Duclos followed the knockdown with hammerfists and ended it with 25 seconds remaining in the round.

Pre-fight analysis — how we saw it going in

Case for Duclos

Duclos wins by knockout or not at all: eight of his ten wins are knockouts, none by submission, and he conceded no takedowns at 100% defence in his one Contender Series bout. At 196 cm he holds an 8 cm reach advantage, and fights in front of a French crowd.

Case for Dias

Dias has finished seventeen of his eighteen wins — nine knockouts and eight submissions, one decision in an 18-5 career. He carries a 4.52 takedown average per 15 minutes and a 1.13 submission average into a fight with a man who has zero submission wins.

What We Were Watching For

  • Duclos absorbs 6.81 significant strikes a minute — the highest figure on this card — behind 46% defence.
  • Dias has one decision win in eighteen. Duclos has two in ten, and no submissions at all.
  • Duclos stuffed every takedown attempt in that one Contender Series bout; Dias attempts 4.52 per 15 minutes but has landed 0 of 7 in the UFC.
  • Both average under eight minutes a fight: 07:38 for Duclos, 06:39 for Dias.
