UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal praises Donald Trump as former president watches from ringside
Follow live as Max Holloway and Arnold Allen square off in a UFC Fight Night main event tonight.
Former champion Holloway is looking to bounce back from his third defeat by reigning title holder Alexander Volkanovski, while British contender Allen is out to secure a shot at the gold.
Last time out, Ipswich fighter Allen pressured Calvin Kattar to the point that the American sustained an injury, while Holloway’s third clash with Volkanovski went the same way as their previous meetings – with “Alexander The Great” winning on points.
Hawaiian Holloway, 31, is keen to prove that he is still capable of a title run, while Allen, 29, is seeking a 13th straight win and his biggest scalp to date.

Boser vs Cutelaba – Round 1
Tidy counter left hook from Cutelaba as Boser hops into range for a jab. Now Cutelaba times a right cross well, after slipping a straight shot from Boser.
Boser blocks an overhand right from Cutelaba, but a cross then gets through and sends Boser stumbling back to the fence!
Boser is stunned, but Cutelaba opts for a takedown instead of more strikes. That’s not always the wisest decision, but let’s see if Cutelaba can make it work…
He does! He pins Boser against the fence and fires off short punches, and there’s nothing the Canadian can do to stop the onslaught.
The referee steps in! Cutelaba with a big win in the first round.

Munhoz vs Gutierrez – Round 3
Munhoz gets right after Gutierrez. There’s still lots of stance-switching from the fighters. I’d say gutierrez is largely trying to mirror Munhoz.
The crowd is restless, focusing on fans downing pints of beer at the moment.
