Winner: Christian Leroy Duncan
Confidence Score: 67Christian Leroy Duncan has a significant youth advantage (30 vs 37), greater reach (79" vs 76"), and is riding a strong win streak with recent finishes against solid competition. His significant strike accuracy (59%) is much higher than Roman Dolidze's (42%), and his striking defense is also slightly better (52% vs 49%). While Dolidze has more UFC experience and a higher takedown accuracy (39% vs 20%), his takedown defense is alarmingly low (26%), which could be exploited. However, Duncan's own wrestling stats are not particularly threatening, making this likely to play out on the feet where Duncan's volume and accuracy give him the edge. Historically, younger, longer, and more accurate strikers in the middleweight division have a higher win rate over aging, lower-output opponents. Dolidze's durability and power make him live, but the statistical and stylistic trends favor Duncan.
