Brendan Allen targets title shot, eyes Nassourdine Imavov as backup

Brendan Allen is pursuing a UFC middleweight title fight as his primary goal but has outlined a clear alternative path if that match cannot be made. Allen is calling for a bout with Nassourdine Imavov or, if Imavov continues to wait, a fight in October or November against the winner of the Usman–DDP matchup.
