BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Max Holloway vs. Arnold Allen:

Rob Font, UFC bantamweight: That is a good fight but I’m going with Max Holloway in this one. Holloway is clearly the second-best featherweight he just can’t beat the champ.

Billy Quarantillo, UFC featherweight: I am going to rock with Max Holloway. I’ve been a fan of his for so long but I do think Arnold Allen is the dark horse of the division and can give anyone a problem.

Adrian Yanez, UFC bantamweight: Arnold Allen is really f*****g good, but I have to go with Max Holloway. Max is just a step better than all the other contenders.

Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: That is a close one, it will be interesting to see how Holloway bounces back. Allen is like 10-0 or something like that in the UFC but he doesn’t really have that statement win. I do think Max is just the better striker and he gets the win.

Brandon Royval, UFC flyweight: Max Holloway by decision.

Davey Grant, UFC bantamweight: I love both of these fighters and I think it is really 50/50. I’ll pick Allen because I am friends with him but it is a very close fight on paper.

Mario Bautista, UFC bantamweight: That is a tough one, but I’ll go with Allen as I think he is the next generation and Holloway has been through some wars, and that damage has to catch up eventually.

Zak Cummings, UFC light heavyweight: I will never go against Max Holloway. Arnold is very good but I have a hard time seeing Max lose to anyone but the champ.

Steven Peterson, UFC featherweight: Max Holloway gets it done. I think Max beats everyone but Volkanovski.
