Brendan Allen is not mincing his phrases after pulling off a short-notice upset win in opposition to Reinier de Ridder … telling TMZ Sports activities his opponent’s crew wasn’t accountable for calling it quits, however the fighter himself!!
We chopped it up with Allen following his large efficiency at UFC Vancouver over the weekend … which ended when RDR didn’t reply the bell to begin the fifth spherical.
Allen stated he watched again the second RDR’s nook threw within the towel … and whereas Reinier’s coaches swore it was their name, he had a special view.
“It was something to the fact, ‘Are you okay, are you okay to keep going,’ or something like that,” he stated. “And he said, ‘No.’ They said, ‘Are you done?’ He said, ‘Yes.'”
“It had nothing to do with his coaches. It had nothing to do with his corner. He quit. They asked him the two questions. He said ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ Again, it was in a different language. I just watched and heard the translation for what it was.”
Both means, Allen obtained the W, leaving the fifth-ranked UFC middleweight with loads of choices for his subsequent struggle. So, who does he need subsequent??
As a lot as he would love a shot in opposition to Khamzat Chimaev for the middleweight title … he is aware of he needs to be lifelike.
“For me, the best-case scenario would probably be Dricus [Du Plessis] in April, I would assume,” Allen stated. “March, April, May, somewhere around there, that’s the best-case scenario. But if not, you know, there’s still Sean Strickland and I guess [Israel Adesanya].”
We’ll depart the matchmaking to the professionals. Within the meantime … congrats on the win, Brendan!!
