Dave Allen The UFC will be in the market for a new executive with recent news that Dave Allen has resigned from his position as UFC Senior Vice President and General Manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa. The news, first announced by Fighters Only , was confirmed to MMAjunkie by UFC officials. The Dublin-born Allen was picked to head the EMEA division in January after previously holding a spot with the UFC as director of events, marketing and communications for EMEA. Prior to his time with the UFC, Allen held positions with Adidas, Nike and UMBRO. Allen’s departure comes as a surprise to most, having had success in a number of markets and seeming bullish on the UFC’s future in the regions. After UFC Fight Night 69 in Berlin this past Saturday — an event which saw a UFC women’s title defended on European soil for the first time — Allen seemed bullish on the company’s future in Europe.
