Christian Leroy Duncan added another significant triumph to his professional record at UFC London, decisively defeating the seasoned middleweight Roman Dolidze. This victory marks Duncan’s 14th career win.
Throughout the initial two rounds of the contest at the O2 Arena, Dolidze, who has frequently served as a gatekeeper in the middleweight division, appeared to be outmatched by Duncan. Duncan skillfully dictated the pace, consistently pressuring Dolidze and maintaining control inside the Octagon.
Dolidze eventually found a window of opportunity in the third round, managing to take Duncan’s back against the fence and establishing a body triangle. While Dolidze accrued over two and a half minutes of control time during this final period, it proved insufficient to overcome the early dominance and the damage inflicted by Duncan.
The judges’ official scores confirmed Christian Leroy Duncan’s unanimous decision win over Roman Dolidze, with all three scorecards reading 29-28 in favor of Duncan.
