Brendan Allen spent much of Saturday night looking a half-step slower than he wanted. Christian Leroy Duncan kept coming forward, forced him to work deep into the fifth round and made the UFC’s fourth-ranked middleweight earn every bit of his main-event victory.

“Love me or hate me,” Allen said, “I’m coming to scrap every time.”
