Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen will headline the UFC tournament

A middleweight fight between Marvin Vettori and Brendan Allen will headline the UFC’s April 6 event in Las Vegas.

The bout between the top middleweights was officially announced by representatives of the organization.

Marvin Vettori, 30, has been on a steady win-loss streak for the past three years, and this time he returns to the octagon after a disappointing performance last June, losing a unanimous decision to Jared Cannonier.

Brendan Allen, 28, picked up his sixth straight win in the UFC in November, finishing Scotsman Paul Craig with a third-round rear-naked choke.

The Italian and American are currently ranked fifth and eighth in the UFC’s middleweight rankings, respectively.
