Arnold Allen secured a main event victory over Melquizael Costa at UFC Fight Night 276, keeping his momentum intact in the featherweight division.
The event took place at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, where Allen’s win allowed him to maintain his position in the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie featherweight rankings.
On the same night, Francis Ngannou made his return to MMA competition after nearly two years away, stepping back into action in MVP MMA's hexagon.
Ngannou scored a first-round knockout of Philipe Lins, a result that made him eligible to rejoin the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings after previously being absent due to inactivity.
The busy combat sports night also featured a UFC event running alongside the availability of Rousey vs. Carano on Netflix.
