A featherweight contender reminded everyone of his class in Las Vegas. Here is the recap of UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Costa.
Main event: Arnold Allen dominates Costa
Arnold Allen turned in a disciplined, one-sided unanimous decision over the streaking Melquizael Costa (50-45, 50-45, 49-46), going a perfect 7-for-7 on takedowns while landing the cleaner shots on the feet.
Around the card
Doo Ho Choi rolled back the years with a second-round TKO of Daniel Santos. Debutant Juan Diaz earned a Performance bonus for a rear-naked-choke finish, and Alice Ardelean made history with the first-ever Capsule Lock submission in UFC competition.
The mindset takeaway
Allen didn't chase the highlight; he executed a game plan to perfection. Discipline, applied for 25 straight minutes, is its own kind of dominance.
