Allen Keeps His ACBJJ Belt With A Leg-Lock Finish
Gasanov entered the matchup as a Team Khabib standout and recent UFC signee, which made the result a useful crossover win for Allen outside the cage. Allen found the leg, secured the heel hook, and forced the tap before the match could stretch into a longer positional battle.
The win followed Allen’s July ACBJJ 21 victory over Ramazan Kuramagomedov, when he first took the promotion’s All-Stars title. One month later, he returned against another opponent tied to high-level Dagestani grappling and kept the belt with a clean submission.
The result also keeps ACBJJ’s recent run of UFC-linked grappling matches moving. Raul Rosas Jr. appeared in the same lane at ACBJJ 21, and Allen’s latest finish adds another current UFC name to the promotion’s submission-grappling results.
For Allen, the ACBJJ win sits alongside his MMA form rather than replacing it. He remains tied to UFC middleweight contention, but this result underlines the grappling threat that has shaped much of his career.
Allen has shown that same danger under MMA rules, including his UFC Vegas 82 win over Paul Craig. That performance already proved he could control elite grappling exchanges in the cage. At ACBJJ 22, he did it again in a submission-only setting.
