Allen Unveils Strategy for Showdown with Chimaev

American middleweight fighter **Brendan Allen** shared his thoughts on a potential matchup with the league’s champion, Russia’s **Khamzat Chimaev**.

«We’ll wrestle for two rounds, and then he’ll tire out, and I’ll beat him up. I believe there are ways to defeat Khamzat that don’t involve grappling or takedown defenses. I’m skilled enough on the ground to wear him out. No one disputes his ability to take me down, but how often can he actually do it?

How long will it be before he gets tired and makes a mistake? Perhaps I’ll manage to counter him on the ground, catching him in a submission,» Allen’s comments were reported by Home of Fight.
