Christian Leroy Duncan put a vicious stop to Marco Tulio earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 8, 2025) at UFC Vegas 111 LIVE on ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, stopping the Brazilian middleweight with a brutal second-round TKO (spinning backfist and punches).
Duncan came into tonight’s main card curtain jerker as a decent betting underdog. That’s probably due to Tulio looking like a bona fide contender his last time out. However, Duncan entered this weekend with a 5-2 UFC record and was out to prove that he’s still a name on the rise at 185 pounds.
Tulio came out with some solid strikes and a nice takedown, but after that it was all Duncan. The towering English fighter utilized countless strikes from range and his own wrestling to start to wilt Tulio. Duncan’s efforts culminated in the second round when he launched a spinning backfist. It landed flush and Tulio was left on shaky legs, allowing Duncan to move in for the final touches on a memorable TKO stoppage.
