Arnold Allen vs. Sodiq Yusuff was an interesting co-main event fight.
The two fighters met in a bout on Saturday night (April 10, 2021) at the UFC on ABC 2 event from Las Vegas, Nevada at the UFC Apex facility. It was all Allen in the first round although Yusuff did score a takedown in the opening minute.

Allen landed a nasty head kick, but Yusuff took it even though he was rocked. Yusuff took the third round as Allen was tired and he was able to do some damage up against the fence. In the end, Allen got the unanimous decision win.
