The middleweight battle between ranked contender Roman Dolidze and surging fighter Christian Leroy Duncan will be part of the UFC London card this Saturday at the O2 Arena in London.

Because of his three-fight win streak, Duncan will be the heavy betting favorite with -450 UFC odds, while Dolidze, who’s fresh off a submission loss in his previous fight, is going to be the overwhelming betting underdog with +340 odds.

UFC London: Roman Dolidze vs. Christian Leroy Duncan: Prediction

As the more well-rounded fighter, I predict a unanimous decision win for Dolideze over Duncan. Dolideze has the option to grapple with Duncan and counter his striking and power. Dolidze can employ this early in the fight to give Duncan a different look.

Dolidze can also attack the lead leg of Duncan with solid kicks because he’s very heavy on them. This allows him to generate incredible power in his punches. If Dolidze manages to slow down Duncan, I think he has the better chance of landing significant strikes and scoring points on the judges’ scorecards.
