Allen, coming into the bout with a record of 27-7 and 15-4 in the UFC, brings a more aggressive and relentless striking style. He has improved his technique and fundamentals under the guidance of Belal Muhammad and the Valle Flow Striking crew. Duncan, with a record of 15-2 and 8-2 in the UFC, is a well-rounded fighter known for his efficient kicks, dynamic knees, and strong clinch game. He has also shown improvements in his boxing mechanics and defensive skills. The clinch will likely be a crucial juncture in the fight, with Duncan having the advantage due to his smoother transition between positions.",
