Scheduled against newcomer
Duncan is scheduled to compete against Andrey Pulyaev in a middleweight fight at UFC London on March 22, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Duncan will look to bounce back after finishing his 2024 with a decisive decision loss to Gregory Rodrigues at UFC 304 in Manchester. The 29-year-old Englishman will have another opportunity to fight in his home country against Pulyaev, who recently earned a contract through Dana White's Contender Series back in August.

Struggles mightily in defeat
Duncan lost to Gregory Rodrigues via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a slight -130 favorite, Duncan had zero chance of winning this fight. He was thoroughly overwhelmed whenever Rodrigues went to his grappling game, and he didn't handle the strikes coming back his way well, constantly reaching for his opponent because he was worried about the power of the Brazilian. Duncan is long and lanky and good in open space, but there are serious questions regarding his all-around offensive arsenal. His 3-2 record in five UFC bouts simply isn't going to get the job done, even in a thin middleweight division.

Added to UFC 304
Duncan will face Robert Bryczek in a middleweight matchup at UFC 304 on July 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Duncan is a solid 3-1 to begin his run with the UFC, most recently defeating Claudio Ribeiro in March via second-round stoppage -- his second consecutive KO/TKO victory. He now faces Bryczek, a finisher on the regional circuits who fell short in his UFC debut against Ihor Potieria last February.

Strong run continues
Duncan defeated Claudio Ribeiro via TKO (strikes) at 1:57 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Easy work. There are real questions as to whether or not Duncan possesses the secondary offensive skills to defeat better competition, but he's an excellent kickboxer, particularly in open space, and he's going to carve up opponents like Ribeiro that sit back and allow him to go to work. Duncan did land an easy takedown early in Round 2 which eventually put him in position to earn the finish, but it was more the result of poor defending by Ribeiro than anything else. Duncan is 3-1 in the UFC, but has just 11 pro fights under his belt at age 28. The company can afford to take it slowly with him for another bout or two.

Taking part in UFC Vegas 87
Duncan is scheduled to compete against Claudio Ribeiro in a middleweight fight at UFC Vegas 87 on March 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
This is expected to be Duncan's first fight of 2024 and fourth fight since signing with the UFC. The first three fights were all in 2023, and he went 2-1 that year. While Ribeiro went 1-2, he did defeat Joseph Holmes via TKO, his 11th KO/TKO and win, so his finishing power is nothing to take lightly.
