Fight Preview
UFC 297’s main card features many intriguing fights, including an exciting featherweight match-up between fringe contenders Arnold Allen and Movsar Evloev that could prove exciting. Here is a unique perspective of this clash that promises an entertaining outcome.
An unusual story in mixed martial arts, this fight between two fighters who met as children at summer camp is now one of the most talked-about bouts on UFC 297 card.
In this fight, it appears to be an extremely close match that will go to the judges for final decisions. Allen is an exceptional striker and possesses tremendous power in his hands; however, his defensive wrestling is lacking. On the other hand, Evloev boasts a solid ground game; though not an exciting fighter himself, Evloev knows how to finish opponents quickly with four submission victories under his belt and this will provide him an opportunity to showcase that side of his game.
Both fighters have previously been on the verge of title contention, and a win here could propel them back into title contention. Allen recently suffered an upset loss to Max Holloway but could reclaim his spot among the Top 5 fighters at 145 pounds with a victory here.
Evloev stands unbeaten as a professional. He’s been taken down only twice during his UFC tenure – both times coming against hard-hitting Mike Grundy – with Holloway moving to lightweight as the target opponent and an Evloev victory likely leading to title shots for both fighters. He’s battled some of the hardest opponents that the category has to offer, and he frequently has trouble finding an opponent who is willing to fight. In his last 3 fights, Evloev has won by unanimous decision; most recently, he defeated Diego Lopes, who was on the rise. If he wins here, he will have a lot more momentum in the standings.
