Arnold Allen plans on sending message to top-5 with win over Sodiq Yusuff at UFC Vegas 23

After nearly 15 months on the sidelines, Arnold Allen is ready to pick up right where he left off in the UFC’s featherweight division.

Allen will face current surging top-15 contender Sodiq Yusuff on Saturday in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 23 at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. The 145-pound matchup airs on ABC.

“Almighty” enters the contest on an impressive nine-fight winning streak, which includes a perfect 7-0 start to his UFC career, which is currently the second longest promotional winning streak in the featherweight division behind champion Alexander Volkanovski.
