Allen vs Yusuff UFC prediction and betting pick
PREDICTION: Fight to go the Distance -136 - Both of these fighters have eerily similar resumes but their styles are different. Allen is the better all-around fighter while Yusuff is the superior striker with the power advantage.
Although Yusuff has knocked out two of his last four opponents, Allen will be his toughest foe and combines good strike defense with the wrestling ability to take this fight to the mat.
Five of Allen's last six fights have gone the distance, so avoiding Yusuff's big shots and grinding out a win is his best chance of success. That said, going the full 15 minutes is no guarantee of success for Allen, since Super Sodiq can impress the judges with his power and pace.
Regardless of who wins, this bout should be a close one that goes the distance, and being able to take the prop at -136 is solid value.
