Anthony Hernandez vs. Brendan Allen UFC Seattle Fight
Anthony Hernandez said last month he aims to be in UFC title contention by end of 2025.
“It sets me up perfect,” Hernandez told MMA Junkie Radio. “As long as I can stay healthy, my goal is to by the end of the year be in a position to fight for the title. So, if I have to knock out two more or one big one, I’m f*cking ready for it.
“I’m not getting any younger. My whole goal is to get the belt, hold it for a while, and then retire. That’s the dream. That should set me up for all the things that I want to do in life.”
He is currently riding a 6-fight win streak and has 13 victories in 16 bouts.
Allen has 24 wins in 30 fights.
Allen lost in a unanimous decision defeat to Nassourdine Imavov in September, which snapped his seven-fight winning streak inside the octagon. He is yet to lose two in a row in his career.
“Coming off a loss, I’m always a different monster,” Allen told MMA Junkie Radio. “It’s different. Plus, it’s a redemption fight for me and, I don’t know, I hope that I go out here, beat ‘Fluffy’ – and I won’t talk bad about ‘Fluffy’ whatsoever or be disrespectful, because I really like ‘Fluffy’ as a human. He’s a great human. But I’m going to go out there and I’m going to do my job. I’m going to finish him and hopefully after that it just shows circumstances weren’t on my side in France and I’m still the killer who should be close to the title shot – and hopefully I get a top-five guy next, really put a statement on them and put me back in contention.”
