What a finish for Duncan I think he should get a UFC contract

Melan had to be blind or seriously had issues with his contacts or whatever.  He needs to get Lasik and be done with it.  That knee was telegraphed from last month.

i just watched this main event....how the hell did this dude get away with fighting with contact lenses in for so long?  and he was undefeated???  I wear contacts and they fall out or get loose when i just rub my eyes sometimes, i couldn't imagine going into a cage fight and expecting my contacts to not be a problem.

he deserved that knee to the head for stupidity alone

Yeah, I think Duncan is going to have issues in the UFC when his limitations get exposed but while it lasts, he will be fun to watch

I hope it works out for him.  I just don't think he is a fluid athlete.  His movement seems robotic.  It's not personal.  It's just what I see.

By robotic I mean not fluid.  It's like a slot receiver in football vs a track athlete.  Slot receivers can move in/out, are super fluid, move laterally extremely well etc.  Track athletes are often times straight line runners.  Both are great athletes but different.  Duncan is a good athlete.  That isn't a question.  But it would be the difference of an athlete like he is vs Israel Adesanya.  He's just a different type of athlete.  I think he is a little more stiff in his movement outside of in and out.

That's fine.  I just don't think he is going to be a top 15 fighter in the UFC.  That's just me.  I have nothing against him.  I hope I'm wrong!
