Brendan Allen is less than three weeks removed from having his hand raised inside the octagon, but his sights are already firmly set on his next bout. Allen (18-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC) picked up a second-round submission win over Sam Alvey at UFC Fight Night 200 on Feb. 5 in a bout he accepted on just four days’ notice. It put him back in the win column after falling victim to an upset against Chris Curtis at UFC on ESPN 31 in December, and opened up some options of the future. The 26-year-old who trains out of Sanford MMA in Florida expects to be back in the octagon this summer, he said, but it’s just a matter of finalizing the opponent. Two men are the apparent frontrunners, Allen revealed, with a rematch against Eryk Anders (14-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) – who beat him by unanimous decision at LFA 14 in June 2017 – or Jacob Malkoun (6-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC)
