"He seems to be the last one available" - Brendan Allen names Sean Strickland as next potential opponent after UFC Vegas 90 

Brendan Allen has his sights set on a rematch with former middleweight champion Sean Strickland following his upcoming fight at UFC Vegas 90.

Allen and Strickland first met in the octagon back in 2020, with Strickland emerging victorious via. TKO. Since then, Allen has put together a dominant run and is currently on an impressive fight-win streak, most of them by submission. This impressive streak has him calling for a second chance against 'Tarzan'.

Appearing in an interview with The Schmo, 'All In' said:

"Man, you never know, the way the division is, the way the landscape is, it's hard to tell but hopefully, you know, I can get Sean [Strickland] after this. He seems to be the last one available. So yeah, If I can't get the champion then Sean [Strickland] is hopefully what I'm after."

Currently ranked No.6 in the middleweight division, Allen believes he can overcome his previous loss to Strickland.

Standing in Allen's way this weekend is Chris Curtis in a rematch of their 2021 encounter. A win over Curtis would further solidify Allen's position as a top contender and put him in prime position to challenge Strickland, who currently sits at No.1 in the division rankings.
