Allen called for a matchup with du Plessis after stopping Reinier de Ridder at UFC Vancouver this past October in a fight that made all the sense in the world. It\u2019s rumored du Plessis will face Kamaru Usman in the main event of UFC Oklahoma City in July, but the UFC is yet to announce it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">So why didn\u2019t the fight with du Plessis happen?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cBecause he\u2019s a bitch,\u201d Allen told MMA Fighting. \u201cIt was supposed to be a done deal in January. I was told it was a done deal. Me and Dricus was done and then they said he got hurt and he\u2019s not fighting until July. And I was, at that time, it was supposed to be like around May that I was told that I would fight him. So I was like, \u2018No, I don\u2019t want to wait, who\u2019s next?\u2018 Or maybe it was end of April, I don\u2019t even know. I think it may have been end of April, some somewhere in April, yeah, because then it got moved to May, then they said he got hurt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cBut he posted training videos the next week, so I don\u2019t know. I kind of think I was a little bit finessed, to be honest with you, and I don\u2019t know by who. I\u2019m not saying it was by anyone in particular, but that\u2019s what I feel. And then I asked for Usman. Like, let me fight Usman then, since [du Plessis\u2019] hurt, he\u2019s ready to go, let me fight him. I want to fight him. Let me fight him. And that didn\u2019t come to fruition. I asked for many other guys, those didn\u2019t come to fruition. I got sick of waiting, sick of waiting, needed the money, and I took the guy who was on a win streak and didn\u2019t have a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Shahbazyan, despite not having a number next to his name, enters one of the biggest fights of his career on a three-fight win streak, including a stoppage win over Andre Muniz in his most recent bout at UFC 320 this past October. The 28-year-old was slated to face Jun Yong Park in April before a Park injury scratched the contest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Allen was asked how this matchup between a top 5 fighter in himself and a fighter nowhere near the title picture came to be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cF*cking tell me about it,\u201d Allen said. \u201cI\u2019m young per se, getting older though, I\u2019m in good shape. I want to work, I want to get better, I want to make money. Why am I going to sit out? I\u2019m here to make money to build my dream at home, with the life I want to live. So I don\u2019t want to sit out. I\u2019m not hurt, so I mean, it came down to\u2026 I don\u2019t know, man, it was a lot of moving parts for many times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI was supposed to fight in March, then April, then May, then they had booked everything out and announced all the main events, and I was like, \u2018Yo, if I got to co-main to someone\u2019s [main event], let me do [it with] B. He\u2019s one of my best friends, the best guy I know, let me co-main to him. Then nobody wanted to fight. I asked for pretty much everyone. Nobody wanted to fight whether they were hurt, they didn\u2019t want to fight, whatever the reason may be. So the next person in line who didn\u2019t have a fight was Edmen, and yeah, just right place right time for for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Allen understands he won\u2019t gain much from getting a victory over Shahbazyan from a merit perspective, but that doesn\u2019t matter to him. Allen wants to provide for his family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">And if he can put on a show, get that second paycheck, and perhaps, find himself in some extra bonus money, that\u2019s even better. Either way, Allen plans to use Saturday night as a reminder to the fans and the rest of his division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cIf I can\u2019t take him down in the fight, if I can\u2019t do what I plan to do, then I\u2019m going to beat the shit out of him on the feet, which is what I come to do anyway,\u201d Allen said. \u201cI come to strike with everyone. The only person I ever came to take down in a fight was [Nassourdine] Imavov, and the takedowns were dog shit. I should have stayed striking with him. I\u2019m going to show him, I\u2019m going to beat him in his game, I\u2019m going to beat him in mine, I\u2019m going to beat him everywhere it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to play on it, but I mean, I\u2019m going to put something on him to pause. I plan to put pressure on him like crazy. I plan to go out there and just put a beating on him. I don\u2019t plan to ever let him gain any confidence in this fight. He\u2019s not going to get nothing from me. I think I\u2019m tougher, I\u2019m bigger, I\u2019m more of a vet, I\u2019m more skilled.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/ufc\/491900\/because-hes-a-btch-brendan-allen-explains-why-dricus-du-plessis-fight-didnt-get-made\">Fonte do Artigo <\/a><br \/>\nSee more: <a href=\"https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Global Track<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/corinthiames.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corinthia Mes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brendan Allen claims a fight with former middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis was on the table, but didn\u2019t get done.
