Brian Kelleher
I like how kattar throws range finder punches at slower speeds then picks his crisp shots which throws off the rhythm as well #UFCVegas63

Bisping very biased on commentary for UK fighter Allen. He just can’t call it straight. #ufcvegas63

10-9 Allen after one.
Kattar looked like he tweaked his knee and in the corner, says that he doesn't know whether it's injured.

Arnold Allen lands a leg kick and the knee goes out again.
That's a wrap. Allen remains undefeated in the UFC.

Really too bad the way that fight ended. Allen was looking great, but then Kattar got injured. Too bad for both guys. I sure hope Calvin is OK

Damn I hate seeing that. So unfortunate man

Brett Okamoto
Damn it. Calvin Kattar compromises his right knee in the first round and fight ends quickly in the second because of it. Arnold Allen looked great, R2 TKO. Really hope Kattar avoids something serious but doesn't look good.

Sucks to see Kattar get hurt like that, but s$&t happens. This sport is unpredictable in so many ways.

Not in the manner he wanted, but Arnold Allen joins Alexander Volkanovski as the only featherweights in history to start 10-0 in the UFC.

@Arnoldbfa was looking great, Not the ending he wanted but was all class about it. Wishing @CalvinKattara speedy recovery. #UFCVegas63

Allen was looking surgical tonight. Southpaws are a tricky bunch to prep for. Unfortunate for Kattar after the jump knee attempt. Hoping for the best with that injury for him. #UFCVegas63
