The UFC action returned to the Meta APEX in Las Vegas for the latest UFC Fight Night event in Sin City, where a pair of featherweight bouts took top billing on another packed night of fights.
Here are our power rankings for the main card winners at UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Costa.
England’s Arnold Allen played a starring role in the main event as he successfully defended his ranking against the surging Melquizael Costa.
Allen delivered an all-action performance to dominate Costa en route to a landslide unanimous decision victory on the scorecards, and in doing so reminded everyone that he should still be considered among the division’s very best.
He might not be the biggest talker in the division, and he might now have a string of highlight-reel finishes. But when it comes to going out there and beating people up, there are few in the world at 145 pounds more capable than Arnold Allen, and a big fight against top five opposition is surely in his future.
“The Korean Superboy” returned to action at Meta APEX and delivered another fan-friendly performance as he stopped in-form Daniel Santos in the co-main event.
Choi seems allergic to boring fights, and he got involved in another fun scrap this weekend as he weathered Santos’ early pressure before turning the tables on “Willycat”.
Choi eventually dropped his man, then finished him to claim the 22nd win of his career, and his 14th by knockout.
It’s sad to realize that Choi has only fought four times since the end of 2019. The amount of thrilling fights he’d have given us over the last five years if he’d been active would have been remarkable. Hopefully he can stay a bit more active moving forward – there’s certainly no shortage of fun matchups available for him at featherweight.
There aren’t too many more powerful punchers, pound-for-pound, inMMA glovesthan Khaos Williams, but the challenge for the Detroit native is that his opponents all know it.
