Breakdown

Chris Duncan and Drew Dober throw at nearly the same pace, about 4.4 significant strikes a minute each, and both absorb a little over 4 and defend about 53%. The gap is in how they get there. Duncan lands 46% of his strikes to Dober's 41%, and he is the far more active wrestler, attempting 2.5 takedowns per 15 minutes against Dober's 0.65. Dober carries the bigger knockdown rate (0.65 vs 0.40) and a 45% finish rate, but he has been knocked out 3 times and submitted 4 in 26 UFC fights. Duncan has the size edge, with 2 inches of height and 1 inch of reach.

Our model gives Duncan 72%, and the market has him at 56%. That 16-point gap is large. The model leans on Duncan's better striking accuracy, his wrestling and control edge, and Dober's age of 38 plus his history of getting finished. The market may be giving more credit to Dober's 26-fight experience, his current two-fight win streak and his power, and the model may be underweighting his age and layoff, which are about 252 days for him and 224 for Duncan. Duncan is also coming off a loss.

Key question: can Duncan turn this into a grappling fight, or does Dober land his power first?
