Despite past differences, Allen has reconciled with both Curtis and Strickland. "I talk to Chris and Sean when I come to the PI if they are there, we chat. Me and Sean squashed out stuff, we are cool. I wouldn’t say we are friends, like best friends, but we are cool. Me and Chris have always been cool," Allen mentioned. However, Allen's friendly relations outside the Octagon don't diminish his focus inside it. He acknowledges that it's a business and remains determined to perform his job efficiently.
