The
Ultimate Fighting Championship returns this week to the UFC
Apex with an intriguing featherweight clash between two
entertaining contenders.

The five-round main event between Calvin
Kattar and Arnold
Allen is now official after both weighed under the
featherweight limit. Nearly all fighters on the 11-fight card
managed to make weight. However, Joshua
Weems came in 3.5 pounds over the bantamweight limit and has
been fined a percentage of his purse.
This marks the fifth straight main event for Kattar (23-6), who has
become very accustomed to going five rounds. „The Boston Finisher“
hasn’t lived up to his nickname in these fights, though, as all
four went to a decision. Kattar is looking to bounce back from a
split decision defeat to Josh Emmett
and officially weighed 146 pounds on the dot.
Meanwhile, this is the first UFC main event for Allen (18-1), who
is undefeated inside the Octagon. The English fighter is riding an
impressive 11-fight win streak with nine of those wins coming
inside the UFC. Most recently, „Almighty“ knocked out Dan Hooker
and took a three-round decision over Sodiq
Yusuff to solidify himself as a contender. Allen stepped on the
scale weighing 145.5 for the biggest fight of his career.
UFC Fight Night 213 will stream in its entirety on ESPN+. Prelims
begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 7
p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
