Report: UFC finalizing Holloway-Allen main event for April 15 Fight Night

A main event bout between featherweights Max Holloway and Arnold Allen is being finalized for a UFC Fight Night event on April 15, sources told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.

The fight would mark Holloway's first appearance in the Octagon since losing to Alexander Volkanovski via unanimous decision for the featherweight championship at UFC 276 in July 2022.

Holloway posted a 3-3 record over his last six bouts, though all three defeats came against Volkanovski.

Arnold heads into the reported bout with a perfect 10-0 UFC record. The 29-year-old headlined a Fight Night card in October in his last matchup, taking down Calvin Kattar by TKO.
