Arnold Allen responds to Giga Chikadze’s injury revelation following UFC 304: “This is not the way”

Allen questions Chikadze

“This is not the way.”

“Also how’s he know he needs surgery I think I broke my hand in the first round too but I’m still waiting for an MRI and xray etc. UFC’s magic doctors must’ve screwed me.”

There are plenty of different ways to analyze a statement like this. At the end of the day, though, all that really matters is the result. Arnold Allen had to overcome some real adversity here and, in the wake of losing two straight, he had to prove to the masses that he is still a top contender at 145 pounds.

He did that, and now it’s time to start looking ahead to what’s next. There are a lot of big names that sit ahead of him in the rankings, and after fighting someone beneath him in the top 15, he’ll feel as if he deserves a big opportunity.
