A featherweight banger is being targeted for the first numbered UFC card of 2026.
Arnold Allen and Jean Silva will likely trade leather at UFC 324 on Jan. 24, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. MMAFighting.com first broke the news.
Staying Put for Now
Allen went unbeaten in his first 10 UFC outings before suffering consecutive losses against Max Holloway and Movsar Evloev. “Almighty” has since rebounded with a win over Giga Chikadze in July 2024. While Allen briefly teased a move to lightweight, the Englishman will seemingly continue at featherweight for now.
Meanwhile, Silva made his UFC debut last year and started his journey with five straight highlight-reel finishes. “Lord’s” hype train was finally derailed with a stoppage loss against fellow Brazilian Diego Lopes this past September.
