Brendan Allen had a great night at UFC Vegas 122 a couple weeks ago, and it’s still getting better.
In the main event, Allen took on Christian Leroy Duncan and held off the Englishman’s rise in a bloody five-round scrap. In the very last round of their competitive battle, Allen was able to take his opponent’s back and lock in the submission (watch here), securing an extra $100k bonus as a result of his late finish. As it turns out, that would not be Allen’s only bonus stemming from the evening!
Social media star SteveWillDoIt loves to throw money around and is a supporter of “All In.” After Allen’s big win, SteveWillDoIt (real name Stephen Deleonardis) paid for a brand new Cadillac for the surging 185-pound contender. “Congrats to my fighter Brandan Allen,” Deleonardis wrote on X. “This mother f—ker just got a caddilac as a performance bonus!!!!”
If the nearly $190k wire transfer wasn’t proof enough, Allen posted a video showing off his new wheels still in the dealership and thanking SteveWillDoIt and his associated companies/sponsors.
“We’re here at Cadillac New Orleans,” Allen said. “There that fight bonus from your boy SteveWillDoIt … this is f—king insane. Absolutely gorgeous man.”
After the big win, Allen has won four straight bouts and successfully reasserted himself into the Middleweight title mix. He’s been gunning for a grudge match versus former champion Dricus du Plessis for years now, and perhaps the timing is finally right. Either way, Allen should find himself in a title eliminator bout sooner rather than later, and he has a fancy new car to get him safely to the gym.
