Brendan Allen scorches UFC rankings panel: ‘I’d literally tell them to go f*ck themselves’

Ahead of his co-main event return tomorrow at UFC Fight Night Paris, middleweight contender, Brendan Allen has voiced his displeasure with the promotion’s ranking panels, taking umbrage with his spot in the official stack ahead of his return against Nassourdine Imavov.

Allen, the current number eight ranked middleweight challenger, most recently landed a split decision win over Chris Curtis in a rescheduled main event fight back in April — in the pair’s rematch, which saw Brendan Allen improve his unbeaten run to an impressive seven straight fights.

Brendan Allen rips into UFC rankings panel ahead of Nassourdine Imavov clash in Paris

And putting that spree on the line against the above-mentioned Imavov this weekend — who is fresh from a main event knockout win over former title challenger, Jared Cannonier in Louisville earlier this annum, despite likely competing for a spot within the middleweight top-5 in France, Allen is more than unhappy with his place in the rankings.
