In the aftermath of UFC Vegas 90, a heated exchange unfolded between fighters Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori. Allen, who secured a victory against Chris Curtis, extended his win streak to seven and subsequently called out Sean Strickland and the current champion, Dricus Du Plessis. Allen's remarks towards Du Plessis were particularly bold, claiming Du Plessis couldn't compete with him both stylistically and physically, stating, "The guy can’t hold my jock strap." Marvin Vettori, who was originally slated to fight Allen but was replaced by Curtis, criticized Allen's performance and his callouts. Allen responded to Vettori's criticism by challenging his commitment, suggesting Vettori had no right to criticize after failing to show up for their scheduled fight, asserting, "You can’t talk s*it if you don’t make it to the war you were supposed to come to."
