20 UFC Prospects Destined For Big Things In 2020

7. Arnold Allen

Despite competing in the UFC for a number of years now, it feels like Arnold Allen has never really got the credit he deserves. However, after a fantastic performance against lightweight great Gilbert Melendez in his last fight, it looks like he might be ready to take the next big step up in competition.

The 25-year old from England, Suffolk made his UFC debut on short notice against Alan Omer back in 2015. After finishing the German veteran, he hasn't looked back since, going an impressive 6-0 in a stacked featherweight division.

From the very beginning of his career, Allen has been a relatively well-rounded fighter. Under the tutelage of head coaches, Jack Mason and Firas Zahabi, he's continued to grow. In fact, every time he steps inside the Octagon, you can see some sort of new weapon in his arsenal.

With an undefeated record inside the UFC and a recent win over a legend on his record, there's nowhere for Allen to go other than up.
