During that time Jean Silva has emerged from relative obscurity into a bona fide contender in the featherweight division, as the Brazilian and his 'Fighting Nerds' team-mates took the UFC by storm.
Silva was stopped by Diego Lopes in his most recent outing in a fight that served as a title eliminator at 145lbs. The loss marked the 29-year-old's first defeat inside the Octagon and he will be determined to regain his momentum against Allen this weekend.
Allen is a sizeable underdog heading into the showdown but Adam Catterall insists 'Almighty' will offer a timely reminder of his abilities by getting his hand raised on the big stage.
"Where's Allen at?" Catterall said on UFC 324 Cageside.
"He's been out for such a long period of time. Injuries, surgeries, rehabilitation. Is he the guy that we saw rise to become a top contender in this division? He's lost a little bit of ground since he's been out.
He continued: "This is a big night for Arnold Allen, can he put on a display and can he do against a guy - yes, ranked below him, but has profile?
"Big night for Arnold Allen, I think he can come through. He's a very very clever, underrated martial artist. I'm going to go for points, but triple A will be back with a win."gfugyij
