The first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) pay-per-view (PPV) of 2024 is pinning down its first big fight.
A pivotal Featherweight contender clash between top-ranked competitors, Arnold Allen (19-2), and the undefeated Movsar Evloev (17-0), is in the works for UFC 297 on Jan. 20, 2024, according to the Twitter account, judobetter995. MMA Fighting has since confirmed the report, adding that the event is being looked at for Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The event is currently the furthest out on UFC’s schedule.
For England’s Allen, the match up would act as the first rebound attempt of his UFC career, suffering a hard-fought unanimous decision loss to Max Holloway in April 2023. The loss snapped “Almighty’s” 10-fight winning streak within the promotion (12 overall).
