David, we hardly knew ye'...
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) senior vice president and general manager of Europe, Middle East, and Africa, David Allen, has resigned from the ZUFFA-owned mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion after just six months on the job, citing "personal reasons."
The Irish-native took over for Garry Cook in January, who was promoted to UFC Chief Global Officer. Under Allen's watch, the promotion held a stadium show in Stockholm, Sweden, which is the second-biggest show in UFC history, a successful debut event in Krakow, Poland, and another show in Berlin. The next "EMEA" event is scheduled for July 18 in Glasgow, Scotland, which sold out in minutes.
