Brendan Allen vs. Chris Curtis 2: 'All In' vowes to avenge past loss to 'The Action Man'

Brendan Allen is more than confident he's going to right his past wrongs and pick up the victory this weekend against Chris Curtis.

'All In' had originally been scheduled to face Marvin Vettori, but the Italian withdrew from the bout last month. Curtis then wasted no time in offering to step in, believing he'll once again walk away victorious.

Speaking to the media this week ahead of their rematch, Allen was asked for his thoughts on what it's like to prepare to fight somebody he has already faced. According to the 28-year-old, much of the preparation this time was spent on his the mental side of fighting. He explained:

"My preparation is what makes me me, the way I prepare physically, mentally, emotionally...It allowes me to the best that I can do...I feel great and I'm ready to go test the waters and see if I'm as good as I think I am. I believe the first one was a fluke and I'm ready to go test that."
