When it comes to fighters to look up to, Marc Allen could do a lot worse than Jon Jones and Khabib Nurmagomedov . Allen (7-2) on Saturday fights Paul Redmond (7-3) in a lightweight bout on the main card of Cage Warriors 55, which takes place at The Helix in Dublin. The main card streams live at MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) at 4 p.m. ET. Allen comes in riding a three-fight win streak. To make it four, he wouldn’t object if he got a chance to his nickname – ”Suplex” – on display in front of Redmond’s home-country fans in Ireland. Allen loves the throw, and after watching Nurmagomedov land an astonishing 21 throw takedowns in this past week’s UFC 160 event, maybe he’s got a goal against Redmond – though a spinning elbow, a la UFC champ Jones, isn’t something he’d object to, either. “(My nickname) mostly has to do with my wrestling, and that’s what my strongest side is in the MMA game,” Allen told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
