Out for UFC 307
Curtis is out for UFC 307 due to a foot injury, according to Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Curtis was expected to compete against Kevin Holland at UFC 307. But on Wednesday night, while hard sparring with Caio Barralho, Curtis suffered a training injury in the form of a slight fracture in his left foot. Curtis is also dealing with a Lisfranc injury, bones in the midfoot being broken or ligaments supporting the midfoot being torn. At the very least, Curtis looks to be good for December, though that means months before he can compete again.

Suffers hamstring tear
Curtis disclosed Monday that he suffered a Grade 3 hamstring tear, according to his personal X account.
ANALYSIS
It turns out that Curtis' hamstring injury he suffered against Brendan Allen was also the most severe hamstring injury he could get, which is expected to keep him out for a while, maybe even until 2025. He went 1-2 with a no-contest across his last four fights.

Drops war to Brendan Allen
Curtis lost to Brendan Allen via split decision (47-48, 48-47, 46-49) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Curtis won via second-round knockout when these two first met in December 2021. He was unable to emerge victorious here, but put forth another credible showing, particularly considering he accepted the fight on short notice. Curtis matches up very well against Allen because he's about the most durable man in the sport today. Brendan is primarily a brawler and Chris is willing to eat shots to get to his own offense. The difference in this fight was Allen's wrestling. Curtis is known for his exceptional takedown defense, but he allowed his opponent to land 6-of-13 attempts, a couple of which came at key times. It should also be noted Chris appeared to injure his leg late in the fight. He essentially had to be held up as the decision was announced and was assisted to the back after the bout. Having fought four times (1-2, 1NC) in the past year, Curtis is due some time off regarding of whether or not the injury is serious.
