Mokaev has always made me money, but with that recent shoulder injury I'm too paranoid this time given how soon the turn around has been. Also, Filho has the ability to put him to sleep on the feet.

I think we're getting a CLD spinning 'insert attack here' finish on this very very very very hittable head!

I was very impressed watching Duncans tape, he's fast, long and is powerful. My only real concern is striking defense

@taybazza yeah I don’t think he will struggle much with dusko. Dusko is the perfect debut opponent. He has skills everywhere but is very beatable. Hard hands but no chin and doesn’t move his head. He has grappling but his wrestling sucks and his bjj is just basic. He can test CLD everywhere but Duncan should just be the better fighter

CLD’s defense is the active footwork & his counters - I don’t see a flaw in his stand up defense. He’s next level in striking + (as it’s been said already) Dusko has horrible head movement. His chance to winning is to out grapple CLD, but he’s mediocre at best in that area. 
Will Currie is a far better grappler & Duncan beat him twice.

Outside the main & co main and some prospects this card is mid as ****. What's in the water over in the UK? Aspinall, till, paddy, Nathaniel wood all injured. Holloway vs Allen was supposed to be on this card too but it had to get pushed back due to Allen's hand injury. Y'all need some corn & guns over there across the Atlantic. USA USA USA 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸
