Jared Cannonier is undoubtedly one of the most respected veterans in MMA. At 42, he appears to be facing one of his final fights, as he finds himself at one of the lowest points in his career, having won only 2 of his last 5 fights. The Texas native has established himself as one of the UFC’s most powerful middleweight strikers, using his high volume of strikes to win four of his last six fights by decision.

Meanwhile, Christian Leroy Duncan, while not as well-known as his opponent, has arrived in better form, having secured a four-fight winning streak in the UFC; however, the Georgian fighter has been criticized for his lack of knockout power, as three of his last five fights went the distance. His fighting style relies on a combination of punches and kicks, which makes it difficult to secure a knockout.

Despite his experience, Jared Cannonier is a fighter who likes to go the distance, just like his opponent Christian Leroy Duncan.

Our Jared Cannonier vs Christian Leroy Duncan Prediction

The reality is that Jared Cannonier may be facing one of his last fights in the UFC, so he won’t want to go out on a losing note. On top of that, the 42-year-old fighter has seen four of his last six fights go the distance.

On the other hand, despite being in good form after winning his last 4 fights, Christian Leroy Duncan has never faced the division’s elite, so, based on his last 5 fights, he’ll likely take the fight to a decision.
