In the post-fight presentation, Brendan Allen called out for a number one contender’s fight. He stated that it could be against anybody the UFC books him against. As such, he listed out a few names – Robert Whittaker, Jared Cannonier, and Khamzat Chimaev. He took a dig at Chimaev by pronouncing his first name in an NSFW way. Here is what he said:

I need a number-one contender shot. I think I deserve it. I've earned it. I've beat everyone they put in front of me. I've finished them. Whoever the UFC says it is, I don't care who, Whittaker, Cannonier, C**shot, whoever, I don't care.
