Chris Duncan’s commitment to a never-say-died creed paid massive dividends when it mattered most.
The Scotsman was one of five competitors to book their spots in the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Week 2 of Dana White’s Contender Series, as he battled back from the brink of defeat to knock out Charlie Campbell on Tuesday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Duncan (9-1) brought their marquee matchup to a shocking conclusion 1:43 into Round 1.
Campbell (6-2) had “The Problem” on rubbery legs with a series of ringing right uppercuts and seemed to be ticketed for a finish of his own.
