The UFC has always been home to some of the world’s most outspoken athletes, and since the rise of Conor McGregor a decade ago, even less charismatic fighters are now trying their best to talk trash.Despite the fact that trash-talking is clearly now en vogue in the UFC, there are still a number of high-level fighters who prefer to keep quiet – letting their fists do the talking for them in the octagon.UFC@ufcOH MY GOSH!!! @VicenteLuqueMMA just reversed it on him! #UFC26504:33 AM · Aug 8, 20214131624OH MY GOSH!!! 😱 @VicenteLuqueMMA just reversed it on him! #UFC265 https://t.co/JTBj7W3j47Does their reluctance to brag on the microphone hold these fighters back in the eyes of the fans or the promotion itself? It’s arguable. However, when they step into the cage, there’s no disputing that they’re usually must-see attractions anyway.Here are five current UFC stars who prefer to let their fighting do the talking:#5. Arnold Allen – UFC featherweight contenderArnold Allen has claimed he just wants to be the best fighter, not the most famousWhen Arnold Allen defeated Dan Hooker in impressive fashion at the UFC’s Fight Night event in London in March, his performance hardly came as a surprise to hardcore fans of MMA. After all, ‘Almighty’ had already defeated the likes of Sodiq Yusuff and Gilbert Melendez and looked like one of the best prospects in the featherweight division.ESPN MMA@espnmmaAllen stunned Hooker then went OFF #UFCLondon10:13 PM · Mar 19, 20223123398Allen stunned Hooker then went OFF 😤 #UFCLondon https://t.co/d3W64rNx30However, more fair-weather fans probably didn’t see this breakout performance coming at all – perhaps because the native of the UK has simply never been a big trash-talker despite his excellent abilities in the octagon.This lack of natural charisma and ability on the microphone could explain why, before his bout with Hooker, any main card spotlight had been hard to come by for ‘Almighty’. Allen is currently riding a nine-fight win streak, but just three of those wins came in feature bouts.It’s unlikely that Allen’s avoidance of trash talk will change in the near future, too. Prior to his most recent visit to the octagon, ‘Almighty’ stated his goals for the future – and they were notably humble compared to some of his peers.In Allen’s words, he wants to be the best fighter in the world – but he’s not willing to “call people names over the internet” to get there, and he “doesn’t necessarily want the fame that comes with being the best.”Whether this stands in the way of Allen’s climb to the top is probably a fair question to ask in the current climate, but if he continues to defeat opponents as he did to Hooker, then even his silent approach probably won’t stop him.
