Brendan Allen didn’t mince his words after the weigh-in. Indeed, he accuses the anti-doping agency of being corrupt and of favoring French athletes.
Renato Moicano, headliner of UFC Paris, will face Benoit Saint Denis and Brendan Allen, co-headliner, will face Nassourdine Imavov. Both expected to return to their hotel rooms to recover after validating the weigh-in. However, according to the American’s account, something else happened.

Instead of being able to return to their rooms, Brendan Allen and Moicano were detained “for hours”.
“France has the most corrupt way in the world of treating fighters”Allen told his followers on Instagram. “They will tell me that I have to give blood. They first told me to give urine – directly on the scale. Dehydrated… waited three hours, finally had to pee, then they told me I had to donate more blood. »
“It was only Moicano and I who had to do this”continues Allen. “The two French people got nothing. They were just able to go to their room [pour] sleeping, eating, relaxing, doing whatever they wanted, while three and a half hours later […] I was downstairs at 8:30, I lost weight last night, easily. Fuck this place, it’s a shithole.”
Today’s “random” event was an addition to the UFC promotion’s existing drug testing protocols. Allen, 28, is expected to face local hero Nassourdine Imavov for a place in the under-84 kilo title race. Likewise, Moicano will be the center of attention against Benoît Saint Denis.
