Insider info
Arnold Allen favored — picked against Calvin Kattar lean UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Allen · October 26, 2022
strikinggreat
durabilitygood
The pick still credits Kattar's height and reach along with his combination boxing as a real threat, but rates his path to victory as narrower than Allen's.
Kattar brings a real height and reach edge into this one along with genuinely great boxing and the ability to land in combination, which forces Allen to fight uphill, literally, over five rounds. He's also proven extremely durable, having weathered heavy volume against an elite striker and taken clean shots from a hard-hitting opponent without going down. The concern is that his chin, while still holding up, is a finite resource, and outside of his boxing he doesn't offer many alternate ways to win if that first path gets closed off.
