Chris Duncan-Yanal Ashmouz Pick, Prediction and Odds
Chris Duncan-Yanal Ashmouz Odds
Chris Duncan: -125 | Yanal Ashmouz: +105
Duncan lands 4.69 significant strikes per minute while absorbing the same number. He also lands 4.73 takedowns per bout on 36% accuracy. Duncan has never faced a takedown attempt in his UFC career, and of his 10 wins, he has seven knockouts and one submission.
Ashmouz is a tougher evaluation given the limited UFC experience. It only took 15 strikes and one takedown for him to put away Patterson in the first round of his UFC debut. Ashmouz has four knockouts and a pair of submissions within his seven professional wins. Ashmouz’s lack of UFC experience appears in his wild striking. However, he does have solid wrestling and solid ground and pound.
Duncan nearly lost to Charlie Campbell before landing a knockout on the Contender Series. With both fighters willing to trade, knockout props should be examined later in the week. With that said, sprinkling the underdog Ashmouz has some value as well.
