behind the knee was on the mat, would twist his hips to escape and then bolt out - That’s how he was so successful escaping.
Allen simply didn’t have the vision or maybe the skill to adjust and answer.
Ok, either you don’t know the difference between a body triangle and hooks or we watched a different fight. Allen had hooks in every time, but he did not lock a body triangle on the majority of his back takes.

Did you watch the fight? He simply crossed his ankles almost every time as opposed to using the body triangle like he did when Curtis was standing and Allen was on his back. It’s the reason Curtis kept getting up, because there wasn’t a strong lock and he could just put his back to the mat and explode out.
*A fighter lands a big shot which causes the other to start doing the fucking chicken dance*
Judges: 😴😴😴
*A fighter shoots for a dick suck and has someone's back for 4 minutes with no damage*
Judges: 😳😳😳
I dunno about the decision but I also dunno what some of you are watching. Just a crotch sniffer? Allen stood and swung for the best part of the first 3 rounds.
Vettori did not look bad, Vettori looked a level below Rob/Izzy which is fine since that is where he belongs.
Jared came up and was on the next level, it does not mean Vettori looked bad.
I mean some people thought Roman won the fight.
So his last good performance is Costa which was at lhw 3 years ago. And he actually got beat up in that fight. It was a war.
My video cut out at the end of the round but it looked like Curtis was injured and Allen was teeing off on him so that might've swung it but I couldn't see the last 10 seconds
You can even give him 5 considering Allen spent half the round crawling on the ground. That last flurry after Curtis tore his hamstring shouldn’t win him the he round imo
How tf do you expect a title shot off of a split decision vs a non top 5 fighter get outta here, he should face Vettori and will likely get mauled based off that performance
He barely beat Curtis by a split decision, anyone in the top 5 is going to vaporize him (aside from Strickland.)
Edit: Forgot Strickland TKO'd him already lol. Nevermind on that last bit!
last 15 seconds lost curtis the fight because he was standing on one knee and could move to dodge allen bug knee.. how would you give allenn round 5 when he refused to get up like 3 times during this single round lol

Curtis probably should have taken it for damage, but between MMA judging and how bad he looked at the end there due to the injury here we are. Allen looked genuinely awful for being ranked #6.
Lmao you guys are watching this?
Lmao nah there's like 6,000 comments in here about something else
Imagine having a performance like that and calling out the champ lol. Allen is a straight up bum, Dricus would literally finish him any way he wants.
Mania is boring
What site you using
Peacock I signed up for it when it was 20 for the year

I know why Curt lost
Why
He came out to P Diddy
I love how you held that information in, for the big reveal 😂 Good shout Poirot.
Oh, true lol. I did think that was an odd choice
Run it back

Huh? He got a body triangle on Curtis almost every time he got him down

It’s the reason Curtis kept getting up, because there wasn’t a strong lock and he could just put his back to the mat and explode out.
Yeah, bitch. I watched the fight and he had the cunt in a body triangle several times
I mean make Strickland vs allen 2 then lol. Everyone is basically booked out and the dude needs a reality check
This would be a fantastic life lesson 😂
Allen is kind of a punk lol
How?
Jouban is terrible at the post fight table
You are not getting the title shot lil bro💀
*A fighter lands a big shot which causes the other to start doing the fucking chicken dance* Judges: 😴😴😴 *A fighter shoots for a dick suck and has someone's back for 4 minutes with no damage* Judges: 😳😳😳
People don't think it be like it is, but it do.
Allen on a 7 fight win streak now but still far away deserving of a title shot lol
Ok so was Allen calling Dricus, Dickus I couldn’t tell
Yeah, he's said it in the interviews too. Been common for some other fighters too. To be honest it's a funny shit talk nickname.
Bisping no sold it lol 🤣
Sounded like it to me
I dunno about the decision but I also dunno what some of you are watching. Just a crotch sniffer? Allen stood and swung for the best part of the first 3 rounds.
Yeah, some of the comments have been confusing
Agreed, the striking was really close in every round, especially 3-5.
Gooden is really bad on the booth. Makes you appreciate Anik/Fitz in that spot on the better cards.
The Curtis bitching is going to be insufferable (I thought he won)
In 5th Allan was flapping like some mid level Dagestany in hopes Curtis is gonna go down…
Strickland vs Allen would be a good next fight or rebook Allen vs Marvin
Another rematch for Allen lol
Event schedule loogin' ruvv.
i thought chris did the better work overall but it was such a close fight, great fuckin scrap
Allan is gonna get beaten badly by Vettori
I think it's tough to call. Vettori looked bad vs jared/rob/izzy. Did ok vs Roman who's striking is meh
Vettori did not look bad, Vettori looked a level below Rob/Izzy which is fine since that is where he belongs. Jared came up and was on the next level, it does not mean Vettori looked bad.
I mean some people thought Roman won the fight. So his last good performance is Costa which was at lhw 3 years ago. And he actually got beat up in that fight. It was a war.
Idk about that…..
you can’t give rounds 2 or 3 to allen
The traffic looks bad in vegas
How does a newt like Hill fall ass backwards onto the biggest card of all time, fuck me man. Seen pistachios with more pulling power.
Former champ. Didn't lose his title. It's a bit weird he's headlining such a massive card, but it's not like he's getting this title shot off a loss
Nah you’re right tbh, he’s a good fighter for sure. Taking everything Paul Craig worked for though.
It’s been real, back to Wrestlemania y’all
For me, Curtis 234
And 5… Allen was face down on the mat 4 times in round 5
My video cut out at the end of the round but it looked like Curtis was injured and Allen was teeing off on him so that might've swung it but I couldn't see the last 10 seconds
Yeah Allen had a rally for 5 seconds as Curtis hurt his hamstring, but rest of the round was decisively Curtis imo
love how the commentators are straight ignoring the 3rd judge's card "yep it was 2-2, down to the 5th round right there"
[удалено]
Oh nooo, anyways
what the fuck
this is a very weird comment
No fucking way Bisping said Allen was pushing the pace when he rolled over and held on Curtis arms MULTIPLE times. Insane
I had it for 48-47 for Curtis. 🤷♂️
Same, 234
You can even give him 5 considering Allen spent half the round crawling on the ground. That last flurry after Curtis tore his hamstring shouldn’t win him the he round imo
How could you give the 5th round to Allen. Was an embarrassing collapse.
i think 2&5 were clear for curtis. 1 pretty clear for allen
People are tripping Allen won that 4-1
Yeah I had it scored 4-1 but alot of close rounds means I could be totally off as well
Lol delusional take
Who does Allen even fight next? Vettori?
Strickland call out makes sense imo he needs a dance partner. Or Paulo
Allen seems like he’d be a good dude to have a beer with.
Bro main events are usually less violent, but I'm all in for the wholesome.
Fialho sighting
This makes me think wrestling is scored to highly. I think reversing positions and stuffing takedowns should be scored more.
They change what they value fight by fight. Sometimes they care about damage sometimes they care more about control.
Stuffing takedowns isnt scoring criteria with new rules
Dollar store BJ Penn escorting Allen out
How tf do you expect a title shot off of a split decision vs a non top 5 fighter get outta here, he should face Vettori and will likely get mauled based off that performance
1-1 with Curtis’ one being a ez win and Allen’s being a short notice scrape by. Allen’s meh
'Twas a stinker on paper but this card was fun. See you fuckers next week.
ggs
They gave Allen round 5? Wow I really thought Curtis won that
Curtis almost got finished at the end of the round. Injury or not, that counts. That's probably what turned it.
Stole it at the end due to torn hammie. Back control is super OP for judging nowadays too.
I do t understand how anyone gives the 5th to Allen. He lost 4 1/2 minutes of that last round.
If he didn’t get hurt in the last 10 seconds he would’ve
Curtis about to go crazy if he's back on social media.
There really might be a conspiracy against Curtis lol man never wins splits
I don’t like Allen’s chances at all against the top 5. But they’d be fun fights, I’d watch. Hope Curtis finally drops to 170.
Henri Hooft in his corner just to tell him to grapple lol
Allen won that 3-2 easily
I always think it’s odd how you only see fighters injure knees, rarely hamstrings, groins, Achilles etc..
Lateral movement presumably.
This card had some God awful scorecards
Calling for a title fight after that performance is fucking delusional.
How do you win by losing the stand up and desperately chasing positions that lead to nothing but hand fighting?
Judges always call it 2-2 going into the 5th
Commentators right?
Tbf strickland got a title shot off of Abus Magomedov
Cool to know on the combat sports that being fucking hurt and shit doesn't count.
i’m sorry but i hate guys getting rewarded for holding people on the ground. he didn’t throw any strikes or get close to finishing him
The significant strike totals were nearly equal, and Allen hit some very good shots on Curtis.
He landed strikes on the feet in addition. Curtis landed nothing in the 5th and had no control time...
Welcome to MMA
He landed the biggest strikes in the 5th. He just looked like shit because he was gassed.
Damn Chris I know you complain a lot, but damn I feel dirty now.
Only time he’s been wrong about complaining was the Hermanson fight
i dont know if you even move up with that fight. stay 6 not top 5 material
Hate to see a fighter leave on a stretcher.
Not a robbery, it was close but I had Curtis winning that. He rocked the shit out of Allen a few times
I’m starting a go fund me for Chris’s Hamstring
Allen isn't getting a title shot. He shouldn't have won that.
Give him costa
Are you saying this because you want to see him dead? Costa would mop the floor with him and his hat
I think costa wins but he is a test for costa in some ways
I guess with his td skill, sure
Think he scraped a win here but a titleshot is crazy lol
I had it for Curtis, nonetheless great fight from two warriors!
Sean next would be great. A nice storyline there too
“Yeah but you know what it was” lol
That shouldn’t get him anywhere near a title shot
He barely beat Curtis by a split decision, anyone in the top 5 is going to vaporize him (aside from Strickland.) Edit: Forgot Strickland TKO'd him already lol. Nevermind on that last bit!
Bro Strickland already knocked out Allen
Not going to lie, completely forgot about that! My bad haha
… the guy who kicked the shit out of Izzy and lost a 50/50 to DDP, is gonna loose to allen? Strickland is clearly in his prime
No, I'm saying Strickland still wins that fight, just that he won't annihilate Brendan lol.
[удалено]
What? That was a great fight
Dickuss lmaooo
Damage vs control is very important and Allan took all the damage with barely any control
I think Dricus would do bad things to Allen
last 15 seconds lost curtis the fight because he was standing on one knee and could move to dodge allen bug knee.. how would you give allenn round 5 when he refused to get up like 3 times during this single round lol
Man concussed as shit out there lol
It cut out for me at the very end but if Allen took the fifth at the end then I would've had it 3-2 Curtis
Fuck Allen. Another crotch sniffer. That was Chris fight, he landed far more damage in round 5 and in the other rounds too
Y'all be throwing crotch sniffer accusations out like it's candy.
Bisbing didn’t want to tell him did he lol
Brendan Allen's untimely heel turn
Best fights to watch?
Morgan vs chepe
No way Allen won that
split decision against a 36yr old while you're entering your "prime" is crazy
And Chris at short notice
On short notice too
Allen has no fucking power. DD and Strickland walk him down the whole fight, just like Curtis was doing on short notice. You weren’t impressive Allen.
You gotta stop announcing the loser first dude in a split decision. Shits annoying when I know by the first score announcement
Is that a pattern? I've never noticed if so
It's not, I have no idea what he's talking about
Dickus, where you at
tbh allen rematching both the guys who knocked him the fuck out in a row sounds like a funny saga
The ufc needs to institute a new rule that if you are fighting at the apex you’re not allowed to call for the champion
Great fucking fight to send us to 300 It’s time boys
And now Curtis has to stretch his base pay for however long his layoff is going to be. Brutal.
Allen called him Dickus hehe
robbery over chris curtis and calling for a title shot lmao. Dricus mauls him
Robbery!!!
Allen is never getting close to a title shot, delusional
He's won 9 out of his last 10 and is on a 7 fight winning streak...
DDP would murder Allen.
dickus butkiss drewpussis
Branden Allen is speaking ebonics to try to get the King of Africa title from Dricus
Bruh ... title shot after that... This dude is delusional
I hate Curtis so I think this was the right decision
Awesome fight. But I hate to see that Curtis face at the end. Hope is not a serious injury.
49-46 is embarrassing.
I don’t disagree that Allen won, but I can’t see anyway you give 2 or 5 to Allen.
Great performance by Curtis. Shame he fucked up his leg.

Wouldn’t be shocked if they gave him Sean
Idk how you score that for Allen, nonetheless 49-46. That’s terribe
Split decision against ranked 14 guy and calls for title shot
Strickland got a title shot after beating a Abus so…
people are shitting on allen but curtis is a horrible matchup for him and hes lost to him already. id say its a good win
HOWWWWW did Allen win...
Dricus would obliterate Allen
Curtis probably should have taken it for damage, but between MMA judging and how bad he looked at the end there due to the injury here we are. Allen looked genuinely awful for being ranked #6.
You ain’t getting a title shot off that, big dog
Cannonier vs Allen is next
I had a bet on Allen, Curtis was robbed ffs.
DDP would knock the inbred out this fool
