From Dream to Reality at the UFC APEX
Many fighters step into the UFC with long-held dreams. For Duncan, whose record stands at 13 wins and 2 losses, the APEX is the place where his dream took shape. He recalls days when he was young and hopeful. Every wish and step joined close: candles, coins, and wishes near his heart.
“I used to blow out candles, put coins in wishing wells, all hoping to get to the UFC,” he said before his bout at UFC Vegas 108. His steady work, linked closely with his determination, turned those simple wishes into real success. Returning to the very venue where he earned his contract fills him with gratitude and drive. Duncan does not feel fear when he steps into the APEX. Instead, the tight bond between his past and present reminds him of his growth. “Not many people can say they’ve managed to get their dream, so I’m in a very fortunate position,” he said with a calm pride.
Preparing for a Tough Opponent
In the co-main event against Mateusz Rebecki, Duncan faces a fighter known for pressure and forward attacks. Rebecki’s style—full of heat and wrestling—creates a challenge that Duncan meets with care. “He’s going to come forward with some heat,” Duncan said, linking his calm defense with a plan for smart offense. Each part of his plan—defense and attack—stays tightly bound. Every word and move connects closely to his training at the APEX.
The Symbolism Behind Success
Asked about what broke him into the UFC, Duncan laughed and gave credit to his own strong spirit. He raised his fist and said, “This bad boy here.” In that small gesture, work and will join in one close bond. His journey reflects many fighters’ paths. Hope, struggle, and hard work link together to form the dream of fighting at the UFC APEX. Here, every moment is a sign of life’s hard-earned success.

His words and actions join together, close and firm, as he takes on new challenges in the UFC octagon.
