Christian Leroy Duncan vs Andrey Pulyaev Prediction
England's Christian Leroy Duncan is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Gregory Rodrigues last time out and he will be desperate to bounce back here. He's lost two of his five fights since joining the UFC and both of them have come on the scorecards when he has been frustrated by his opponent. The UFC matchmakers have paired him up against a willing striker this time around.
He takes on Andrey Pulyaev who makes his Octagon debut after winning in Dana White’s Contender Series last August. Five of the Russian’s nine MMA wins have come by knockout and the likelyhood is that he will come to strike in this fight.
That should very well work in the favour of the Englishman in this fight and he can be devastating with his striking. This is a good stylistic matchup for him are we expect to get the victory.
Prediction: Christian Leroy Duncan to win by KO/TKO
