Editor's Opinion

Damn, this Duncan vs Allen fight is the kind of bout that gets fans buzzing like a great episode of The Walking Dead—you know it’s going to be brutal, but you can’t wait! The Brit’s got the footwork of a cat and the reflexes of a ninja, but now he’s up against an Allen who’s as flexible as a circus contortionist and as patient as a Buddhist monk in meditation. Duncan’s talking about a quick finish, but if Allen slaps on a triangle before he can even say “strike,” we’ll get a grappling masterclass worthy of a Jurassic Park movie (except no dinosaurs, just arms in slings).
If Duncan wins, he’s got his ticket to Strickland, but if Allen submits him, we might just have the next official challenger. Kind of like if OSS 117 stumbled onto a new conspiracy mid-fight: unpredictable, but way too cool to miss. Either way, I’m betting on a tight fight, with moments where you’re thinking, "Oh no, not again!" before one of them finds the opening. And if there’s a technical KO, I’ll shed a tear like when you realize your favorite show’s last episode is the finale.
