Roberts took a hellacious beating against Perry.This is literally a 50/50 fight. Taleb has the better offensive wrestling game, and Roberts is the harder, more volume based striker who has a solid guard game. If Taleb is able to implement his takedowns or control Roberts for long enough he could take a decision, but I think I'll side with the guy who keep pushing a high tempo and continuous work rate in Roberts over 15 minutes.

Very technical, I think his discipline, footwork and wrestling make the difference. He plays the outside the whole time, has his moments and eventually Roberts accepts that this is where and how the fight goes down.

This was probably the hardest fight for me to pick on the entire card.
I ended up picking Taleb because he has more experience against tougher competition and i believe a higher fight IQ. Which is crucial in what will probably be a closely matched fight like this.
