Brendan Allen Secures Another Rear-Naked Choke Win

Brendan Allen extended his dominance in the UFC middleweight division with another submission victory at UFC Vegas 122, this time securing a rear-naked choke over Christian Leroy Duncan in the fifth round. The American fighter, riding a three-fight winning streak, controlled the pace of the bout after an early exchange of strikes and clinching.

Despite Duncan’s five-fight win streak in the Octagon and a point deduction for an eye poke, Allen’s grappling prowess proved decisive as he locked in the choke at 2:46 of the final round, forcing the English fighter to tap out. The win marked Allen’s second main-event victory in a row, solidifying his position as a top contender in the division.

Elsewhere on the card, Jai Herbert claimed his first back-to-back UFC wins with a unanimous decision over Matheus Camilo, while Andre Fili delivered a knockout finish against Kai Kamaka III in a high-energy bout. Herbert, who had not won consecutive fights since his Cage Warriors days, outlasted Camilo on all scorecards, while Fili’s explosive second-round head kick sealed his victory in a fight that showcased the veteran’s enduring power.
