UFC Record Breakdown
Roman Dolidze is coming off a rough patch, dropping back to back fights after a solid run. That submission loss to Anthony Hernandez in August stung, especially after he'd just beaten Marvin Vettori in a five round war. Hernandez is now on an eight fight win streak and became the first fighter to stop Dolidze in recent memory. Now the Georgian is looking to get back on track against Christian Leroy Duncan, who's been on an absolute tear lately. Duncan is riding a three fight win streak with two brutal knockouts in his last two. He slept Eryk Anders in under four minutes back in August, then starched Marco Tulio in November. The English fighter is feeling himself right now, and fighting at The O2 Arena in London gives him that home crowd energy.
Both guys have serious finishing power, so expect fireworks early before someone gets caught.
This is a huge opportunity for him to crack into the rankings, especially against the No. 11 ranked Dolidze who desperately needs a middleweight rebound. The matchup is fascinating because Dolidze has that power and grappling threat. Remember when he broke Kevin Holland's rib with body shots in the first round? Dude can hurt you anywhere. But Duncan is a switch stance fighter with serious knockout power and he's been finishing guys lately. His striking looked sharp against Anders, landing 61% of his shots before putting him away. Duncan has remained unbeaten in London throughout his UFC career, and he's looking to keep that streak alive on Saturday.
This feels like a crossroads fight for both guys. Dolidze needs to prove he's still a contender at 37 years old, while Duncan is trying to announce himself as a real problem in the middleweight division. Someone's hype train is getting derailed in London, and ESPN has highlighted this as a potential show stealer on the card. The full UFC London card is stacked with this Dolidze vs. Duncan matchup sitting on a card headlined by Lerone Murphy vs. Movsar Evloev. The O2 Arena is going to be absolutely electric for this one. Duncan gets his biggest test yet against a ranked opponent, while Dolidze is desperate to avoid a three fight skid that could push him out of title contention completely. A win for Duncan could push him into the top 15 for the first time in his career, making the stakes incredibly high for both fighters.
