UFC on ESPN: Holloway vs. Allen (also known as UFC on ESPN 44) is an ongoing mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship taking place on April 15, 2023, at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.[1]

Background

The event will mark the promotion's second visit to Kansas City and first since UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Reis in April 2017.[1]

A featherweight bout between former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway and Arnold Allen is expected to headline the event.[2]

A bantamweight bout between Danaa Batgerel and Brady Hiestand was scheduled for the event.[3] However, the pair was moved to UFC Fight Night: Pavlovich vs. Blaydes a week later for undisclosed reasons.[4]

A heavyweight bout between Jake Collier and Martin Buday was expected to take place at this event.[5] However, the bout was moved to UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Moicano for unknown reasons.[6]

At the weigh-ins, Joselyne Edwards weighed in at 136.5 pounds, half a pound over the women's bantamweight non-title fight limit. Her bout is expected to proceed at catchweight and she will be fined an undisclosed percentage of her purse which will go to her opponent Lucie Pudilová.[7]
