Chris Duncan Wants Jordan Leavitt or Trey Ogden Fight Next
When asked if he’d be interested in fighting on the UFC’s rumoured return to London in July. Duncan responded “Of course that would be absolutely fantastic.’“
When his former opponent Mike Figlak, who had to withdraw from their UFC 286 bout was brought up, Duncan said: ” I don’t think he’s going to be ready. I think he had quite a bad ACL tear. Obviously, I signed a contract for that fight. That’s definitely a good one.’“
When pushed further as to if he had any other names in mind, he would say: “Two people that sort of spring to mind, that guy who just had a pull out on Saturday, his name is Trey Ogden and another guy as well I’d like to fight. He’s also been in London before. He’s got a little bit of hype behind him, his name is Jordan Leavitt. I’d like to fight him.’“
“So Trey Ogden, or Jordan Leavitt. Two guys who spring to mind. Good all-rounders, Jordan Leavitt’s got more of a grappling pedigree, so let’s test it out’“
