This is another straight forward pick. I love this card for bets because there are some very clean cut spots and this is one of them. I could sit here and talk about Jared like its 2023 and he just beat Marvin Vettori, but its not, It's 2026 and he is 42 years old, chinny and slow. CLD should run laps around Jared and touch him with whatever he wants to. The pick is for speed, youth, and athleticism. The odds right now are incredible so I would pounce before they are gone.
Jared Cannonier
Jared Cannonier is powerful and incredibly dangerous but also old and starting to slow down. He switches from south paw to orthodox and throws kicks from both sides. He has solid grappling defense and a great resume. He only averages .54 takedowns per 15 minutes but he does have 8 takedowns in his last 5 fights because as he is getting older he is trying to adjust his style. He is coming off the decision loss to MVP where he was too slow and couldnt manage the range.
Christian Leroy Duncan
Christian Leroy Duncan is a high pressure fighter with 11 finishes in 14 wins. He is a powerful striker who comes forward with pressure, speed and creativity. He throws everything at his opponents but if things get heated on the way back he quickly turns into a wrestler. He's wild, sometimes sloppy but incredibly dangerous on his feet and has solid ground and pound if he ends up on top. He is coming off the decision win over Roman Dolidze where he more than 5 times'd his strikes.
