Arnold Allen may have hit a rough patch lately, but don't let that fool you—this guy was once the toast of the featherweight division. As "The Almighty" gears up for his UFC Fight Night 276 main event against Melquizael Costa this Saturday, it's the perfect time to revisit the performance that made him a household name.

Back in 2022, in front of a roaring London crowd, Allen put on a masterclass against Dan Hooker in the co-main event. It was over in just half a round—a stunning display of precision and power that earned him his second post-fight bonus and cemented his status as a rising star. That night, Allen wasn't just winning; he was making a statement.

Fast forward to today, and the 32-year-old Brit is looking to bounce back after a tough loss to Jean Silva in January. That defeat marked his third in four fights, but here's the thing: those losses came against absolute killers. We're talking former champion and BMF titleholder Max Holloway, the then-unbeaten Movsar Evloev, and Silva. It's easy to forget that before this rough stretch, Allen won his first 10 UFC fights—a run that had everyone talking.

Now, he's stepping into the Octagon against Costa, a streaking contender who enters as a slight betting favorite. The stage is set for a redemption story at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, and if Allen can channel even a fraction of that London magic, we're in for a treat.

So, before the main event goes down on Saturday (streaming on Paramount+), take a moment to watch Allen's unforgettable finish of Hooker in the video above. It's a reminder of just how dangerous "The Almighty" can be when he's at his best.
