Brendan Allen believes Christian Leroy Duncan must catch him
\nclean at UFC Vegas 122<\/h2>\n

While Allen acknowledges that Duncan might be more athletic, he
\nbelieves he is more durable than the Englishman. \u201cAll In\u201d predicts
\na one-sided beating unless Duncan catches him with a clean
\nshot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think just his flashy style; the only way he wins is to catch
\nme,\u201d Allen said during media day. \u201cI don\u2019t think anywhere else he
\ncan beat me. I don\u2019t think he can wrestle better than me. We know
\nhis jiu-jitsu is not better than mine. I think purely basics of
\nstriking, I think mine are a lot better. I think he\u2019s probably a
\nlittle bit more athletic than me. But I definitely think I\u2019m way
\nmore durable than him\u2026 If he doesn\u2019t catch me, I\u2019m gonna beat his
\n*ss as long as the fight lasts. If it goes past the second, I think
\nthat\u2019s where you\u2019ll see the clear runaway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen is riding a three-fight winning streak, having defeated
\nMarvin
\nVettori<\/a>, Reinier
\nde Ridder<\/a> and Edmen
\nShahbazyan<\/a> since losing to Anthony
\nHernandez<\/a> in February 2025. Meanwhile, Duncan has won five
\nconsecutive bouts, including victories over Roman
\nDolidze<\/a> and Jared
\nCannonier<\/a> in his last two outings.<\/p>\n
