UFC Vegas 122.

Brendan Allen targets sustained pressure
Allen is on a three-fight winning streak and welcomes the chance to
extend it against an aggressive opponent.
“I love guys that want to come kill,” Allen said in a pre-fight
interview. “But the question with him is, are you willing to be
killed? I am. I’m willing to be killed. That’s just how I fight.
That’s all I know how to do. When those lights come on, and they
say, ‘Are you ready? Are you ready?’ That’s all I know how to do is
just go try to kill.”
Duncan is riding a five-fight winning streak but has never reached
a fourth round in his professional career. Allen, who has competed
in several bouts scheduled for five rounds, believes the momentum
will swing in his favor as the fight progresses.
“But I build as the fight goes on and he does not build as the
fight goes on,” Allen added.
„I know he wants to do damage… I’m willing
to kill or be killed.“ Brendan
