Chris Duncan makes his return to Dana White’s Contender Series. Previously fighting for a chance at entering the UFC back in 2021. Tonight he gets a second bite at the cherry and looks to grab the opportunity with both hands.
Looking to make amends for not earning a contract last time. The Scot is a man on a mission and seeks retribution this time out. At 29, this would be the perfect time for him to enter the promotion, as he’ll soon enter his physical prime.
We spoke to Chris Duncan ahead of his match-up with Charlie Campbell at DWCS. You can check the interview out here!
Chris Duncan
8-1 as a professional, his only loss was his Contender Series appearance. Bouncing back since his loss, he won his last fight. Defeating Johnathon Carlos at UFL 8 via unanimous decision, a display that once again caught the attention of the UFC.
Before his last appearance on the show, he was a Bellator regular, having three fights for the promotion. A finisher, it’s no wonder the UFC have invited him to compete twice now. Of his eight pro wins, only one has seen the judges.
A top-class striker, he has finished six of his win via KO/TKO and holds a lone submission victory. He is looking to bring his finishing form to DWCS and earn a contract. If he can emulate his previous performances, you’ll see Chris Duncan in the UFC lightweight division very soon.
Charlie Campbell
Looking to throw a spanner into the works and upset Chris Duncan’s UFC Hopes. Charlie is no easy fight. 6-1 as a professional, his last loss came back in 2019 in his second pro fight. Since that loss, he has gone 5-0. Gaining his shot at a contract.
Also, a striker, his last three wins have all come by way of KO/TKO. Holding four overall with two decisions. Slightly younger at 27, the American fighter will have the home advantage when competing. Training at Longo and Weidman MMA. Charlie has some of the best sports minds around him.
One hell of a fight for Dana White’s Contender Series. This will be a barnburner. Take note of this one, as the winner will be making big waves in the UFC for years to come.
Does Chris Duncan achieve retribution the second time around?
