Vettori wrote on his Instagram stories, “One armed Vettori is unbeaten. Ain’t never missing shit.” UFC president Dana White weighed in briefly on his X (formerly Twitter) account, writing that “had to be fight of the night if it was at PFL.”

Allen (24-5) has gone 12-2 since joining the UFC, winning his past seven in a row. The 28-year-old is currently slated to face Nassourdine Imavov in the main event of UFC Paris on Sept. 28.

Vettori (19-6-1) won two of four since challenging Israel Adesanya for the UFC belt in 2021, defeating Paulo Costa and Roman Dolidze via decision, but coming up short against Robert Whittaker and Jared Cannonier. He has yet to book his next fight inside the octagon.
