The Problem

Scotland

Easily upsets Jordan Vucenic
LightweightUFC
March 22, 2025
Duncan defeated Jordan Vucenic via submission (guillotine choke) at 3:42 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
No one could have possibly seen this one coming. Duncan dominated from start to finish despite entering as a +260 underdog. In a fight which lasted a shade under nine minutes, Chris landed a knockdown, four takedowns and 5:37 worth of control time. He nearly earned a Round 1 stoppage. It didn't materialize, but he didn't get discouraged. Duncan went right back to his grappling game in Round 2 and easily secured the submission win. Set to turn 32 years of age in May, Duncan, a two-time competitor on Dana White's Contender Series, has won four of five since making his official company debut back in March 2023.

Duncan is scheduled to compete against Jordan Vucenic in a lightweight fight at UFC London on March 22, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
March 22 is scheduled to include Duncan's first 2025 fight. He began his 2024 with a submission loss to Manuel Torres. After several re-schedulings, Duncan fought once more in 2024, and he got a submission win over his own but against Bolaji Oki.
Submission win in Paris opener
LightweightUFC
September 28, 2024
Duncan defeated Bolaji Oki via technical submission (guillotine choke) at 3:34 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Duncan is not known for his ground game, as this was just his second submission win in 14 professional bouts. He gave up two takedowns to Oki early on and appeared to be on all sorts of trouble. That's when Bolaji slipped while going for his third attempt, leaving Duncan the opportunity to grab his neck and clamp on the guillotine choke which eventually put the former to sleep. Chris has quietly racked up victories in three of his first four UFC bouts, in addition to picking up a win on Dana White's Contender Series prior to his official company arrival.

ANALYSIS
Duncan is looking to bounce back from his first UFC defeat after falling to Manuel Torres via submission at UFC Fight Night in February.
