Rising middleweight contender Brendan Allen is one of the most talented fighters in the UFC. The former LFA champion has slowly climbed his way into the UFC rankings and established himself as a solid stakeholder.
At 28 years of age, he is one of the youngest ranked fighters that has not even hit the prime of his physical abilities. ‘All in’ has all the necessary ingredients to forge a successful title run.
Allen keeps his personal life away from the spotlight of the sports entertainment industry. Pursuing a career in an intense and highly competitive sport like MMA comes with extreme stress and having a supportive family can make the professional journey enjoyable.
Allen finds solace in a stable family life. He is married to his wife Suzette Allen. The couple have been together for over a decade. However, they have not revealed details of their wedding date to the public.
Brendan and Suzette Allen have two daughters together. Their elder daughter, Brenleigh was born on November 28, 2019. Emme, the younger daughter was born in November 2021.
Brendan Allen’s UFC career trajectory so far
Brendan Allen made his UFC debut at the young age of 23 years and has amassed an 11-2 record in the promotion. He started strong with a three-fight win streak, defeating the likes of Kevin Holland and Kyle Daukaus. Interestingly, both of his losses in the UFC came against teammates Sean Strickland and Chris Curtis by TKO.
Allen has not tasted defeat in nearly two years and he is currently riding a six-fight winning streak with five finishes. The 28-year-old handed surging Brazilian Andre Muniz his first loss under the UFC umbrella in February 2023, snapping the submission artist’s nine-fight MMA winning streak.
In his last outing, 'All In' defeated Paul Craig via third-round submission. Allen is highly praised for showing a lot of maturity for a young and still developing fighter. He displayed tremendous courage by showing the willingness to take on Khamzat Chimaev, a fighter that many ranked contenders have avoided in the past.
Allen is set to take on old foe Chris Curtis at UFC Vegas 90 on April 6. he was originally scheduled to fight former title challenger Marvin Vettori. However, Vettori pulled out of the fight in March and was replaced by Curtis. It will be interesting to see if Allen can avenge his December 2021 loss in the rematch.
