Roman Dolidze vs. Christian Leroy Duncan UFC Fight Night 270 expert pick, prediction
Filling out the main card is a middleweight fight between Roman Dolidze and Christian Leroy Duncan.
Dolidze is coming off a rough loss to Anthony Hernandez, while Duncan is currently riding high off a three-fight winning streak.
Although Dolidze was apparently injured heading into his last bout, I still can’t say that I like his chances here. Unless Dolidze can consistently ground Duncan in the larger octagon, then I suspect that Duncan’s speed, footwork and striking savvy will be too much for the Georgian down the stretch.

The pick is Duncan to win a competitive but clear decision on the judges’ scorecards.
