Prediction, pick for Eryk Anders vs. Christian Leroy Duncan

Prediction, pick for Eryk Anders vs. Christian Leroy Duncan

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

The opening bout of this week’s UFC Fight Night Main Card is a matchup between veteran Eryk Anders and Christian Leroy Duncan in a 185-pound contest. Both fighters have won three of their previous four fights.

Here is my best bet for Anders vs. Leroy Duncan at this week’s UFC Fight Night. 

Christian Leroy Duncan To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+180)

Leroy Duncan is 11-2 with eight knockouts in his career and is coming off a victory against Andrey Pulyaev. His opponent, Anders, has won two straight bouts but hasn’t fought in eight months (December 2024). His last victory was against. A legend in Chris Weidman, but he is 41 years old and is no longer the same competitor.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Leroy Duncan is a -520 favorite while Anders is a +390 underdog. With three of his four UFC victories coming by knockout, you can get him to do so once again at +180 against Anders.

Leroy Duncan should be able to get the best of Anders in the striking battle since he is quicker while being more accurate. If he keeps Anders at range, Leroy Duncan can break him down, eventually picking up the victory by submission or knockout.
