The Russian fighter lost to Brazil’s Michel Pereira with a third-round submission at UFC on ESPN+ 34 in Las Vegas. Imadaev (8-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC) fell to a rear-naked choke at the 4:39 mark of the final round of his welterweight contest. But the referee’s intervention was off to many watching from home, and certainly for Imadaev. The 25-year-old complained to the referee about the stoppage, claiming he didn’t actually tap out to Pereira’s submission.

Appearing on ESPN’s post-fight show, Roberts (17-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) explained how he and his team had the dangerous first-round finisher well scouted heading into the matchup, and prepared their gameplan accordingly. “We knew what we had to do,” he explained. “I wanted to be a little bit different, look more dynamic and just apply a good gameplan and wait for the right time. “It was crazy because we were watching his last fight with Max Griffin and he’s sloppy with the back hand.

Roberts (17-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) was determined to bounce back into the win column after being stunned by acrobatic Brazilian welterweight Michel Pereira in his last outing. And the Brit did just that as he went toe-to-toe with fellow power-puncher Zelim Imadaev at UFC on ESPN+ 21 in Moscow. Roberts opted to fight off the back foot in the early going as Imadaev (8-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) pushed the pace. But dragging the Russian – who is known for his penchant for first-round finishes – into deeper waters was clearly the gameplan, and Roberts mixed in a few takedowns with his bread and butter, his striking, to take the fight into the second round.

And even after Griffin took a majority decision in their hard-fought welterweight matchup at UFC 236, he was not ready to drop their beef. “This guy is a genuine idiot,” Griffin told reporters, including MMA Junkie, backstage at State Farm Arena following the fight Saturday night in Atlanta. “This ain’t like a backyard brawl, and he can’t differentiate that. We’re professionals, and he’s not.” After a week of back-and-forth verbal lobbies, things got stupid on Friday’s weigh-in day
