The UFC has booked a pivotal fight for its second quarter of 2024, as Brendan Allen will take on fellow middleweight contender, Marvin Vettori.

Allen (23-5) has been steadily rising the middleweight rankings, on account of a six-fight, winning streak. Vettori (19-7), meanwhile, has gone 2-2 since he was defeated by former champ, Israel Adesanya for a second time in 2021.

Recently, the UFC announced that Allen and Vettori will battle at the promotion’s April 6th card. The fight will reportedly be the card’s five-round, main event.

The location for the April 6th card has yet to be announced.
