Tonight’s UFC London event was co-headlined by a featherweight contest featuring Dan Hooker taking on hometown favorite Allen Arnold.<\/p>\n

Hooker (21-12 MMA) was returning to the featherweight division after dropping three of his last four fights at lightweight. In his most previous effort<\/a> at UFC 267, ‘The Hangman’ was submitted<\/a> by Islam Makhachev in less than three minutes.<\/p>\n

As for Arnold Allen (18-1 MMA), ‘Almighty’ had entered Saturday’s co-headliner sporting a ten-fight winning streak. During that impressive stretch the Ipswich product had scored wins over Gilbert Melendez, Nik Lentz and Sodiq Yusuff.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s UFC London co-main event proved to be an absolute slugfest, with Dan Hooker taking the brunt of those punches. Arnold Allen was able to connect with a good combination early but then appeared to be clipped by a counter punch from ‘The Hangman’. Despite that, Allen pressed forward and proceeded to unleash a plethora of heavy strikes which ultimately forced the referee to step in and stop the contest.<\/p>\n
