Featherweight prospects Allen, Amirkhani to fight at UFC London
Two top featherweight prospects will put their undefeated UFC records on the line March 18.
England's Arnold Allen will defend his home turf when he meets Finnish fighter Makwan Amirkhani in London at UFC Fight Night 107.
The promotion announced the bout Tuesday.
It will be the second straight London booking for the 23-year-old Allen, who defeated Yaotzin Meza by unanimous decision in February to improve his professional record to 11-1 including a 2-0 mark inside the Octagon.
Amirkhani, 28, has also never tasted defeat in the UFC having compiled a perfect 3-0 record. "Mr. Finland" debuted with the promotion in 2015 with an eight-second KO of Andy Ogle and followed that up with a 1:41 submission of Masio Fullen. In his most recent outing, Amirkhani topped Mike Wilkinson by unanimous decision.
UFC Fight Night 107 is set to feature the retirement bout of 12-year MMA veteran Brad Pickett, and a light heavyweight bout between top-10 contenders Corey Anderson and Jimi Manuwa. However, the main event of the card has not been announced.
