Christian Leroy Duncan Targets Middleweight Title Path Following UFC Vegas 122 Main Event

Ahead of his main event clash against Brendan Allen at UFC Vegas 122, Christian Leroy Duncan has set his sights on the upper echelon of the middleweight division. The British contender enters the contest riding a five-fight win streak, looking to secure his sixth consecutive victory to cement his status as a legitimate championship challenger.

Following a notable unanimous decision win over Jared Cannonier in July, Duncan believes that a strong performance this weekend should propel him directly into the title conversation. Speaking to MMA Fighting, the former Cage Warriors champion suggested that he sees no reason why he should not be considered for a bout against reigning champion Dricus du Plessis or an immediate title opportunity should he emerge victorious at the Meta APEX.

Duncan has maintained steady momentum since joining the UFC roster, establishing himself as a versatile threat in the 185-pound division. While Brendan Allen presents a significant hurdle, Duncan remains focused on the long-term goal of claiming divisional gold. The outcome of the upcoming main event is expected to play a critical role in the middleweight rankings as the division prepares for its next potential title cycle.
