When and Where: Date and Location of UFC Fight Night 213 Kattar vs. Allen
A week after the high-profile UFC 280, the world's premier promotion returns with Calvin Katter vs. Arnold Allen at UFC Fight Night 213 on October 29th at the Apex Arena in Las Vegas. The main event is a duel between two top featherweights. But besides this, a veteran and legend of mixed martial arts - Andrey Orlovsky will perform at the same tournament . He will face a dangerous Brazilian - Marcos Rogerio de Lima.Calvin Catter was not too long ago a promising and young featherweight fighter. He showed himself well in fights with Lamas, Stevens and Dan Ige. But he was too tough for other top featherweights. Zabit Magomedsharipov was able to beat Catter in 2019 and most recently lost to Max Holloway and Josh Emmett. Now, an extremely dangerous Briton, Arnold Allen, who has not known defeat since 2014, will stand opposite the American. The difference of 6 years between the fighters makes us understand that the young prospect is being pushed into the ratings through the more experienced and age Catter. The fighters have good standing skills. In the last fight, Allen confidently defeated Dan Hooker by knockout in the first round, and Calvin showed how he can stop the “hype trains”, as was the case with Chikaze.
Andrey Orlovsky has been playing in the UFC for more than 20 years, and let his record in recent fights leave much to be desired to stay in the league at such a respectable age and win is worthy of respect. Andrei showed us more than once how, despite his age, he knows how to defeat the young and inexperienced. Marcus Rogerio de Lima fell into rivals of Belarus - not the most skillful fighter, but whose blow does not forgive. The Brazilian won 14 of his 19 victories by knockout. Orlovsky is waiting for a difficult test.
