On April 10th, 2023, the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri will host UFC Fight Night: Max Holloway vs. Arnold Allen. The main event will feature a featherweight bout between former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway and fourth-ranked featherweight Arnold Allen. The co-main event will see Edson Barboza face Billy Quarantillo in a featherweight matchup. The full fight card includes several other exciting matchups.
Max Holloway will attempt to get back to winning ways after his loss to the current featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski, at UFC 276 on July 2nd, 2022. Holloway is the -155 favorite going into the fight against Allen, but the Brit is on a 12-fight win streak and has looked better in every fight. A win for Allen would make for a solid argument to be the next challenger against the winner of Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez.
