Moicano takes on Duncan in UFC Fight Night

• Duncan is coming in on the back of a four-fight winning streak in his bout against Moicano on Saturday
• The Brazilian has proven himself to be a tough, go-the-distance challenger and will not go down easily to Duncan’s grappling style
• The fight can be watched on Paramount+, with the oddsmakers favoring the less experienced Scottish fighter

Another big-ticket fight is due to take place at the Meta APEX, Las Vegas, United States, with Renato Moicano squaring up against Chris Duncan. UFC Vegas 115 or UFC Fight Night272, as the event is also known, will feature two fairly equal fighters with Moicano coming in after back-to-back losses, and Duncan appearing resurgent.

Where and when to watch Moicato vs Duncan?

You will be able to watch the fight on Paramount +, which has become the official streaming partner for the UFC, ending the previously used pay-per-view model.

The fight will take place on Saturday, April 4, at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, United States, at 5 pmET.

Moicano or Duncan, what do the oddsmakers say?

Right now, Duncan is tipped to win against his more experienced opponent. Duncan is posted as the favorite across all US-facing sportsbooks, with the Scottish lightweight fighter participating in multiple bouts over the past few years, and his last loss was back in February 2024 when he was submitted by Manuel Torres from Mexico.

Since then, however, Duncan has been able to close four important bouts, taking out fighters such as Oki, Vucenic, and Rebecki, and most recently securing a win with a first-round submission against Terrance McKinney.

Duncan has also been proving himself to be an efficient grappler who can close in fights early and has no trouble overcoming an opponent by making them tap out.

Moicano vs Chris Duncan tale of the tape

So, where is Moicano’s strength in all of this?

Despite Moicano losing to Maklachev via submission as recently as January 2025 and going on an extended hiatus shortly after that, the fighter has proven to be a resilient contestant in any UFC bout.

His return after more than a year is definitely something to be mindful of, but his track record is still impressive enough to be ignored lightly. Most importantly, Moicano has been a fighter who can repeatedly go the distance, meaning that he has the stamina to outlast opponents.

He has taken out Dober, Turner, and Saint Denis over the past years. Ending a fight early usually points to a skill disparity between fighters, but the fact that Moicano can play the long game is definitely something that plays well in his favor.

On the flipside, the greater risk for him on Saturday remains Duncan’s ability to close in and force him to tap out. However, bettors would most likely want to back Over 3 rounds bout.
