Brendan Allen is set to trade leather against Anthony Hernandez in February 2025.
The middleweight prospects will meet in a rematch on Feb. 22, likely in Seattle. The matchup was first reported by Alex Behunin.
They first met in the LFA 32 main event in 2018 where “All in” dropped a unanimous decision against Hernandez. Hernandez (13-2) got a spot on Dana White’s Contender Series immediately after and a subsequent Ultimate Fighting Championship contract. While Hernandez went 1-2 to start his UFC journey, “Fluffy” has since completely turned his career around. Hernandez is currently on a spectacular six-fight winning streak with five finishes, leaving behind the likes of Marc-Andre Barriault, Roman Kopylov and Michel Pereira in his wake.
Meanwhile, Allen (24-6) had to rack up a three fight winning streak in Legacy Fighting Alliance before he earned his DWCS shot and subsequent UFC contract in 2019. Allen has since gone 12-3 in the UFC, only losing against elite competition. Allen was recently riding an impressive seven-fight winning streak which was snapped by a unanimous decision loss against Nassourdine Imavov in his last outing in September.
