I get that Roman was just tossed around by Fluffy and that loss hasn't aged very well, but I promise you, Roman is still very good and has a path to victory in this fight. Roman could do exactly what Gregory Rodrigues did when he fought Duncan and just wrestle. The problem is, I don't know if he will. The older he gets the less he is wrestling and CLD is incredibly athletic. I am a big Roman Dolidze fan boy and truly believe that when he is dialed in, he is one of the most dangerous guys in this weight class, but he's hard to trust. I'm going to pick CLD here because of the speed and athleticism, but no bets because I fully recognize how good Roman can be. I'd like to pump a Roman Dolidze WITD dec. no action bet, but CLD is putting people to sleep and that bet screwed me last time.

Roman Dolidze

Roman Dolidze is a world champion grappler who has showcased those skills more than one time in the Octagon. The problem is though, you don't know when he will actually use his grappling. He has no problems marching forward, throwing heavy punches and getting stuck in a striking match. He has very real power but he does tend to chase it. Dolidze is a very well rounded fighter who can knock you out or submit you, but he doesn't always have the best game plans and can fade later in fights. He is coming off the submission loss to Fluffy Hernandez where he was sloppier than usual.

Christian Leroy Duncan

Christian Leroy Duncan is a high pressure fighter with 11 finishes in 13 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 finish win over a typically durable Marco Tulio
