Sportskeeda's take

An exciting signing for the UFC and fight fans alike, as the Bantamweight division is stacked with talented professionals all gunning for a shot to be the Champion.

With Duquesnoy, the company has not just got a guy with his age, passion and skill in the sport of MMA but a man similar to Conor Mcgregor, as he was signed from one of the biggest promotions in Europe and is a two-weight champion coming into the UFC.
