Brendan Allen will get yet another switch in opponent. Roman Dolidze has withdrawn from UFC on ESPN 31 and Chris Curtis (27-8 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will step in on short notice to face Allen (17-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 31 on Dec. 4. Both fighters confirmed the booking on social media Monday following an initial report from MMA DNA . Making a less than one month turnaround is Curtis, who came up big as an underdog in his promotional debut when he knocked out highly touted Phil Hawes at UFC 268 in November. His fight against Allen will mark the 34-year-old’s sixth fight in 2021
