CHRISTIAN LEROY DUNCAN will be part of the Britain vs the Rest of the World extravaganza the UFC are putting on this summer.
Mixed martial arts’ top promotion returns to the UK on July 27 for its second pay-per-view card in as many years – UFC 304.
The card is slowly but surely filling up with some of the biggest names in UK MMA.
And former Cage Warriors middleweight king Duncan will now be part of the all-star event.
Multiple sources have informed SunSport that the 28-year-old will make his fifth octagon outing at the Manchester card.
Standing between the protege of UK MMA pioneer Mark Weir and his fourth triumph in the promotion is Robert Bryczek.
Duncan is currently on a hot streak having racked up back-to-back second-round finishes of Denis Tiuliulin and Claudio Ribeiro.
Poland‘s Bryczek, meanwhile, will be out for redemption having lost his UFC debut to Ihor Potieria in February.
Bryczek was on a tear prior to his unsuccessful debut, winning five in a row via first-round knockout.
UFC 304 takes place at Manchester’s brand-spanking new Co-op Live Arena – the largest indoor arena in Europe.
