Roosevelt Roberts

He treats Klein as a clear, heavily favored pick with no real debate about it, giving a stated mechanism (keeping the fight standing) and no hedge on the outcome.

A tall (6'2") good-volume striker whose knees up the middle are a genuine height-driven weapon, but who undercuts his own height advantage by closing distance too much and giving up his long, rangy straight punches for hooks. A good scrambling grappler whose long torso lets him land uncommonly clean, straight ground-and-pound from top.

He says Rebecki 'probably gets this one done,' expecting a fairly easy path, and restates the pick plainly at the close with no walk-back on the win.

A good striker with real volume and a signature knee up the middle that a large height and reach edge in this matchup makes easier to land. His grappling is good too -- he creates scrambles, is hard to pin for a submission, and lands clean straight punches rather than wild shots once on top. His recurring flaw is losing control of his own range, crowding the man in front of him when he closes too much distance instead of using his reach. Stepping in on very short notice, with the contracted weight itself uncertain, to chase his first UFC win after the promotion passed on him following his Ultimate Fighter run. As of 2023-11-07.
