Christian Leroy Duncan Outpoints Roman Dolidze at UFC London, Extends Win Streak to Four

UFC’s “welcome to the rankings” message signals his move into the middleweight pecking order.

Overview

  • Duncan defeated Dolidze by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) on the UFC Fight Night 270 main card at The O2 in London.
  • He built an early lead with superior striking and pressure, while Dolidze’s third-round back control and more than two and a half minutes of final-round control could not sway the scorecards.
  • The victory pushed Duncan’s run to four straight wins and improved his professional record to 14-2, with post-fight focus turning to higher-ranked opponents.
  • Pre-fight betting at DraftKings listed Duncan as a heavy favorite at -425 against Dolidze at +330, matching the result.
  • Dolidze entered after an August submission loss to Anthony Hernandez, and coverage characterized him as a long-time gatekeeper whose standing may be slipping.
