Arnold Allen and Jean Silva Set for UFC 324 Battle

Britain’s own, Arnold Allen is set to return to action at UFC 324 in Las Vegas on January 24th. The featherweight star is slated to meet Brazilian fan favourite, Jean Silva in a featherweight clash.

It marks the first time that Allen will be in action since July 2024, when he defeated Giga Chikadze via unanimous decision, snapping a two-fight losing skid. Silva, on the other hand, has been far more active. Lord has had four bouts since July 2024, all of which have seen him land a post-fight bonus. Last time out, however, he lost his first promotional bout when he was knocked out by Diego Lopes in their main event.

Arnold Allen at UFC 324?

We know from reports that Arnold Allen was scheduled to return; however, conflicting reports this week suggested that Allen was going to move up in weight to lightweight in an attempt to secure a fight. This isn’t the case, however, as this one will be at featherweight.

His preparation for UFC 324 has been far from ideal. We reported last month that Allen was attacked on the street whilst training in Canada for not speaking French. With that being said, the Brit is far more experienced than Silva.

As of yet, UFC 324 doesn’t have a main event, however, there are two huge rumours as to who could headline the event. You can check out these rumours here.
