The UFC confirmed recently that featherweights No. 10 Josh Emmett (14-2-0) and No. 14 Arnold Allen (14-1-0) will collide at Raleigh’s UFC on ESPN+ 24 in January.
“Almighty,” the 25-year-old Londoner, has an eight win streak, including six in the octagon. His last bout was a convincing decision victory over Gilbert Melendez at UFC 239 in July.
