Report: Brendan Allen to Rematch Anthony Hernandez in February

Brendan
Allen is set to trade leather against Anthony
Hernandez in February 2025.

The middleweight prospects will meet in a rematch on Feb. 22,
likely
in Seattle. The matchup was first reported by Alex Behunin.

They first met in the LFA
32 main event in 2018 where “All in” dropped a unanimous decision
against Hernandez. Hernandez (13-2) got a spot on
Dana White’s Contender Series immediately after and a
subsequent
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract. While Hernandez went
1-2 to start his UFC journey, “Fluffy” has since completely turned
his career around. Hernandez is currently on a spectacular
six-fight winning streak with five finishes, leaving behind the
likes of Marc-Andre
Barriault, Roman
Kopylov and Michel
Pereira in his wake.

Meanwhile, Allen (24-6) had to rack up a three fight winning streak
in
Legacy Fighting Alliance before he earned his DWCS shot and
subsequent UFC contract in 2019. Allen has since gone 12-3 in the
UFC, only losing against elite competition. Allen was recently
riding an impressive seven-fight winning streak which was snapped
by a unanimous decision loss against Nassourdine
Imavov in his last outing in September.
