Arnold Allen Looks Back At UFC 297 Defeat Against Movsar Evloev
In a new video posted on his YouTube channel, Arnold Allen took a look back at the fight, revealing he’s watched it over on more than one occasion (h/t MMAMania.com).
“Everyone’s saying that I won round one and round three. I agree,” Allen said. “That’s what I felt, too. I felt after round one, I was like, ‘Yup, won that one.’ Round two, I f—ked that one up. And round three, that was mine. Very, very, very, very, very frustrating. Not the way I wanted to start things off [in 2024]…I just felt like I deserved to win that. I don’t want to be b-tching and moaning or anything like that. I have no ill will against his team or the opponent. I watched it back a few times. I wanted to watch it back before I gave a video saying how I felt…Yeah, I felt like I got one and three just on the base that everyone else said it, and that’s what I felt immediately after.”
