""It's been a great opportunity, it's been a great experience. I've learned a lot, had a lot of good goes, and what a way for me to jump into camp than finishing up with the champ at the end of his camp.""
""I know it's going to come out eventually that I used to talk sh*t or talk about Khamzat. But I had that conversation with him and his team before I came here. It was just trying to get the fight.""
""After being here with him, sharing rounds with him, talking with him, communicating with him, creating that bond, I think he's an awesome guy. I think he's a standup guy.""
Brendan Allen is training with Khamzat Chimaev ahead of UFC 328, where Chimaev will fight Sean Strickland. Allen appreciates the opportunity and has learned a lot during this training camp. He acknowledges that he previously sought a fight with Chimaev but has since developed a friendship with him. Allen describes Chimaev as a standup guy, contrasting with his earlier perceptions.
