This is the UFC Vegas 23 live blog for Arnold Allen vs. Sodiq Yusuff, the featherweight co-headliner for Saturday’s fight card at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
The matchup pits two 145-pound fighters who are undefeated in the octagon and need to go through each other in order to face marquee opposition.
Allen brings the longer UFC winning streak to the table, having defeated seven consecutive opponents and nine including bouts outside the octagon. The 23-year-old Brit hasn’t lost a fight since 2014 and most recently outpointed veteran Nik Lentz, though he hasn’t fought in 15 months.
