#4. Arnold Allen
Of all the seasoned fighters who have yet to taste defeat in the UFC, Allen might be the most underrated. 8-0 in the organization, Allen is welcoming Dan Hooker back to featherweight in what should be an exciting display of martial arts.
Trending
Under the tutelage of Firas Zahabi, Allen fights out of Tristar Gym, which has produced champions such as Georges St-Pierre and Rory MacDonald. With an incredible team backing him, it's no wonder that Allen is as technical as he is. 'Almighty' hasn't been fairly inactive, having only one fight per year since 2015 with the exclusion of 2019, which saw two Allen fights.
Inactivity has led to Allen being overlooked, but the featherweight division would be foolish to write him off. The 28-year-old has proven himself to be gritty and savvy -- his bout against former Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez truly highlights these attributes.
The company continues to pair Hooker with difficult tasks. And with him may being the most threatening opponent Allen has faced, this bout could really be eye-opening for fans and fighters alike on what 'Almighty' is made of.
#3. Sean Brady
Not only undefeated in the UFC, but in all MMA competitions, it's a mystery how Sean Brady isn't talked about much. Brady recently beat Michael Chiesa and defeated grappling superstar Craig Jones in a jiu jitsu event.
A 5-0 stint in the promotion has seen Brady impose his will on anyone he fights. A tight squeeze and suffocating pressure has proven to be a successful stretegy 15 times out of 15 for the Philadephian. It's hard to imagine that Brady wouldn't be fighting upwards in the rankings for his next few fights.
Welterweight is currently one of the most stacked divisions in the UFC, so it's hard for an up-and-comer to shine in a division steeped in stardom. The performances speak for Brady, however. A top-five fight to headline a Fight Night could be in the future for Brady.
