"CLD was pressing the action early, forcing Tulio to tie things up. Tulio would fire knees to the thigh of Duncan, but CLD had underhooks and was able to reverse. Late in the round, Tulio would get Duncan down, but CLD scrambled up and landed a takedown of his own, getting into side control, then mount, then taking the back and finishing the round strong with both hooks in."
"Duncan continued to bring the head in round two, catching Tulio with a right hand. CLD himself was showing some damage around one eye, but was still the fresher fighter. Tulio continued to tie things up, struggling with the offense of Christian Leroy Duncan. In control, Tulio fired a knee, then a shoulder strike, but wound up reversed anyway. Duncan re-engaged, and fired an elbow."
Christian Leroy Duncan, a Cage Warriors veteran with a 5-2 UFC record, faced Marco Tulio in middleweight action on the UFC Vegas 111 main card. Tulio entered 2-0 but suffered an early cut during a grinding fence sequence while Duncan pressed the action and secured underhooks to reverse positions. Late in the opening round Duncan scrambled, landed a takedown, advanced to side control, mount, and took the back with both hooks. In round two Duncan landed a right, connected with a spinning back fist and follow-up punches that knocked Tulio out at 3:20. Duncan now has three straight wins and a KO that could earn a Performance of the Night bonus.
