Duncan vs Todorovic Prediction
Dusko Todorovic's UFC career has seen its ups and downs since it started back in 2019. The Serbian has posted a pedestrian 4-3 record, with his most recent fight ending in a KO win over Jordan Wright in October. He has become accustomed to being the guy taking on new fighters on preliminary cards.
That new fighter on Saturday is Christian Leroy Duncan. The 27-year-old has dominated the Cage Warriors scene, posting a 7-0-0 record with wins by KO/TKO, decision and submission. Anticipation for Duncan's debut continues to rise as fans think he could be a quick riser given his unique skillset.
Keep in mind Todorovic has yet to win a fight in which he was slated as the underdog and now he has to face a fighter on a meteoric rise. Racking up seven wins in the span of two years is not an easy feat to accomplish. Duncan is riding all sorts of momentum here and that will make a major difference.
I'll side with'Christian Leroy Duncan to come out on top.
Duncan vs Todorovic Best Bet
This is a great opportunity for Duncan t o make an immediate splash at the UFC level with a victory this weekend. Backing him as a -205 moneyline favorite means laying down a large wager to secure a worthwhile payout, though. Trusting Duncan to get the job done with a knockout is the way to go.
Duncan owns a 7-0-0 professional record and five of those seven wins have come via KO/TKO. On the other side, two of Todorovic's three losses in the UFC have come via KO/TKO. Todorovic absorbs 4.54 significant strikes per minute (47% strike defense), so expect him to get worn down from the start.
