Christian Leroy Duncan took advantage of the home advantage to continue his good run in his career. At UFC London , an event held last Saturday (21), the Englishman delighted the crowd at the O2 Arena, winning against Roman Dolidze by unanimous decision, securing his fourth consecutive victory in the middleweight division (up to 83,9 kg). Therefore, 'CLD' had his work recognized this Tuesday (24), in the weekly ranking update released by the organization.

Despite being a UFC veteran, Leroy Duncan came close but never managed to establish himself among the elite of the division. However, now the striker has turned the tables. By achieving the most important victory of his career, the man who defeated Marco Túlio Matuto finally entered the top 15 of the middleweight division and has already moved up to 12th place.

On the other hand, Dolidze, with two consecutive defeats, plummeted in the category's standings. Losing four positions, the Georgian fell to 15th place.

At UFC London , Michael Page was considered the favorite in the clash of Englishmen against Sam Patterson and, in fact, he won. The renowned striker defeated his compatriot by unanimous decision, but the fight was disappointing due to a lack of action. In fact, 'MVP' was booed by fans during and after the fight and criticized by Dana White. Nevertheless, despite the controversies, the athlete secured his third consecutive victory and, surprisingly, climbed one spot in the welterweight rankings (up to 77,1 kg), reaching 12th place.
