Brendan Allen is a well-rounded UFC middleweight known for his grappling prowess, particularly his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, which he often uses to control opponents on the ground. His striking has improved over time, making him a more versatile threat inside the octagon. Allen's main strength lies in his ability to transition smoothly between striking and grappling, keeping opponents guessing. However, his defense can sometimes be a vulnerability, especially against high-level strikers who can exploit openings in his stand-up game.
