Christian Leroy Duncan Targets Title Contention Ahead of UFC Vegas 112

Christian Leroy Duncan enters his UFC Vegas 112 main event against Brendan Allen this weekend at the Meta APEX holding a five-fight winning streak. Following a July victory over Jared Cannonier, Duncan views a win over the fourth-ranked Allen as a gateway to title contention. He has expressed interest in challenging Sean Strickland for the championship, suggesting that a strong performance could put him in line for a title shot if current financial or logistical hurdles impact other matchups.

Beyond immediate title aspirations, Duncan identified former champion Dricus Du Plessis as a potential future opponent, ideally for a 2027 London card. Regarding his upcoming clash, Duncan anticipates a challenging test against the experienced Allen, whose submission-heavy gameplan he expects to encounter. While he remains focused on the present, Duncan maintains that his recent progression through top-ranked competition has prepared him for the elite tier of the division.
