LAS VEGAS – Calvin Kattar and Arnold Allen got their first official opportunity to face off prior to Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 213 main event.
After making weight on Friday morning ahead of the card, which streams on ESPN+ from the UFC Apex, Kattar (23-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Allen (18-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) engaged in a traditional staredown in front of the media.
Both men are professional and kept things cordial, but the intensity was there as they came face-to-face.
