Will face Sadykhov
Duncan is slated to square off against Nazim Sadykhov at UFC Denver on July 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Duncan is looking to bounce back from his first UFC defeat after falling to Manuel Torres via submission at UFC Fight Night in February. Prior to the loss, he won his first two fights with the company over Omar Morales and Yanal Ashmouz. He will look to get back on track against Sadykhov, who is 2-0 since entering the UFC octagon.

Suffers first UFC defeat
Duncan lost to Manuel Torres via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:46 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
It simply wasn't Duncan's evening. Going up against a highly-talented young opponent in enemy territory, Chris stood no chance. He cracked Torres with one big shot seconds after the opening bell rang and was actually credited with a takedown shortly thereafter, but Torres eventually forced him to the mat and immediately took his back, clamping on the rear-naked choke. Duncan had won each of his first two UFC bouts since officially joining the roster last March, so his roster spot is plenty secure.

Added to UFC Mexico
Duncan (undisclosed) will take on Manuel Torres in a lightweight matchup at UFC Mexico on Feb. 24, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Duncan is off to a 2-0 start to his UFC career, with both wins coming by way of decision. He'll take on a fighter in Torres who is also 2-0 with the company, though both of his wins have been via first-round stoppage. Considering Duncan averages a solid 3.63 takedowns per 15 minutes of fight time, he will likely want to avoid the stand-up here due to the tremendous volume-based attack of Torres, who averages 9.66 significant strikes landed per minute.
