"It's kind of like that girlfriend that never went away."
"It's definitely the fight I wanted. To make good fights, you need a good dance partner, and Terrance is that."
"There's definitely no bad blood. There'll be bad blood on Saturday night, I can tell you that."
"I feel he's pretty one-dimensional in the sense that he hasn't been out of the first round and won. If we get to see the second and third, you've seen from my last performance how hard I can push myself."
Chris Duncan meets Terrance McKinney at UFC 323 after a previously cancelled October 2023 bout and months of social-media exchanges. Duncan describes the matchup as the fight he wanted and praises McKinney as a strong opponent and dance partner. Duncan insists the banter has stayed friendly while acknowledging the competitive stakes and saying there are no friends in the fight game. McKinney presents danger with 16 of 17 wins by first-round finish, and Duncan expects to test his cardio and durability into later rounds. Duncan carries a three-fight winning streak, bonus awards, and confidence from his best camp yet.
