Christian Leroy Duncan KOs Marco Tulio with Spectacular Spinning Back Fist – UFC Vegas 111 Highlights
Christian Leroy Duncan delivered one of the most brutal knockouts of 2025 in his main card opener against Marco Tulio at UFC Vegas 111.
Duncan came out aggressive almost immediately and caught Tulio with a clean spinning elbow that busted open the bridge of his opponent’s nose. With less than a minute to go in the first round, ‘CLD’ overswung, allowing Tulio to score a late takedown.
However, it was Duncan who would end the round in a dominant position, taking Tulio’s back and fishing for a late submission.
Standing his ground in the second round, Tulio appeared to catch ‘CLD’ with a shot that caused some blood to leak out from Duncan’s left eye. It was noticeably impacting Duncan, who was repeatedly wincing and attempting to wipe his eye. A replay later revealed that it was a jab from Tulio that caused the damage, not an eye poke.
Despite the setback, Duncan never backed down, delivering a booming spinning back fist that wobbled Tulio. With his opponent compromised, ‘CLD’ moved in and connected with a brutal right hand that put Tulio down and out.
Official Result: Christian Leroy Duncan def. Marco Tulio via KO (right hand) at 3:20 of Round 2.
