UFC featherweight contender Arnold Allen has used UK prime minister Rishi Sunak in a clever piece of promotion on Twitter. Allen posted an edited picture of Sunak wearing the fighter's 'Almighty' t-shirt.
Allen took to trolling Sunak on Twitter following his appointment as the UK's prime minister. 'Almighty' has complained to the politician online about fixing potholes outside his house, as well as threatening to leave a bad Google review for Sunak and his administration if the featherweight's girlfriend isn't granted a visa.
Arnold Allen tweeted:
"Fair play @RishiSunak you may deport my missus but you look the bollocks in your #Almighty shirt!, click the link to order yours, restocking shortly and will have 3xls in!"

Arnold Allen employed a similar piece of Photoshop editing when he gave a shout out to Wesley Snipes' character from 'Blade'. Allen tweeted:
"Thanks Blade for getting yourself an Almighty t shirt, its probably the best shirt to kill weird raving vampires in.. Click the link to get yours!"
The surging UFC contender currently stocks t-shirts and beanies with the 'Almighty' print on the front, which fans can find at www.almightymerch.shop.
Arnold Allen and Max Holloway scheduled for epic UFC featherweight clash
Arnold Allen and former champion Max Holloway are scheduled to headline the UFC Fight Night set for April 15, as per a recent announcement.
'Almighty' is one of the most promising title contenders at 145lbs and currently holds a promotional record of 10-0. Allen's most recent bout ended disappointingly when Calvin Kattar tore his ACL in the first round at UFC Fight Night 213, causing the fight to be stopped early in round two.
Before that fight, the No.4-ranked featherweight put on the performance of his career against Dan Hooker, where he demolished the Kiwi halfway through the first round.
Touted as a future champion by Michael Bisping, Arnold Allen will take on the former champion Max Holloway in an exciting clash.
Allen took to Twitter to announce the matchup and once again used Photoshop to promote his merchandise at the same time:
"A true gent of the sport, thanks for repping brother!, click the link to order yours!"
