He didn't disappoint, dispatching his opponent in just seven seconds with a blistering KO, setting a new record for the fastest KO in UFC heavyweight history.

Expert Betting Tip

De Fries has forged his own unique style and amassed invaluable experience, setting himself apart from his first encounter with Duffee. On the other hand, Duffee has only suffered a decline in speed, physical fitness, and overall prowess. Early on, Duffee might be able to stop De Fries from taking him down, but he will eventually get too tired and be caught by De Fries' grappling moves, which will lead to a brutal ground-and-pound finish.
