\nkey role against Allen. He says his technical understanding of

\nquite\u2026 I came into the UFC quite green and I’m still refining, you
\nknow? I’m definitely becoming a mature fighter,\u201d Duncan said in a
\nprefight interview. \u201cMy IQ and my knowledge of the game is catching
\nup to my athleticism and my physical ability now. This will come
\ndown to, yeah, he has experience, but I have evolution and hunger
\non my side too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen has gone 15-4 in the UFC since earning a contract on
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> in July 2019. Duncan joined the
\npromotion in 2023. The former
