  • Arnold Allen is the number four-ranked UFC Featherweight contender.
  • Allen holds an MMA record of 19 wins and two losses.
  • Allen is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Movsar Evloev at UFC 297.

After another setback from his young career under the Las Vegas-based promotion, who is next for the “Almighty”? Here are the potential next opponents for Allen.
