    VIDEO: Christian Leroy Duncan Brings The Hurt With Another Violent KO At UFC Vegas 111

    Christian Leroy Duncan is known for the finishes he’s brought, and he delivered one of his best, if not perhaps his absolute best, in his win over Marco Tulio at UFC Vegas 111.

    Duncan’s striking was on display from the beginning, looking to land in a flashy fashion early on. In fact, a spinning elbow landed flush and busted Tulio open. Tulio, however, sought after the takedown and managed to score there. The two jockey for top position on the mat.

    Duncan’s flashy striking set was on display again in the second round, but Tulio pressured back and ended up opening a cut around one of Duncan’s eyes. But it was all for naught, as Duncan landed a spinning elbow that wobbled Tulio. He then landed a right hand that folded Tulio up out cold.

    Tulio sees a 10-fight win streak snapped with this defeat. He holds victories over Tresean Gore, Ihor Potieria, and Yousri Belgaroui.

    Add another highlight finish to the track record of Christian Leroy Duncan, as he scored a first-round knockout of Eryk Anders to open the UFC Vegas 109 main card.

    CLD found himself in some foul trouble early, landing an eye poke in the opening seconds, followed by an accidental groin shot not long after.

    Nonetheless, CLD seemed to get the better of Anders in the striking exchanges. He notably saw Anders dropping his hands on leg kick attacks.

    On one of these attacks, Leroy Duncan landed a spinning back elbow that rocked Anders. After some follow-up shots on the ground, the fight came to a quick close.
