vs Jonny Parsons coinflip UFC Fight Night Aspinall vs Tybura Full Card Breakdown, Analysis, and Predictions (UFC London) · July 18, 2023
Commits firmly to Roberts by name, then separately tells viewers to leave this fight off their card entirely -- named winner plus an explicit stay-away caps at coinflip, despite otherwise confident reasoning.
Roberts is a good striker who leans on a long 74-inch reach, a strong jab, real power and accuracy, though his output can be inconsistent and his chin is explicitly said to be slipping as his career goes on. The analyst calls him the far better grappler and ultimately decides the fight on Parsons's layoff rather than skill alone.
vs Jack Della Maddalena emphatic UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Spivac Full Card Analysis, Preview, and Prediction · November 16, 2022 · 1 read since
Explicitly quantified conviction: 'out of a hundred times... I think [he] wins it maybe 90', calls the matchup 'very clear', and recommends it as a parlay piece - the only hedge offered is giving Roberts 10 of 100, not a hedge on the pick itself.
A 35-year-old veteran the analyst openly debates as possibly in decline - he leans toward yes on balance but stops short of calling him finished, pointing to still-good striking and footwork and a last fight that went to a competitive decision rather than another finish. He has been knocked out multiple times earlier in his career, which the analyst flags as a real chin concern, and the analyst gives him a real but clearly secondary chance in a pure striking matchup.
