MMA divisional rankings: Brendan Allen gets finish to continue climb

Brendan Allen fought a back-and-forth battle with Christian Leroy Duncan in Saturday's UFC Fight Night main event. Going into the fifth round of the meeting of top-10 middleweights, Allen was narrowly ahead on all three scorecards. Of course, he did not know what the judges were thinking. So Allen took it out of the judges' hands in Round 5, getting Duncan to the ground and efficiently finishing the gritty fight with a rear-naked choke. With his fourth straight victory, Allen moves up one spot to No.
