Chris Duncan

favored everywhere except power

Described as surging and on the way up on a 15-2, 4-1-in-his-last-five run. A good striker who the analyst says is very good in a brawl specifically, with a lot of power and a pretty good leg kick, though his striking defense is bad -- tolerable, in the analyst's view, only because his gameplan should be to brawl anyway. His grappling is good: a good cage push and control there, decent takedowns, and an opportunistic guillotine that has been his signature way of finishing people, though the analyst is skeptical it lands against this particular opponent.

names Duncan by guillotine as the pick, then immediately concedes a McKinney blowout would not shock him at all, closing with an outright 'I don't know' on this one

As of 2025-12-02, his hands carry some pop and his leg kick is a weapon, and he's genuinely entertaining in exchanges, but his guard against incoming shots is described as bad, which the analyst says could cost him. His grappling is the stronger side of his game: solid cage pressure and control, workable takedowns, and he has been finishing fights with opportunistic submissions, mostly the guillotine.

He expects Vucenic to win only once his wrestling actually takes over the fight, a conditional path rather than an unqualified call, after calling Duncan's brawling live.

As of 2025-03-16, not his newest read. A decent, low-hands striker who thrives specifically in a brawl, since his guard tends to come apart outside of one; his power is what makes that trade worthwhile. His grappling is a decent complementary tool: cage control and opportunistic submissions.

He frames it as a close, hard-to-call fight even while taking Oki, and separately flags that the betting line favors Oki heavily enough that money could start moving toward Duncan -- outcome doubt plus a price caution, not just a line comment.

A decent, power-driven striker with a good leg kick who is most comfortable brawling -- praised and worried about in the same breath because his striking defense and low hands leave him open in exchanges. Has grown into a cage-control, grinding wrestling game the analyst calls real development versus his regional-scene reputation.

repeatedly names Torres as the pick and calls him the more dangerous striker outright, more than once; a conceded alternate path (Duncan grinding a decision via cage control) is acknowledged but the pick is restated, not reversed.

Chris Duncan is good in a brawl with power and leg kicks but decent (not great) striking overall, with poor striking defense and low hands; the analyst highlights that Duncan has added a real wrestling wrinkle to his game -- pushing opponents to the cage and controlling them -- showing a better fight IQ now than during his regional run or first Contender Series appearance. His only loss came by knockout.

Admits he has flip-flopped on this one repeatedly, and separately tells viewers not to bet it and that he will just watch -- named winner plus an explicit stay-away caps at coinflip.

Duncan is a decent, powerful brawler who thrives when fights turn messy, and has developed a good wrestling game (cage push, control) since moving training camps to the US. His stated flaws -- poor striking defense and low hands -- mean he gets dropped often, which the analyst treats as the deciding risk.

likes him, but close fight

Duncan is a durable brawler who wants to turn this into a standup fire-fight rather than a technical kickboxing match. He keeps his hands low and his striking defense suffers for it, but he can absorb a large volume of punishment and answer back with heavy shots. The analyst reads him as a clear favorite if the fight becomes a brawl, since Morales's own best path is a cleaner, longer striking game.
