Quick read
Brendan Allen addressed Sean Strickland's ringside heckling during his recent fight with Shakhbazyan, saying he fired back at Strickland with an insult mid-bout. Allen argued that Strickland sacrificed one of his fighters in a tactical gambit that failed. Reflecting on their 2020 bout — a second-round TKO loss for Allen — he emphasized how much he has grown, noting 12 wins since then including victories over De Ridder, Vettori, Curtis, and Craig. Allen also compared Strickland to Edmen Shahbazyan, calling Edmen a faster, sharper, more technically refined version of Strickland.
