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.

Boser vs Cutelaba – Round 1

Tidy counter left hook from Cutelaba as Boser hops into range for a jab. Now Cutelaba times a right cross well, after slipping a straight shot from Boser.

Boser blocks an overhand right from Cutelaba, but a cross then gets through and sends Boser stumbling back to the fence!

Boser is stunned, but Cutelaba opts for a takedown instead of more strikes. That’s not always the wisest decision, but let’s see if Cutelaba can make it work...

He does! He pins Boser against the fence and fires off short punches, and there’s nothing the Canadian can do to stop the onslaught.

The referee steps in! Cutelaba with a big win in the first round.

Munhoz vs Gutierrez – Round 3

Now fans are waving their phones while shining their torches. They’re booing, too, increasingly loudly.

Munhoz vs Gutierrez – Round 3

Munhoz gets right after Gutierrez. There’s still lots of stance-switching from the fighters. I’d say gutierrez is largely trying to mirror Munhoz.

The crowd is restless, focusing on fans downing pints of beer at the moment.
