Impact Allen may not be on the same level as names such as Jean Silva, Movsar Evloev, or Max Holloway, three guys he's lost to within the past three-plus years, but he's still darn good and it's important to remember he will still handle most guys at 145 pounds without issue, as he did here against Costa. This was a competitive fight for a little over a round, at which point Arnold turned up the aggressiveness and took over. He landed the far more damaging blows on the feet, and most impressively, connected on all seven of his takedown attempts. By the time the fight was over, Allen had turned it into a rout. The next challenge for the 32-year-old Brit will be to pick up his first "career-defining victory."
