Facing Chikadze in July
Allen will take on Giga Chikadze in a featherwight bout at UFC 304 in Manchester, England on July 27, per Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Allen will take on Chikadze in a three-round battle in his home country at UFC 304 in Manchester, England. Prior to a pair of decision losses to Max Holloway and Movsar Evloev, respectively, "Almighty" Allen rode a 10-fight win streak dating back to his UFC debut in 2015. The five-foot-eight Englishman will hope to use the home crowd's energy to get back to his winning ways against the larger Georgian.

Hangs tough in decision loss
Allen lost to Movsar Evloev via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 297 on Saturday in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
No one can ever say Allen ducks difficult opposition. Fresh off a lopsided unanimous decision defeat to Max Holloway, Arnold was tasked with another extremely difficult matchup here against the undefeated Evloev. All things considered, Allen fought pretty well. He more than held his own on the feet, and while he did give up a handful of takedowns, Arnold made sure Evloev didn't end up in a truly dominant position for an extended period of time. Set to turn 30 years of age in two days, Allen is in trouble simply because it's very difficult to overcome back-to-back defeats in a loaded featherweight division, but it's clear he has the skills to hang with some of the best in the world at 145 pounds.

Evloev fight targeted
A featherweight fight between Allen and Movsar Evloev is being targeted for UFC 297 expected to take place at Toronto in January, according to MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Currently, the UFC is working on an Allen-Evloev fight for the company's first pay-per-view of 2024, even though the location of said PPV has not been determined yet. If this fight comes to fruition, Allen will try to redeem himself after suffering a decision defeat to Max Holloway at UFC on ESPN 44.

Valiant effort in main event loss
Allen lost to Max Holloway via unanimous decision (46-49, 46-49, 47-48) at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
It's not the result Allen was hoping for, but he showed darn well against one of the best featherweights of all time. Arnold appeared to be one of the few 145-pounders with the ability to nearly match the pace of Holloway. His best round was certainly the second, but Allen also emptied the gas tank in the final frame, at least giving him a chance of pulling the upset. Most everyone that came before him was either too tired or too beat up to make sort of significant run at that stage of the bout. Allen is technical, has power, is deceptively athletic and incredibly durable, giving him an extremely bright future despite this setback. The defeat snaps Allen's 10-fight winning streak to begin this UFC run and is his first loss of any kind dating back to June 2014. He'll be back

Fight with Holloway on tap
Allen (19-1-0) is scheduled to face Max Holloway (23-7-0) in a featherweight bout as part of the UFC's Fight Night event on April 15, Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Allen had been expected to be included on the card for UFC 286 in London on March 18, but his return to the Octagon will be pushed back another month while he manages a rib injury. The extra time should provide ample recovery for Allen while he puts his unblemished 10-0-0 UFC record on the line against Holloway, who is coming off a loss to reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski last July. Aside from his three career losses to Volkanovski, Holloway has asserted himself as the second-best featherweight fighter in the world with a perfect 16-0-0 record against non-Volkanovski competitors from the 145-pound division.
