It means Duncan heads into this weekend’s assignment riding a three-fight win streak. And with Duncan looking better with every fight, and his teammates from American Top Team flying high, the 32-year-old from Alloa, Scotland, is soaking up all the positivity he can find.
“Energy is a big thing,” he explained.
“Life in general right now, there’s a lot of mental health going around, and stuff like that. So it’s the way your internal voice speaks to you – it’s the most important.

The morale of your teammates and all these sorts of things is a big thing for me. And the energy – I’m a big guy on energy – I’m looking forward to Saturday, where there’s gonna be big energy, a big crowd, T-Mobile Arena. What more can you ask for?”
Those teammates have helped take Duncan’s game to a new level. His development since joining American Top Team has been impressive to watch, with the Scot showing improvements from fight to fight as he has built a 5-1 resumé in the Octagon. The move to train at the world-renowned Florida gym has been a gamechanger for Duncan, who paid tribute to his teammates and coaches for making him a better fighter.
