Taking part in UFC Vegas 87
Duncan is scheduled to compete against Claudio Ribeiro in a middleweight fight at UFC Vegas 87 on March 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
This is expected to be Duncan's first fight of 2024 and fourth fight since signing with the UFC. The first three fights were all in 2023, and he went 2-1 that year. While Ribeiro went 1-2, he did defeat Joseph Holmes via TKO, his 11th KO/TKO and win, so his finishing power is nothing to take lightly.

Easily handles late-notice opponent
Duncan defeated Denis Tiuliulin via TKO (strikes) at 4:24 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Duncan suffered his first pro defeat, a unanimous decision at the hands of Armen Petrosyan last June, and was due to fight Cesar Almeida here. Almeida withdrew just days ago, and Tiuliulin stepped in. It was a big break for Duncan, as Tiuliulin is one of the weaker middleweights on the roster. Christian responded with a dominant effort from bell-to-bell, hammering his opponent with power shots before closing the show late in Round 2. Duncan's secondary skills are questionable, but he's an athletic striker with legitimate power. He's a fighter to keep an eye on moving forward at 185 pounds.

No longer taking on newcomer
Duncan will not fight Cesar Almeida at UFC Vegas 82 on Nov. 18, according to Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
With less than a week before the fight, it was announced that Almeida has medical issues that require surgery. Without an opponent now and 2023 almost over, he is on pace to finish this year with a 1-1 record.

Will take on UFC newcomer

ANALYSIS
Duncan is coming off his first defeat with the promotion, falling to Armen Petrosyan back in June via unanimous decision. He'll look to bounce back and reclaim a winning record in the UFC against Cesae Almeida, who hasn't fought in the UFC yet and was recently awarded a contract after his performance at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders series.
