Brendan Allen vs. Anthony Hernandez Preview
Henry Cejudo vs. Song Yadong is the main event of UFC Fight Night 252, but the co-main event is equally exciting. The reason why we think Allen vs. Hernandez is going to be a real banger is that both fighters are incredible finishers.
Allen is 24-6 overall with four of his last five wins happening by submission. He’s a rear-naked choke expert who also has some decent boxing skills and is a fantastic athlete with a great gas tank.
Pretty much the same goes for his UFC Seattle opponent. Hernandez is 13-2-1 overall with eight wins by submission. The most impressive fact about this guy is that he’s coming to Seattle after six wins in a row – he’s without a single loss since 2020, which was only his second year in the UFC.
Before joining Dana White’s promotion, he fought under the banner of LFA. A fun fact for you is that in his final fight with this promotion, he beat Brendan Allen by decision.
Brendan Allen vs. Anthony Hernandez Prediction
Someone’s getting finished on February 22, but who will it be? Even though the UFC Seattle odds favor Hernandez, our pick is Allen. The reason is that this guy looked way more dangerous in his last couple of fights than Hernandez. Plus, he fought against tougher opponents than his next rival.
