Arnold Allen thought his resume warranted an interim title fight. But instead, the promotion decided to go in a different direction by matching up Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett for an interim featherweight title fight at UFC 284 on Feb. 11 in Perth, Australia. Allen (17-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) extended his winning streak to 10 when he scored a TKO win over Calvin Kattar at UFC Fight Night 213. He admits that the win due to a Kattar knee injury may have been anticlimactic, but he sees his prior work having a better argument for a title fight than Rodriguez or Emmett.
