Its main event may be confirmed, but the UFC’s debut in Liverpool continues to grow its card.
Thursday, the Ultimate Fighting Championship announced that UFC Fight Night 130 would feature a featherweight contest between once-beaten British prospect Arnold Allen and scrappy Dane Mads Burnell. UFC Fight Night 130 is set for Liverpool, England’s Echo Arena on May 27. The event’s main card airs live on Fox Sports 1, with the undercard streaming live on UFC Fight Pass.
Allen, 24, has gone 3-0 under UFC employ. Since making his Octagon debut in June 2015, “The Almighty” has racked up wins over Alan Omer, Yaotzin Meza and most recently, Makwan Amirkhani at UFC Fight Night 107 a year ago in London.
