Christian Leroy Duncan enters the middleweight co-main event on a four-fight win streak featuring three stoppages, most recently a second-round knockout of Marco Tulio and a decision victory over Roman Dolidze. The taller, younger Englishman brings finishing power and striking variety against veteran Jared Cannonier, who sits at 18-9 following a unanimous decision loss. Cannonier’s experience, durability, and proven middleweight resume provide counterbalance in what traders view as a stylistic clash favoring the prospect’s momentum. With the bout two weeks away at the Paycom Center, official weigh-ins, any late injury updates, and recent training footage will shape final positioning ahead of the July 18 resolution.
