The co-main event of the UFC OKC card on Saturday at Paycom Center will feature ranked middleweight contenders Jared Cannonier and Christian Leroy Duncan in a battle to improve their position in the division.
Because of his four-fight win streak, Duncan heads into the match as the considerable betting favorite with -400 UFC odds. On the other hand, Cannonier, who has won only two of his last five matches, is the +310 betting underdog.

UFC OKC: Jared Cannonier vs. Christian Leroy Duncan: Prediction
With power, precision, and a wider variety of strikes, I predict a TKO/KO win for Duncan over Cannonier. The 12-year age gap will be the ultimate catalyst in this match because Duncan will be more athletic and explosive than Cannonier.
Cannonier is now at the tail end of his pro career, and even though he still has one-punch knockout power, I think Duncan will be quick enough to evade it. Duncan is also a good kicker and fires different types of kicks.
Duncan’s best route to victory is to target and attack Cannonier’s lead leg to slow his movement and suppress his power. Then, once Cannonier slows down, Duncan should press him against the cage and overwhelm him with combinations.
