This is a great fight that could really go either way. CLD is the more technical striker between the two and while he is very dangerous in his own right, I think Rodrigues is going to be the more dangerous guy. I also think Rodrigues has proven to be insanely durable and have multiple paths to victory. I fully recognize how good CLD is, but he also starts to feel himself and showboat a little bit – He could absolutely get too comfortable with early success and give it up. I'm going to pick CLD because of the sharp striking and home town advantage, but this could be a landmine.

Christian Leroy Duncan

Christian Leroy Duncan is a high pressure fighter with 9 finishes in 10 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 ground and pound finish over Claudio Ribeiro.

Gregory Rodrigues

Gregory Rodrigues is a well rounded guy with striking power and a BJJ black belt. Even though he has that blackbelt and is more than capable on the ground, he has really good takedown defense which he uses to keep fights on their feet so he can slug it out. He's a big guy with power and strength and the reality is that he is a threat everywhere. He is coming off the KO win over Brad Tavares to make it two in a row.
