Brendan Allen is back on a roll.
The 26-year-old middleweight notched his third win in a row on Saturday at UFC Vegas 61, tapping out the always tough Krzysztof Jotko with a rear-naked choke at the 4:17 mark of the opening round.

With the finish, Allen (20-5) has now won eight of his 10 octagon appearances, losing only to ranked fighters Chris Curtis and Sean Strickland.
For Jotko (24-6), the loss snaps a two-fight win streak and puts the 33-year-old veteran at 5-5 over his past 10 UFC bouts.
Following his win, Allen called to fight at the UFC’s upcoming Jan. 21 pay-per-view.
” I want to fight at Rio [at UFC 283], Andre Muniz, Allen stated. Allen said, “He is a great jiu jitsu guy. I think we make a good matchup.” We both like to strike a little bit, we’ve both got good jiu-jitsu. If not, he is my guy. I love him. But, ‘Fluffy I would like to meet you there .”
