\u201cCLD\u201d has a real shot at the rankings.<\/p>\n
MMAmania.com<\/a> confirmed with multiple sources today (Tues., Dec. 30, 2025) that No. 12-ranked<\/a> Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight Roman Dolidze will square off with rising contender Christian Leroy Duncan at UFC London<\/a> on March 21 inside The O2 Arena in London, England.<\/p>\n Dolidze (15-4) enters the matchup looking to rebound from the worst loss of his professional career. The 37-year-old Georgian was absolutely dominated by Anthony Hernandez, suffering a fourth-round submission loss in the main event of UFC Vegas 109<\/a> (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n That defeat snapped a three-fight winning streak for Dolidze, which included notable victories over Marvin Vettori, Kevin Holland (watch highlights<\/a>), and Anthony Smith. Still, consistency has been an issue, as Dolidze is just 3-3 over his last six appearances.<\/p>\n Fans have been waiting for Duncan\u2019s true breakout moment, and this could be it. A win over a ranked veteran like Dolidze would almost certainly punch his ticket into the Middleweight Top 15.<\/p>\n Adding to the intrigue: Duncan has never lost while fighting in London.<\/p>\n No other bouts have been announced for UFC London at this time.<\/p>\n
