UFC results: Max Holloway ends Arnold Allen’s long win streak
Re-live updates from the featherweight main event in Missouri, where Holloway was a decision winner
Max Holloway halted Arnold Allen’s 12-fight win streak on Saturday, outpointing the Briton in the pair’s UFC Fight Night main event.
Former featherweight champion Holloway bounced back from his third loss to Alexander Volkanovski by beating Allen in Kansas City, where he was a unanimous-decision winner.
Meanwhile, Allen came up short as he looked to set up a title shot against reigning champion Volkanovski, landing numerous heavy strikes but failing to put down Hawaiian Holloway.
In fact, it was Allen who dropped to a knee in the frenzied final seconds of the fight, which Holloway won 49-46, 49-46, 48-47 on the scorecards.

Follow live as Max Holloway and Arnold Allen square off in a UFC Fight Night main event tonight.
Former champion Holloway is looking to bounce back from his third defeat by reigning title holder Alexander Volkanovski, while British contender Allen is out to secure a shot at the gold.
Last time out, Ipswich fighter Allen pressured Calvin Kattar to the point that the American sustained an injury, while Holloway’s third clash with Volkanovski went the same way as their previous meetings – with “Alexander The Great” winning on points.
Hawaiian Holloway, 31, is keen to prove that he is still capable of a title run, while Allen, 29, is seeking a 13th straight win and his biggest scalp to date.
