Over the prelims, we have already seen some significant results for UK fighters with Mick Parkin losing his undefeated record against Marcin Tybura whilst Lone’er Kavanagh kept his intact.

The second fight on the main card may not have had title implications or perfect records hanging over it but both competitors did make things a bit more interesting ahead of fight night.

Jordan Vucenic and Chris Duncan agreed that the loser of their contest would have to get an X-rated tattoo of their opponent’s nickname after sharing the Octagon with each other.

Chris Duncan submits Jordan Vucenic with his second consecutive guillotine choke finish

Chris Duncan, who is the more experienced of the two inside the Octagon, started the fight incredibly well after a brief feeling out process.

‘The Problem’ detonated a huge straight right that came quickly after a body kick to drop Jordan Vucenic just after the 1-minute mark and the Scotsman went on to dominate the remainder of the round on top.

Duncan also started fast in the second, initiating another grappling exchange but the Englishman was able to get back to his feet on this occasion where he had some success on the feet.

Despite getting the better of the fight in the standing exchanges, ‘The Epidemic’ shot for multiple takedowns which led to Duncan following in the footsteps of his American Top Team teammate, Dustin Poirier.

‘The Problem’ jumped for the guillotine choke after his opponent went for a low shot against the cage and he secured the tap to make it back-to-back wins inside the Octagon via this particular technique.

With what could potentially earn him a post-fight bonus considering the lack of finishes thus far, Duncan achieved his fourth win in the UFC and in the process, came out on top in his pre-fight bet with Vucenic.

The 31-year-old did reference the bet in his post-fight interview but he didn’t seriously acknowledge it or hold it against his opponent in victory.

He did, however, receive some recognition from ‘The Diamond’ after notching another win via Poirier’s favorite submission technique.

Chris Duncan is hitting his stride in the UFC’s lightweight division

Chris Duncan appears to have turned a corner in his UFC career following a first-round submission loss to Manuel Torres in February last year.

Since then, the American Top Team fighter has recorded consecutive submission wins having opened his account in the UFC with back-to-back decision victories.

Vucenic, on the other hand, has now gone 0-2 inside the Octagon since signing to the promotion from Cage Warriors having debuted on late notice against Guram Kutateladze.

Whilst one fighter has seemingly settled into the 155-pound roster, the other has struggled to make that jump despite being one of the top talents on the European scene just last year.
