Have to go with the more proven guy but I'll be rooting hard for the Swede

Prediction: wrong Enkamp   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I've watched a bit of tape on Enkamp and I think he takes this in an upset. He's primarily a karate-based striker who keeps his opponent at range with spinning attacks and uses these to get his opponent against the cage where he proceeds to spam the TD which he does usually hit. Doesn't switch from orthodox kind of...ever. He's basically a considerably worse version of GSP but doesn't have a jab, definitely doesn't scramble as well, and is considerably slower everywhere

.At least, that's who he seems to have modeled himself off. He does have a  strong plum though and is good in the clinch.His striking is not varied, and he almost never throws straights which is weird for a karate guy. He's content to wait for the opportunity to land a left hook, which is his go-to.His striking defense is listed as 35% but I think that's a bad statistic, he takes a lot of grazes and shots on the shoulders but seems to slip most of the hard stuff.

He is decent off his back but not remarkable and does tend to get swept and reversed when he shouldn't. Good chin, he got cracked by a respectable left hook by Taleb and seemed unfazed by it. Roberts is a big puncher though. He will have better cardio than Roberts, and will be hard for roberts to read.


I think he wins this either by UD or by leg triangle in a bit of a boring fight.

Prediction: correct Roberts   wrong Decision  

Admittedly I haven't seen anything of Enkamp outside of his UFC debut against Taleb. I think he took that on relatively short notice and looked pretty impressive. This is a hard one to pick based on that, but I'm sure Roberts is driven to redeem himself back in England. Roberts is very underrated on the ground. He's good off his back when the fight goes there and is active with submission attempts. Enkamp is still young in his career and hasn't fought anyone with the experience and well rounded attack that Roberts presents. The only question mark I have is Roberts chin being put away pretty bad against Perry and Taleb. Think Roberts takes the win though.

Prediction: wrong Enkamp   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Enkamp looked really impressive against Taleb, if I remember rightly he was quite flashy, throwing some crazy leg kicks. I think he catches Roberts here, with something real clean and sends him to sleep. Enkamp to get his first UFC win in London!

Prediction: wrong Enkamp   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I like the up and coming prospect Enkamp to catch a submission in the 2nd round. Nice value on betting Enkamp as a dog too.
