Duncan recalls his first amateur fight occurring right after her death, showcasing his determination and resilience. This painful motivation drives him to push through challenges in MMA, highlighting the emotional depth behind his athletic success and the ongoing influence of his mother in his life.
I lost my mom very tragically. I don't get to share things like the birth of my children and my wins.
That's why I started this journey.
I used to be a shepherd and I stopped being a shepherd because my mom was ripped away from me.
My mom died the day of the weigh-ins of my first ever MMA fight. I'm as tough as they come.
