Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan are headlining the UFC Fight Night card this Saturday evening in Las Vegas.
Brendan Allen is putting his #5 ranking on the line here. With Sean Strickland, the champion, coming out recently with his frustration with the UFC, the title could be up for grabs sooner rather than later. Between late 2024 and early 2025, Allen suffered two defeats that put his fast track to a title shot on hold. Imavov and Anthony Hernandez picked up unanimous decision victories over Allen back then. However, he has since gotten back on track. After a decision victory over Vettori, he finished de Ridder, and then won via unanimous decision over Shahbazyan back in June.
Duncan is currently ranked #10 in the division and has a massive opportunity here against Allen. A win would vault him into the top of the division, and a title should be coming in the near future. He is currently on a 5-fight winning streak, and his unanimous decision victory over Jared Cannonier back in July was the biggest of his career. Now, he faces arguably his next toughest challenge with a chance at moving up the rankings quickly.

Our Brendan Allen vs Christian Leroy Duncan Prediction
Combined, these fighters have only gone past the 3rd round in 2 fights. Those were both done by Allen. With that being a factor, we believe that each fighter will be methodical in their approach in order to avoid gassing out early. Duncan has the power advantage on the feet, and Allen has the advantage in the grappling department. We think this clash of styles will lead to this one going further than the experts believe.
