Arnold Allen previews his upcoming clash against Max Holloway at UFC Kansas City
Arnold Allen's bout with Max Holloway on April 15, 2023, at UFC Kansas City, will be the toughest test of his career. The British MMA star considers Holloway a more dangerous opponent than Yair Rodriguez, the current interim champion, and is making every effort to win the forthcoming bout.
Holloway is widely regarded as one of the most exciting combatants in the UFC. 'Blessed' has earned a formidable reputation as a fighter, yet he has taken significant damage in the many battles he has engaged in over the years.
Arnold Allen, in a recent interview with Morning Kombat, discussed the impact the cumulative damage will have on the upcoming clash on UFC Kansas City:
“He [ Max Holloway] is great. His mileage is going to catch up. It doesn’t matter how old you are. If you have 20 fights, when every fight is a back-and-forth, 50-50 war... Even when he’s been very dominant, he’s taken a lot of shots. The miles have got to add up."
