Arnold Allen put on 20lbs between weighing in and stepping in the cage for his fight at UFC London last weekend.

Allen, who hit the 145lb mark for his featherweight fight with Dan Hooker at the event, secured the first knockout win of his UFC career by dispatching the New Zealander in the first round. The win meant 'Almighty' is now unbeaten in his last nine UFC appearances.

The Ipswich-based fighter has moved up to No.6 in the featherweight rankings and is likely just one more win away from a title shot. He called for a fight with Calvin Kattar next, who is one place above him and last fought in January against Giga Chikadze.

Allen revealed that after the weight cut for his fight with Sodiq Yusuff last year went wrong, he was glad to not make the same mistake for his fight with Hooker and successfully rehydrated by putting on 20lbs following the weigh-ins.

"What I did last time when I fought Sodiq Yusuff because they weigh you on fight day, I weighed 153lbs which is over 10lbs lighter than what I should fight at, just because I messed up the weight cut and messed up the rehydration," he said on The MMA Hour.
