Brendan Allen vs Chris Curtis Prediction: Who will be stronger?

On the night of April 7, Moscow time, the UFC Vegas 90 tournament will take place in the United States, the main event of which will be a rematch between two American fighters - Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis.

Before becoming a professional MMA fighter, Brendan Allen had success in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and even won the IMMAF championship. He has transferred his skills to mixed martial arts as well - he tends to dominate in the parterre, and wins most often with submissions.

Allen has currently a streak of six straight wins, five of them by submissions, and in his last fight he forced a knockout of Paul Craig.

In 2021, Chris Curtis beat Brendan Allen by technical knockout and that moment may have been the peak of his career. He began to alternate defeats with victories, but, however, the opposition was quite decent (Jack Hermansson, Kelvin Gastelum).

In his last fight he barely (split decision) beat Marc-Andre Barrio, but he's still capable of knocking anyone out.

Curtis' chances are purely in the standup, but the bad news for him is that the standup in this confrontation won't last long. Things are looking up for Allen to quickly move his opponent down and quickly choke him out. Chris Curtis' best years are somewhere behind him and it will be difficult for him to defend against the takedowns and submissions.
